Pre-Sales Solutions Architect | £75,000 | Remote (UK Travel)

Are you a technically strong Pre-Sales Solutions Architect looking to work on nationally significant programmes within a security-led MSP?

We are working with a trusted MSP to recruit a Pre-Sales Solutions Architect on a permanent basis. The role is remote with regular UK travel for customer meetings.

The position requires SC and NPPV3 security clearance – candidates without current clearance must be eligible and willing to undergo vetting.

The Role

Sitting at the bridge between Sales and Engineering, you will work with customers, the sales team, and technical teams to design and position secure, compliant solutions for clients operating in regulated sectors. You’ll lead technical discovery, produce proposals and SoWs, and ensure a smooth handover into delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with Sales to qualify opportunities and understand customer requirements
  • Design end-to-end solutions across cloud, private cloud, networking, and infrastructure
  • Lead technical workshops, presentations, and solution demonstrations
  • Produce Statements of Work, proposals, and technical documentation
  • Ensure solutions meet relevant regulatory and compliance standards
  • Input into service design, pricing, and risk assessment

Skills and Experience

  • Proven background in a Pre-Sales, Solutions Architect or client-facing technical role
  • Experience with private cloud infrastructure (Nutanix, VMware, Proxmox, OpenStack)
  • Knowledge of public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Solid networking expertise – LAN/WAN, firewalls, VPNs, load balancing
  • Understanding of security and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST)
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with commercial awareness
  • Cloud/architecture certifications are a bonus

Salary: £75,000 depending on experience

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
