Location: London

We are currently looking for Solution Architects to join our clients collaborative team, driving business transformations through strategic insights to enable lasting change through pragmatic use of technology. Contribute to innovation and a mission for a more positive human future in a tech-driven world.

Work with clients to design and deliver their most complex business and technical solutions. Working through the full delivery lifecycle, our Solution Architects bring a hands-on, delivery focus across all domains and leading technologies to our clients.

Qualifications

As a Solution Architect and technology leader in our Clients Digital & Data team, you will:

  • Work directly with client colleagues to define robust technology solutions based upon our clients’ needs. Sometimes you’ll even need to help clients understand what those needs are as they start their digital transformation journey. Many clients are FTSE 100 companies, large government departments or critical national infrastructure providers and you can expect to get involved in projects that have genuine impact from day 1.
  • Own, create and assure key architecture artefacts such as: Key Design Decision, Technical Options Paper, High Level Design, Low Level Design, Reference Architecture and Roadmap. To do this, you’ll need to deploy a range of consulting and stakeholder management skills to inform, engage and influence colleagues and decision makers from across our client’s businesses.
  • Support client’s senior leaders to help shape their case for change, typically leading on cost estimation and supporting creation of detailed planning and benefits realisation for the technology solutions you design.
  • Work closely with Engineering teams, often taking a lead SME role helping to define the vision, establish Architectural Guardrails, Architecture Runways and Detailed Designs as well as unblocking the team as issues arise. Whilst operating as a Solution Architect, you will likely come from a hands-on Software Engineering background with experience leading engineering teams to deliver applications and services, enabling you to quickly build credibility.
  • Rapidly understand and effectively communicate complex technical ideas to board-level business leaders and their teams. You’ll use your technical writing and presentation skills to do this supported by productivity tools such as: PowerPoint, Word, Visio
  • Be confident using your architecture skills and experience across the full range of architectural domains, with a specialism in at least one: Business, Data, Application, Technology and Security
  • Bring to bear a clear understanding and practical application of architecture and delivery methodologies such as: TOGAF, Zachmann, MODAF or SAFe
  • Use your understanding and application of architecture modelling tools and frameworks to communicate your ideas: UML, ArchiMate, Ardoq, and others.
  • Design and deliver architecture solutions within governance and target operating models, using a range of ways of working and delivery methodologies: Waterfall, SAFe, Scrum, Kanban
  • Commit yourself to continuous improvement and professional development. Certifications in appropriate methodologies and cloud technologies are advantageous: AWS, Azure, GCP, TOGAF, SAFe
  • Thrive in a trust-based, inclusive environment that values excellence, innovation and curiosity. To support you, our client will provide a number of career accelerators including training opportunities – both business and technical, focused mentoring and the variety of engagements needed to really invest in your consulting skills and take your work to the next level!

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.
