Technical Architect - Data Platform Modernisation

We’re looking for a senior technical professional who wants to step into a broader technical architecture and design role. This role sits within a delivery-focused consulting environment and you’ll work under an established Head of Architecture when programmes require it but you’ll also have ownership of integration design and technical delivery on individual projects.

If you’re currently a Senior Developer, Integration Lead, or Technical Lead who enjoys shaping solutions as much as building them, this role is designed as a genuine step up.

What you’ll be doing



Designing and delivering integration solutions, APIs, and data flows for client projects

*

Acting as technical lead on delivery, guiding engineers and offshore teams

*

Producing pragmatic technical designs that balance quality, speed, and maintainability

*

Working with stakeholders to translate requirements into clear technical approaches

*

Implementing cloud integrations

*

Supporting data pipelines and integrations that feed analytics or AI-enabled use cases

*

Contributing to CI/CD and modern delivery practices

*

Operating confidently in a client-facing consulting role

You won’t be expected to define enterprise-wide architecture across multiple programmes. Strategic and enterprise architecture responsibility is already in place and available to support you.

What we’re looking for

*

Strong background as a Senior Developer, Integration Engineer, or Technical Lead

*

Hands-on experience designing and building APIs and integrations

*

Solid understanding of data integration patterns and data flows

*

Comfortable owning technical design for a project or workstream

*

Interest in AI-enabled solutions or data-driven systems (hands-on ML experience not required)

*

The attitude and ambition to grow into a broader architectural role over time

Why this role?

*

Clear progression path from technical lead to senior technical architect

*

Support from an established Head of Architecture

*

Varied project work rather than a single internal system

*

A consulting environment that values delivery, not just diagrams

*

Real opportunity to influence how solutions are designed and delivered

Package

*

Salary: £60,000–£70,000

*

Private healthcare

*

Pension

*

Life assurance

*

Employee assistance programme

*

Headspace subscription

*

Birthday leave

*

Flexible working within a hybrid model

This role does not offer visa sponsorship

How Many Cloud Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cloud Job?

If you are aiming for a role in cloud computing, it can feel like the skills list never ends. One job advert asks for AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes. Another mentions Azure DevOps, PowerShell and ARM templates. A third throws in Docker, Python, Linux, CI/CD, monitoring tools and security frameworks. It is no surprise that many cloud job seekers feel overwhelmed before they even apply. Here is the reality most cloud hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every cloud tool. They are hiring you because you understand cloud concepts, can design reliable systems, manage costs, keep things secure and support real workloads. Tools matter, but only when they support outcomes. So how many cloud computing tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most roles, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than scattered.
