Lead architecture reviews and ensure adherence to design standards, technical patterns, and best practices. Produce solution blueprints, reference architectures, and technical documentation. Validate that all solutions support operational excellence, reliability, and maintainability. Cloud, Infrastructure, and Platform Architecture Define scalable service-based architectures leveraging cloud-native patterns. Work with the Lead SRE to ensure architectural designs account for: Observability (metrics, logs, tracing) Reliability (SLIs, SLOs, failover) CI/CD automation Infrastructure as code and environment design Drive optimisation of compute, storage, and network resources across cloud platforms (Azure/AWS). Engineering Collaboration & Technical Enablement Partner with Engineering Manager to ensure squads have clear architectural guidance. Support teams in breaking down complex technical problems into executable, scalable solutions. Provide architectural input into backlog refinement, release planning, and prioritisation. Act as the primary facilitator for cross-team architectural decision-making. Communicate architectural decisions, trade-offs, and risks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Continuous Improvement & Technology Standards Define and maintain engineering standards, reusable patterns, and architectural principles. Champion continuous improvement across code quality, security, performance, and operational readiness. Foster a culture of technical excellence, experimentation, and innovation. Skills & Experience Essential: Proven experience as a Principal Architect, Solutions Architect, or Senior Engineer leading architectural decisions in complex systems.
