Mobile & Offline Services: Architect an iOS mobile application architecture capable of offline data capture, handheld local data validation, image metadata capture (eg, product photo attachments/barcodes), and reliable background synchronization upon reconnecting. Identity & Security: Implement secure multi-tenant identity and access management (IAM) strategies supporting both internal enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) and third-party partner access. Technical Stack & Mandatory Constraints Candidates must possess hands-on architecture experience within the following technological ecosystem: Domain - Required Technology/Constraint. Cloud Hosting - Google Cloud Platform (GCP) (UK Region) using Cloud-Native services. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - HashiCorp Terraform. Development Languages - Python (Primary). CI/CD & Repository - Google Cloud Build, GitHub. Mobile Platform - iOS (Swift/Native or Cross-Platform framework). Identity & Access - Google Cloud IAM integrated with Microsoft Entra ID (SSO). Field Management Integration - Exposure to third-party workforce/field management solutions (eg, TotalMobile or similar). Key Deliverables Discovery & Scoping Architecture Document: Detailed review of the current technical landscape and proposed target design recommendations. Technical Statement of Requirements (SoR): Formal technical specifications to form the baseline of third-party procurement and implementation tenders. Data Exchange & API Specification: Modernized data ingestion/export standards replacing Legacy flat-file mechanisms, including media metadata capture specs (image/GTIN handling). Architectural Blueprints: End-to-end system topology, data flow diagrams, security posture documents, and integration diagrams (produced via standard tooling such as Visio, Draw.io, or EA Sparx). Essential Experience & Qualifications Active Security Clearance: Must hold valid, active UK SC Clearance . Cloud Architecture: Proven track record designing enterprise-scale solutions natively on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Terraform. Mobile & Edge Computing: Experience designing hybrid online/offline mobile applications (specifically iOS) with local caching, edge validation, and secure cloud synchronization. Public Sector Standards: Deep understanding of UK Public Sector/Government Digital Service (GDS) principles, security classifications, and architectural governance frameworks. Integration & API Modernization: Strong background in replacing Legacy data batch processes with modern microservices, RESTful APIs, or event-driven data integration patterns. Vendor & Stakeholder Engagement: Experience managing multi-vendor landscapes, defining procurement technical specifications, and working alongside agile delivery teams (using Jira/Confluence). Desirable Skills Experience with field-force operational tooling or workforce management integrations. Knowledge of statistical data collection processes, complex automated validation rules, or survey data ingestion pipelines.

We deliver on-demand and private GPU infrastructure to teams who treat performance as a requirement, not a feature. We're a tight-knit, fast-moving team working at the cutting edge of AI cloud infrastructure. We practice what we preach, equipping our people with AI at every level so we can solve harder problems, ship faster, and keep raising the bar for what enterprise GPU infrastructure looks like. THE ROLE: Information Security Officer This role exists because as we scale our infrastructure and customer base, protecting the systems, data, and trust that underpin Hyperstack is a business critical priority.
