AWS Architect | £600 per day (Inside IR35)- Active SC Clearance required

Location: United Kingdom (Remote/Hybrid) Duration: 6 Months Initial Rate: £600 per day (Inside IR35)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a seasoned AWS Architect to join one of the largest AWS-based platforms in the UK. This platform supports over 100 teams and manages multiple critical workloads, offering a high-scale environment for a pragmatist who thrives on complex problem-solving.

The Role

As a Solution Architect, your responsibilities will be split across three core pillars:
Design & Governance: You will translate new requirements into robust design options, navigating them through formal assurance and into the delivery pipeline.
Team Support: You will act as a technical touchpoint for delivery teams, helping to resolve roadmap blockers and providing architectural analysis for service incidents.
Strategy: You will contribute to long-term architectural strategies and ad-hoc projects delegated by the Senior Management Team.

Due to the scale of the platform, you will work closely with a wider architectural community to exploit 'tribal knowledge' and ensure solutions are integrated across multiple domains.

Key Skills & Experience

Mandatory Requirements:
Expert AWS Knowledge: Deep understanding of core services including VPCs, subnets, EC2, Lambda, S3, Route 53, and VPC endpoints.
Networking: Strong grasp of TCP/IP, DNS, routing, and proxy patterns.
Containers: Good broad architectural understanding of Containers and Kubernetes.
Documentation & Communication: Proven ability to produce high-quality design documentation and communicate complex technical issues to everyone from junior engineers to senior leaders.
Soft Skills: Strong evidence of influencing, negotiating, and evidence-based decision-making.

Desirable (Optional) Experience: We value architects who can adapt quickly to unfamiliar tools. Experience in any of the following is highly advantageous:
Observability: Elasticsearch Stack, Dynatrace, Prometheus, or Grafana.
Security & Identity: Hashicorp Vault, LDAP, Redhat SSO, OIDC, and Firewalling (Fortigate/AWS Network Firewall).
Infrastructure/DevOps: Terraform, Concourse, AWS EKS, or Transit Gateway.
Connectivity: VPNs (OpenVPN/Site-to-Site) and Proxy Servers (Nginx/Squid).
