Job title: Senior Cloud Solutions Architect
Contract: 6 month contract rolling
Rate: £750 per day Inside IR35
Location: Cambridge/Hybrid (2 days per week onsite)
We're looking for a Senior Cloud Solutions Architect with 8+ years of experience designing and delivering complex cloud and infrastructure solutions, ideally across AWS, Azure and GCP to join a highly influential tech organisation that design energy-efficient microprocessor architecture.
You'll be working on a technically complex environment where you'll be responsible for shaping cloud and infrastructure solutions, translating requirements into robust architectures and then staying close enough to the technology to support implementation, integration and troubleshooting.
We're particularly interested in
genuine Cloud Solutions Architects
who have the breadth to operate across multi-cloud environments, but who also have enough technical depth to get into the detail when required.
The Role
You'll be responsible for:
Designing and owning
complex cloud solutions and infrastructure architectures
across AWS, Azure and GCP.
Developing
HLDs, LLDs, technical designs, architecture roadmaps and implementation strategies
.
Designing and optimising
hybrid cloud connectivity
between on-premises data centres and multiple public cloud platforms.
Working with
HPC / High Performance Computing environments
, supporting the design and deployment of high-performance infrastructure and networking solutions.
Assessing existing environments, identifying technical gaps and driving
redesign, optimisation and modernisation
.
Designing secure, scalable and resilient cloud platforms aligned to enterprise requirements.
Working across cloud networking, routing,



segmentation, security and connectivity where required.
Providing architectural direction across
AWS, Azure and GCP
.
Working closely with engineering teams through
implementation, integration, testing, troubleshooting and handover
.
Leading technical discussions with senior stakeholders and translating complex technical requirements into practical solutions.
Producing clear technical documentation and contributing to architecture standards and best practice.
Supporting automation and Infrastructure as Code using technologies such as
Terraform and Ansible
.

Kubernetes
Container platforms
Cloud security architecture
Zero Trust
What We're Looking For
This is where the role differs from a conventional network engineering position.
We're looking for someone who has spent
8+ years operating at Cloud Solutions Architect / Cloud Architect level
, with a track record of owning complex technical solutions rather than simply administering individual technologies.
You'll ideally have:
8+ years' experience in Cloud Solutions Architecture / Cloud Architecture / Infrastructure Architecture.
Strong hands-on architecture experience across
AWS, Azure and GCP
.
Proven experience designing
multi-cloud and hybrid cloud solutions
.
Solid
HPC / High Performance Computing
experience.
Excellent understanding of enterprise infrastructure and data centre environments.
Strong networking knowledge, particularly
BGP, routing, segmentation and hybrid connectivity
.
Experience with
Cisco SD-WAN / Viptela
is highly desirable.
Solid Terraform and/or Ansible experience.
The ability to move comfortably between
high-level architecture and low-level technical detail
.
Strong stakeholder engagement and technical leadership skills.
Experience taking solutions from
requirements and architecture through to implementation and operational handover
.
If you're a Senior Cloud Solutions Architect whose background is primarily
AWS/Azure/GCP architecture
, I'd like to hear from you.
