You'll be responsible for designing and assuring robust, secure, and scalable solutions on AWS - working across cloud migration, integration, data platforms, and enterprise-wide services.

Champion interoperability, open standards, and reusability of cloud services. Produce and maintain high-quality architecture artefacts (solution diagrams, decision logs, reference architectures). Communicate technical decisions, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Required Experience 6-8+ years' experience as a Solutions Architect (or Technical Architect), ideally with NHS or central government programme exposure. Deep hands-on AWS expertise across multiple services and domains (compute, storage, networking, security, monitoring, automation). Proven experience delivering end-to-end cloud solutions in complex, regulated environments. Strong understanding of cloud security and compliance standards (NHS DSPT, GDPR, NCSC principles, ISO27001). Experience with APIs, microservices, event-driven architectures, and data platforms. Skilled in balancing strategic architectural leadership with hands-on delivery guidance. Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to bridge technical and business audiences.
