Description

We're working with a high-performing, technology-led investment firm building out its cloud platform capability.

This is a senior architecture role focused on shaping how AWS is used across a complex, fast-moving engineering environment.

The Role

You'll sit at the intersection of platform, infrastructure, and application teams - helping design and standardise how cloud-native systems are built, deployed, and scaled.

Rather than owning a single system, you'll influence multiple teams by:

1. Defining architecture patterns and best practices
2. Solving common infrastructure and scalability challenges
3. Helping teams move faster without compromising reliability or security
4. Translating business requirements into robust technical designs

You'll also play a key role in evolving the cloud ecosystem - working closely with internal teams and external providers to improve how services are adopted and used.

What You'll Be Working With

1. AWS across infrastructure, networking, and security
2. Compute: EC2, ECS, EKS / Kubernetes, Lambda
3. Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
4. Python or similar scripting for automation

What They're Looking For

1. Strong experience designing AWS-based platforms at scale
2. Deep understanding of cloud infrastructure and compute services
3. Ability to influence engineering teams and drive best practices
4. Experience working across complex, multi-team environments
5. A pragmatic mindset - balancing speed, scalability, and reliability

Why This Role

1. High-impact position with visibility across the business
2. Opportunity to shape how cloud is used at scale
3. Strong engineering culture with real autonomy
4. Work on systems that directly support revenue-generating activities

Additional Notes

Due to the volume of applications, only candidates with relevant commercial AWS architecture experience will be contacted.

At this stage, visa sponsorship and relocation are available if you have prior experience within trading or similar high-performance environments.
