Description:
Contract Cloud Architect
6-Month Contract | SC Clearance (Current, Lapsed or Eligible)
Hybrid working (2 days p/week onsite near Cardiff for the first month then 1 day onsite p/month thereafter)
Rates are tight at £300 - £400 p/day (ideally closer to the £300 mark) but this has been determined as Outside IR35 if that helps (we can still pay through an umbrella of course if you prefer that)
We're looking for an experienced Cloud Architect to join a major cloud transformation programme. The team has lost a few key permanent personnel recently and they have several large Cloud projects starting.
You'll play a key role in designing and delivering secure, scalable cloud infrastructure, helping shape Azure environments using modern cloud engineering practices.
You'll need experience with:
Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF)
Azure cloud architecture and infrastructure
Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
DevOps practices for deploying cloud infrastructure and application artefacts
Azure DevOps or similar CI/CD tooling
Azure is the primary cloud platform, although AWS exposure would be beneficial
Ideally you'll have:
Current SC Clearance would be ideal, recently lapsed SC is fine, or you must be eligible and willing to undergo SC/MV clearance
Experience working within secure or regulated environments
Strong stakeholder communication skills
Contract Length: 6 months initially, with likely extensions
Location: Mainly remote with occasional travel to Cardiff
