Full Time
6 month contract

BACKGROUND
Our client is undertaking a Cloud Transition Programme (CTP) to move 80 digital services, currently hosted on 1,600 on-premises servers, to Azure and GCP, over a period of around 2 years.
The focus of this role is to work with our various products and platform teams to migrate services to the cloud. This will not be a simple rehosting. We anticipate that some services will be refactored for cloud, others will have elements of replatforming (e.g. shift to open-source technologies). This role will work alongside two others (Cloud Infrastructure Architect and Security Specialist).

As Principal Solutions Architect (Cloud Migration) you will:
1. Lead on developing the migration approach for all product teams, maximising the opportunities to use open-source technologies and optimise the design to gain maximum benefit from the cloud.
2. Develop reusable patterns and processes to enable new products to be rapidly built and deployed into the cloud in a safe and secure way.
3. Lead on technical engagements within the CTP and between the CTP, appointed technical suppliers and various teams to enable that work progresses at-pace and resolve any issues as required.
4. Develop work packages for suppliers to support the migration and associated developments as required.
5. Ensuring services and products are aligned to industry best practice and regulatory and contractual requirements.
6. Enable and promote the use of automation and self-service.
7. Provide technical leadership to operations, infrastructure, and Fin Ops teams to optimise the performance and costs of IT infrastructure.
8. Work on high-profile systems and solutions delivered at the National scale, in line with the organisation's commitment to agile delivery practices and a product-based approach.
9. Be the escalation point for any technical programme issues and champion operational management across the community, working closely with other leaders.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities

1. Oversee the design and development of complex architectural solutions, ensuring technical integrity, consistency, scalability, performance and adherence to standards.
2. Develop and maintain architectural cloud design roadmaps, optimise both cost value and performance efficiency.
3. Develop and communicate cloud architecture principles and standards across the organisation.
4. Support multiple teams, finding and using best practice and emerging technologies, to deliver cloud-based health solutions.
5. Work with security, compliance and operational teams to meet regulatory requirements.
6. Drive innovation and explore emerging technologies, to seek opportunities for digital transformation.
7. Champion best-practice architectural principles and patterns, ensuring our solutions are secure, scalable, resilient, maintainable, and interoperable. Lead governance, solving complex and high-risk issues or delivering architecture design.
