- Embedding security by design, including Entra ID, zero trust, secrets management and network security, alongside resilience, DR, UK GDPR and audit requirements
- Assessing build, buy and SaaS options and making clear recommendations on cost, risk and time to value
- Championing IaC, CI/CD and the Well-Architected Framework, running design reviews and mentoring engineers
- Evaluating emerging technologies, including Azure OpenAI, and ensuring their ethical and compliant use
What you’ll bring
- A software engineering background in NET/C#, with the hands-on credibility to guide engineers through implementation
- Proven experience as a Solution Architect designing and delivering solutions on Microsoft Azure
- Strong knowledge of Azure PaaS and serverless, plus cloud networking, Entra ID and security

- Experience designing for security, resilience and DR in a regulated or data-rich environment
- Experience integrating commercial systems such as CRM, payments, subscriptions or entitlements
