I'm supporting a growing digital consultancy that delivers complex digital transformation programmes across both public and private sector clients. They're looking to hire a Lead Technical Architect to provide technical leadership across multiple engagements, shape architecture strategy, and act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders. This role is ideal for someone who started their career as a Software Engineer, progressed into Technical Architecture, and has since taken on technical leadership responsibilities across teams, clients and large-scale delivery programmes.
The role: You'll be responsible for defining architectural direction, leading technical decision-making, and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable and cloud‑native. You'll work closely with both delivery teams and client stakeholders, helping organisations modernise their technology platforms and achieve their digital transformation goals. Alongside client delivery, you'll mentor other architects and senior engineers, contribute to technical strategy, and support business development and pre‑sales activities.
What we're looking for:
- Strong Software Engineering background
- Experience operating as a Technical Architect on complex digital programmes
- Technical leadership experience, including mentoring and developing engineers or architects
- Expertise across cloud‑native technologies and modern architecture practices
- Experience with AWS, Azure and/or GCP
- Strong understanding of Kubernetes, containers and CI/CD
- Terraform and Infrastructure as Code experience
- Consultancy experience would be highly advantageous
Nice to have:
- Public sector transformation experience
- Experience supporting bids, proposals or pre‑sales activities
- Involvement in technical communities, events or thought leadership
