Location: Newcastle upon Tyne | Hybrid (3 Days Office / 2 Days Home)
Type: Full-time, Permanent
Overview
An established UK financial services organisation is looking to appoint a Senior Azure Application Architect into a newly created role within its Development function.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of reviewing and evolving an established Azure application estate rather than simply designing greenfield solutions. You'll initially assess a modern Azure native platform, establish its architectural baseline and identify opportunities to improve resilience, security, performance, scalability and cost efficiency.
The remit is expected to expand across the wider application estate, with genuine autonomy to help establish architectural standards, influence longer term technical direction and potentially shape additional architectural capability around you.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the ongoing review and evolution of Azure application architecture
- Assess existing platforms for architectural robustness, resilience and technical risk
- Identify improvements across security, performance, scalability, reliability and cost
- Establish architectural standards, principles and longer term technical direction
- Develop pragmatic remediation plans rather than defaulting to large scale rewrites
- Work across Development, DevOps, Security and Product to implement architectural improvements
- Improve application resilience, observability, monitoring and disaster recovery
- Evaluate new Azure services, AI tooling and engineering technologies against genuine business requirements
- Provide hands on technical leadership across application and platform initiatives
- Develop a longer term architectural roadmap as the wider application estate is assessed
Requirements
- Strong software engineering background, ideally C# and .NET
- Experience designing and supporting cloud based applications and distributed systems
- Strong knowledge of APIs, microservices, integration and cloud native architecture
- Experience assessing and improving existing application estates
- Strong understanding of resilience, availability, disaster recovery and application performance
- Experience identifying architectural risk and translating findings into practical improvement plans
- Strong technical leadership and stakeholder management skills
