We are a global leader in partnering with companies to transform and manage their business by harnessing the power of technology.

We are looking for experienced and enthusiastic Cloud Infrastructure Architects who can help solve complex business and technical problems while guiding our Customers on their journey to the Cloud.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

Your role

The role will also provide the opportunity to own and deliver Cloud Migration Assessments and Oracle Cloud Solutions across a range of industries. You will be given opportunities to gain exposure to wider Cloud offerings including those across Oracle’s IaaS and PaaS portfolios but also in other public or private clouds where appropriate.
• As a Cloud Infrastructure Architect, you will work closely with our account teams during sales pursuits – this will include leading on client presentations, drafting of RFP/ITT responses, estimating, and also assisting during the contracting process.
• You will obtain an opportunity to work in a leading role managing technical and development leads whilst retaining overall architecture responsibility.
• You will be a Cloud Infrastructure Architect with expertise across the spectrum of modern infrastructure such as Networking, Compute, Storage, Databases, Replication, Containerisation, Event Stream Processing and PaaS deployment, with a focus on Oracle technologies; you may have a background as an SME in one of these areas
• An understanding of modern Cloud-native infrastructure and development practices such as Infrastructure as Code, Configuration Management tooling, DevOps tooling and practices as well as the evolution and operation of CI/CD. You should have an understanding, or working knowledge of Oracle Cloud (OCI), but an understanding of other platforms is.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini building an inclusive future is part of everyday life and will be part of your working reality. We have built a representative and welcoming environment, for everyone.

• Experience of end to end project delivery and the associated implementation methodologies
