Job Title: Lead Cloud Architect

Location: London (Hybrid – 2-3 days onsite)

We’re partnering with a fast-evolving independent software vendor within the Trading Technology space, offering a top-tier SaaS platform built for global capital markets delivering end-to-end solutions for trading.

They are currently undergoing a significant cloud transformation journey. Reporting directly to the CTO, this is a high-impact, strategic role for a Lead Cloud Architect ready to shape and lead the cloud vision.

What you bring to the table:

• Proven experience designing and delivering complex cloud architecture within creative or product-led software organisations (SMEs preferred).
• Expert level knowledge of AWS, IaC, Pipelines, and Containers.
• 10+ years of experience in site reliability engineering, systems engineering, or a related field, with a focus on cloud migration and modernization.
• Deep hands-on knowledge of AWS and tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, and EKS.
• Experience leading cloud strategy and transformation initiatives at scale.
• Strong consultancy-style mindset — able to assess challenges quickly, ask the right questions, and provide clear direction.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead Cloud Strategy: Define and drive a comprehensive hybrid cloud modernisation plan — from assessing the current environment to designing the target architecture and migration roadmap.
• Hybrid Architecture Design: Create scalable, secure hybrid cloud solutions that integrate on-premise infrastructure with cloud services.
• Ensure Reliability: Maintain and enhance the reliability and availability of key systems throughout the transformation.
• Champion Automation & IaC: Promote Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) and best practices in CI/CD to streamline infrastructure, security, and cost control.
• Enable Containerisation & Orchestration: Lead the adoption of container technologies (e.g., Podman) and orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes to improve scalability and flexibility.
• Security & Compliance: Uphold strong security practices and ensure all systems meet compliance standards during and after modernisation.
• Performance & Capacity Planning: Forecast future capacity needs and optimise performance across the hybrid environment.
