Job description

• Glasgow (Hybrid 3 days on-site)
• Circa £70,000

We're working with one of Scotland's fastest-growing technology businesses as they continue to scale their cloud and infrastructure capability.

What you'll be doing

• Working closely with Sales, Architecture, Delivery and Operations throughout the customer life cycle.
• Acting as the design authority as solutions move into implementation.
• Balancing technical quality with commercial, operational and service considerations.

What we're looking for

• Strong Solution Architecture experience, and the ability to apply a pre-sales lens.
• Broad infrastructure knowledge across compute, storage, networking and resilience.
• Experience owning complex solutions end-to-end rather than focusing on a single technology area.
• Strong customer-facing skills and confidence leading technical discussions.
• Exposure to hybrid/cloud environments, automation or regulated customers would be beneficial.

This is a great opportunity to join a business at a genuinely exciting point in its growth, with significant investment planned and the chance to help shape its technical capability as it scales.
