Senior Cloud Infrastructure Architect

Job Title: Senior Infrastructure Architect

Location: Hybrid - Birmingham or London and Home, with travel to client sites as required

Permanent

Our Technology Division has been trusted for over a decade to deliver critical digital projects globally. We handle the entire delivery lifecycle, from business requirements to development, QA, release, and production support.

Every TXP engagement follows robust solution and project governance, and we offer standardised “as a service” solutions where appropriate.

We believe architecture should be business-driven and purposeful. Our team-oriented architecture practice blends various skills, providing the governance, tools, and support needed for success and personal growth. Wide business domain experience is essential for effective architecture, as is a deep technical interest in ‘how things work’ so, even if you are not creating the solution personally, you can help to explain and guide those that are.

The Infrastructure Architect will assist with or lead pre-sales, project delivery, and internal Architecture Practice initiatives. Due to the nature of our work, consultative skills are highly valued, as is the ability to converse with the development team about the intricacies that inevitably arise during implementation.

This role involves a mix of working from home, office visits, and travel to client sites as required.
