Data Architect – Multi-Cloud – Eligible for Security Clearance

Data Architect – Multi-Cloud / Data Platforms – Eligible for Security Clearance

I’m working with a leading Tech Consultancy that have secured a number of long term client projects and are looking for a number of Data Architects to support increased project demand.

It’s a good opportunity if you’re looking to move away from being tied to one system or stack and instead get involved in designing end-to-end data platforms across different environments and industries with the ability to steer your own career.

What you’ll be doing

The role:

* This is an end-to-end architecture role, so you won’t just be focused on one part of the data lifecycle.

* Designing platforms from data ingestion through to consumption, making sure everything flows properly end-to-end

* Working with modern approaches such as lakehouse and medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold)

* Building out both batch and streaming pipelines, depending on the use case

* Making decisions around storage, orchestration, governance and security, rather than just implementing someone else’s design

A big part of the role is also working closely with clients, so you’ll need to be comfortable explaining your thinking and translating business requirements into practical solutions, working with technical and non-technical audiences.

Security Clearance

DV or SC Clearance would be preferred but they are happy to those who are eligible to achieve clearance in the near future (i.e. UK Citizen and lived her for over 5 years, no periods of more than 30 days outside the country in the last 5 years and no more than 6 months out the country in a calendar year).

Tech environment

The environment is multi-cloud, so you’re not restricted to one platform and will be working across different client setups.

Typically, that includes:

* AWS, Azure and GCP depending on the project

* Tools like Databricks, Snowflake and Synapse

* Spark and distributed processing frameworks for large-scale data

* Streaming technologies such as Kafka or Kinesis

You will use your expertise to choose the right tools for the problem, rather than just defaulting to a single stack.

What they’re looking for

They’re looking for people who have experience designing full data platforms and can think beyond just individual components.

That usually means:

* A strong background in data engineering or architecture, with hands-on experience

* A good understanding of modern data patterns like lakehouse, medallion, and streaming

* Someone comfortable working with stakeholders or clients, not just internally

* A practical mindset, where you can make sensible trade-offs rather than over-engineering

Why it’s worth considering

What tends to appeal to people is the variety and level of ownership in the role. You’ll be working on different projects across different industries with the ability to steer your career based on your skills and interests. There’s a good balance between technical work and client interaction an you’ll get exposure to a range of tools, platforms, and approaches

Salary: £100,000 + bonus + good pension

Location: London – Hybrid working 2 days a week in the office or London based client sites.
