What the job involves
- As a Solution Architect, you will be responsible for designing and delivering solutions across one of the UK’s largest AWS-based platforms
- You will collaborate closely with multiple teams to understand their requirements, propose effective solutions, and ensure seamless integration with the broader architecture
- Your role will span three key areas: solution design and delivery, ongoing support, and strategic planning for the long-term evolution of the platform
- You will work with various teams to resolve challenges in solution delivery and incidents, and contribute to the development of strategic initiatives as part of the senior management team’s objectives
- Collaboration with fellow architects is essential, as many solutions will span multiple areas of the platform, and sharing ‘tribal knowledge’ is key to successful delivery
- Work Pattern: Contract
- Clearance - SC
Application process
- Our Talent Acquisition Team will be in touch to advise you on the next steps. We have a two-stage interview process for most of our consultants. In certain cases, we may include a third and final stage, which is a conversation with the company Partners. This will only be considered if deemed necessary
Our take
The future is data. Yet, companies are not equipped with the knowledge and tools to effectively navigate this transition. After realising that many organisations require support on their data maturity journey, Amber Labs was founded to mature a business' capability in the cloud.
The company is made up of highly skilled consultants and technologists to create an IT consulting firm that specialises in the evolution of Data Engineering, Cloud, and Analytics. Amber Labs has a strong founding team and several rounds of seed funding, hence it will be interesting to see whether its approaches can successfully deliver value from client’s data.
