£750 Per Day, Inside IR35, 12 Month Contract, To Start ASAPBased near Reading (3-4 DAYS ONSITE INITIALLY)Your new company We are a nationally significant scientific and engineering organisation operating within one of the most complex technical environments in the UK. As part of our long-term digital modernisation, we are moving away from legacy monolithic applications and establishing a cloud-based, service-oriented ecosystem. This shift is essential to supporting the future of our experimental workflows, data services and operational capabilities. As the transition progresses, a major challenge has emerged, while the services now exist in the cloud, they have not yet been shaped into a coherent, well-designed service architecture. Interoperability, service boundaries, communication patterns and data flow design all require firm direction. We are now looking for a Software Architect with deep SOA expertise to define the foundations of this environment, set the standards and guide our teams toward a mature, scalable and future-proof architecture. Your new role This is a role for an architect who is passionate about Service-Oriented Architecture and has the experience to turn a fragmented system landscape into a unified distributed ecosystem. You will begin by gaining a deep understanding of the current architecture, identifying how services have been implemented, how they interact and where legacy monolithic behaviours are still influencing design. You will explore architectural gaps, risks and technical debt, forming a clear view of the changes needed to achieve a consistent, interoperable service environment. Your focus will be on shaping and maturing the organisation's SOA. You will define how services communicate, how data moves across the environment and how service boundaries should be drawn. You will determine whether a message bus or event driven architecture is appropriate, and you will examine the complex mix of real-time, configuration and scientific data to establish reliable and predictable data flow patterns. Throughout the assignment, you will develop the next level of architectural detail, diagrams, logical models, communication patterns, service contracts, API standards and integration principles. You will work closely with engineers, product teams and scientific stakeholders to ensure every service is aligned to SOA best practice and built on a foundation of scalability, clarity and long-term sustainability. Your ability to challenge assumptions, lead architectural conversations and provide clear direction will be central to moving the organisation confidently into a service-oriented future. What you'll need to succeed You are an experienced Architect with a track record of designing and governing service-oriented or microservice-based systems. You understand distributed system design, messaging, data interoperability and the practical realities of breaking down monolithic patterns. You are comfortable evaluating communication protocols, establishing service contracts, defining service boundaries and designing integration approaches that balance performance, resilience and maintainability. You are equally confident guiding development teams, influencing stakeholders and navigating environments where the architectural direction is not yet fully defined. What you'll get in return Alongside a competitive daily rate, you will have the opportunity to shape the architectural foundation of one of the UK's most advanced scientific and engineering environments. Your work will influence how services communicate, how data flows, how systems grow and how the organisation evolves technically for years to come. You will be part of a forward thinking, engineering-focused culture where your architectural leadership will have both immediate impact and long term strategic importance. What you need to do now If you're interested in this role, click 'apply now' to forward an up-to-date copy of your CV, or call us now.

About Our Client Our client is an innovative AI-powered brand analytics platform that helps businesses understand their brand perception, competitive landscape, and market positioning through advanced AI-driven analysis. They leverage multiple Large Language Models to deliver actionable insights that enable brands to optimize their visibility and competitive positioning in the market. The platform runs a production multi-agent system on AWS, orchestrating multiple AI providers across signal generation, content, and research workflows, and is exposed to clients through their own MCP server. What We're Looking For We are seeking an AI Engineer to help shape the technical direction of the AI platform. You will design and evolve the agentic systems that power this solution - multi-agent orchestration, LLM pipelines, evals, and the cloud infrastructure that runs them. You should be hands-on, opinionated about how AI systems should be built, and excited to set the bar for an engineering team that ships AI features fast and safely. We value engineers who actively use AI agents and automation tools in their own workflows and stay current with the field as it moves. Key Responsibilities 1. Agentic AI Systems Design, build, and evolve multi-agent systems and LLM-powered pipelines. You will: Design agent topologies - planner/executor, supervisor/worker, reflection loops, human-in-the-loop Build and extend agents using frameworks like LangGraph, Strands, and Agent SDKs Evolve the agent harness - execution loop, tool dispatch, context management, sub-agent spawning, and sandboxing Design agent memory, context management, and tool-calling patterns Extend the MCP server with new tools and capabilities Enforce structured outputs and validation across LLM boundaries 2. LLM Quality, Evals & Observability Build the layer that lets the team ship LLM features with confidence. You will: Design and grow the eval platform - golden datasets, regression suites, LLM-as-judge Integrate observability and tracing across providers and prompt versions Track cost, latency, and quality per prompt, model, and client Build guardrails for prompt injection, PII, and output safety Drive prompt engineering practice - versioning, A/B testing, platform overlays 3. Cloud & Data Infrastructure Own the cloud substrate that runs the AI workloads. You will: Architect and maintain AWS infrastructure (ECS Fargate, Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, S3, Athena, DynamoDB, Bedrock) Build and operate data pipelines that move LLM outputs from generation to analytics Manage containerized deployments, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code Ensure reliability, observability, and cost efficiency across the platform 4. Security, Compliance & AI Safety Implement IAM, encryption, and network security best practices Manage secrets and audit logging Enforce multi-tenant isolation across agents, prompts, and data Defend against prompt injection, jailbreaks, and PII leakage 5. Technical Leadership Set technical direction for the AI platform and drive architecture decisions Make build-vs-buy calls on frameworks, providers, and tooling Mentor engineers and raise the bar on prompts, evals, and agent design Collaborate with product to translate business goals into AI system architecture What Makes This Role Unique You will work on a production multi-agent platform with real scale and real users - multi-specialist agent systems, LLM pipelines, and a multi-provider stack running on AWS. The interesting problems are not bootstrapping; they are deciding what good looks like and building the systems that get you there.
