In this role you will be defining and maintaining architecture artefacts, including HLDs/LLDs, reference architectures, patterns, ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), and reusable templates. Contributing to the design and evolution of a petabyte-scale data platform built on open-source technologies. Evaluate technologies and drive standardisation: assess OSS components and vendors, run PoCs, document trade-offs, and promote reusable patterns to reduce fragmentation. Own the end-to-end solution design for custom-built applications that support our client's cybersecurity ambitions. Provide architecture and design input to software engineering and platform teams to support implementation and delivery. Partner with central architecture and governance teams to ensure solutions align with the client's controls, policies, standards, and guardrails. Help ensure solutions remain compliant, operationally supportable, and within agreed cost boundaries. In order to apply for this role, you must have demonstrable experience designing, deploying, and operating big data platforms at scale. You will have hands-on experience with OSS data ecosystems (e.g., Spark, Trino, Airflow, Apache Superset, and similar technologies).
