Remote: Hybrid

The Technology Architect – Network, Cloud & Hosting (Compute/Storage) is a hands‑on architecture role within Digital & Technology (D&T;), accountable for defining and governing Customer’s network and hosting architecture foundation, where hosting explicitly includes cloud and on‑prem compute and storage. Reporting into the Technology Domain Architect, the role translates enterprise technology direction and standards into implementable network + hosting architectures that are secure by design, resilient by default, globally consistent and operable at scale. The scope covers architecture across enterprise connectivity and hosting foundations. Networking – example common domains (not exhaustive): LAN / Campus networks (wired access, switching, segmentation) SD‑WAN (policy‑driven routing and optimisation) Cloud networking (VNET/VPC design patterns, hub‑and‑spoke, segmentation) Hybrid connectivity / cloud interconnect (private connectivity patterns) Network observability and telemetry (performance/availability monitoring patterns) On‑prem compute (data centre compute and virtualised compute patterns) Private cloud compute (orchestrated private cloud patterns) Public cloud compute (IaaS compute and cloud compute services) Data protection (backup, snapshot, retention and recovery patterns) The role will cover additional networking and hosting domains as required to support enterprise outcomes, platform convergence and secure, resilient operations. To design and govern a modern, simplified, secure and resilient network and hosting foundation, covering enterprise connectivity plus cloud/on‑prem compute and storage, enabling reliable operations and scalable delivery for Customer’s enterprise platforms and digital products. The Technology Architect – Network, Cloud & Hosting (Compute/Storage) is accountable for:



Defining and evolving reference architectures and standards across network and hosting domains (sample list above is not exhaustive) to reduce fragmentation and accelerate delivery. Providing architecture governance and implementation guidance to delivery and operations teams (design → build → deploy → operate). Modern Network Reference Architecture (All Network Domains) Define and maintain standard architectures across key networking domains (LAN, WAN, SD‑WAN, cloud networking, DDI, cloud interconnect) to enable globally consistent, secure connectivity patterns. Hosting Architecture (Cloud + On‑Prem Compute and Storage) Define and maintain the enterprise hosting architecture covering cloud and on‑prem compute and storage patterns (including virtual machines, container patterns where used, and storage services). Cloud Landing Zone & Environment Standards Define and govern cloud foundation patterns for environment/tenancy separation and shared services so teams can adopt consistent secure defaults. Ensure cloud network and hosting designs remain aligned and enforceable across regions and workloads. Secure‑by‑Design & Resilient‑by‑Default Foundations Ensure network and hosting architectures embed security controls, segmentation and policy alignment points, as well as resilience patterns (availability, failover, recoverability and operational readiness). Partner with Cyber and Operations stakeholders to ensure architectures are operable and support continuity expectations.



Data Protection, Backup and Recovery (Architecture)~ Define architectural standards and patterns for data protection and recovery (backup, snapshot, retention and recovery expectations), ensuring they are designed in from the outset for production‑ready workloads. ~(operations own day‑to‑day execution.)Reduce bespoke site and regional variance where not required and steer towards a small number of strategic patterns and shared services for network and hosting foundations. Work with Domain Architects and platform teams to ensure network and hosting foundations enable end‑to‑end enterprise programmes without creating bottlenecks or one‑off exceptions. A contemporary, standardised network foundation across LAN/WAN/cloud networking/DDI with reduced fragmentation. A clear, consistent hosting foundation for cloud and on‑prem compute and storage, with reusable patterns and reduced bespoke build. Qualifications & experience Demonstrated experience as a Network / Infrastructure / Cloud Architect in complex enterprise environments. Strong understanding across LAN/WAN, SD‑WAN, cloud networking, DDI and enterprise connectivity design. Experience architecting hosting foundations including cloud and on‑prem compute and storage, and defining standard environment patterns. Proven ability to guide delivery and operations teams through architecture governance and implementation decisions. Experience designing cloud landing zones and multi‑region hosting patterns. Deep network architecture capability (routing, segmentation, connectivity, DDI fundamentals) Hosting architecture capability (cloud/on‑prem compute and storage patterns, environment design) Clear communication and ability to influence engineering, security and operations stakeholders
