Enterprise Architect - Research Computing and Scientific Platforms

We're looking for an experienced Solution Architect to help shape the future technology landscape of a major scientific research organisation. You'll work across research computing, scientific applications, infrastructure, integration, data and security, translating research requirements and technology strategy into scalable technical solutions. The environment includes highly specialised scientific workloads and research platforms, so we're particularly interested in architects who have worked beyond traditional enterprise IT. What you'll be doing

• Defining future-state architecture for scientific and research-computing platforms
• Translating strategic requirements into detailed technical designs
• Producing architectural blueprints and implementation plans
• Assessing existing platforms and identifying architectural gaps
• Designing solutions spanning applications, infrastructure, integration, data and security
• Defining data flows and integration architecture
• Supporting technology roadmap development
• Providing architectural leadership throughout implementation
• Working closely with developers, infrastructure engineers, scientists and senior technical stakeholders
• Ensuring solutions are scalable, secure and appropriate for demanding research workloads What we're looking for You'll have strong Solution or Enterprise Architecture experience combined with exposure to complex technical environments. Experience across several of the following would be particularly valuable: HPC / High Performance Computing, Research Computing, Scientific Computing, Research Infrastructure, Linux, Kubernetes, OpenStack, GPU computing, scientific applications, research data, bioinformatics, genomics, scientific imaging, OMERO or cryo-EM. Experience within life sciences, pharmaceutical R&D, academic research, national research facilities or scientific computing would be particularly attractive. Sector: Life Sciences / Scientific Research / Research Computing You should be equally comfortable discussing architecture with senior technology leaders and getting into sufficient technical detail with engineers and scientific teams.
