Systems Architect

Solution Architect — AI-Led Modernisation & Cloud Migration Level Principal Engineer / Solution Architect Function Architecture: AI-led Engineering & Modernisation Location Remote / Hybrid Reports To Programme Director Role Overview You will serve as the Solution Architecture anchor for an AI-led migration programme, responsible for defining the High-Level Solution Architecture (HLSA) for applications migrating from AWS cloud-native ecosystems to Microsoft Azure. Leveraging Claude Code and AI-assisted engineering workflows, you will analyse existing applications, infrastructure, and service integrations to rapidly generate architecture context, migration blueprints, and governance-ready documentation. Your role bridges AI-driven engineering pods and enterprise architecture governance, ensuring the migration approach is technically sound, scalable, secure, and aligned with platform standards. You will define the architectural direction upfront, guide the AI orchestration pods, and take solution designs through the Technical Design Authority (TDA) / Architecture Governance processes. Key Responsibilities AI-Assisted Architecture Discovery

• Use Claude Code and agentic tooling to analyse existing AWS applications, repositories, IaC, and runtime integrations.
• Generate context maps, dependency graphs, and service interaction models of the current architecture.
• Identify cloud-native service dependencies (Lambda, DynamoDB, Step Functions, SNS/SQS, API Gateway, etc.). High-Level Solution Architecture (HLSA)
• Produce migration-ready HLSA artefacts including: ○ Logical Architecture ○ Target Azure Reference Architecture ○ Integration Architecture ○ Security Architecture ○ Data Migration Architecture
• Define AWS → Azure service mapping patterns, including: ○ Lambda → Azure Functions ○ DynamoDB → Cosmos DB ○ Step Functions → Durable Functions ○ EventBridge/SNS/SQS → Event Grid / Service Bus ○ API Gateway → Azure API Management
