As an AI Technical Architect, you’ll design and deliver production‑grade AI‑enabled and cloud‑native systems across Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments. You’ll operate as a hands‑on technical leader: turning ambiguous client needs into secure, scalable architectures, then building, deploying, and running what you design.

This role suits someone who enjoys the full lifecycle: rapid prototyping, strong engineering fundamentals, infrastructure‑as‑code, and the operational discipline that comes with “you build it, you run it.” You’ll help set the technical patterns Logiq uses for AI delivery, platform engineering, observability, and secure‑by‑default cloud implementations, while leading small engineering teams and supporting clients through delivery and change.

Expect variety: one week you may be shaping a reference architecture and delivery plan; the next you’re implementing CI/CD, shipping a containerised service to AKS/EKS, hardening identity and network controls, and instrumenting logs/metrics/tracing so the system is supportable in the real world.

Logiq’s Architecture Practice brings together highly experienced technologists and IT professionals with a passion for delivering complex solutions that drive tangible uplifts in capability for clients and their users.
We specialise in Enterprise and Solution Architecture, AI Systems Architecture, Systems Engineering, Service Management and Dev Ops, to build highly effective teams tailored to the problem‑space and requirements.

• Develop solutions for complex and unique operating environments
• Adapt leading edge technology solutions for novel and challenging use cases
• Build effective multi‑discipline teams capable of delivering to the highest assurance levels

• Solution Design:
  Develop scalable, secure architectures for cloud and hybrid environments, translating business needs into actionable designs, incorporating security best practices from day one.
• Hands‑On Delivery:
  Prototype, integrate, and deploy solutions using Python, Terraform, Git Hub/Gitlab, docker, Kubernetes and other modern cloud‑native tools.
• Technical Leadership:
  Lead technical delivery teams, mentor junior engineers, and ensure quality across design and implementation.
• System Hardening:
  Implement secure‑by‑design configurations across cloud and hybrid environments, applying hardened baselines, enforcing least privilege access, and ensuring environments are resilient against threats through proactive security controls, monitoring, and continuous optimisation.
• Client Engagement:
  Build trusted relationships, gather requirements, and present solutions that deliver measurable value.
• Continuous Improvement:
  Drive innovation through proof‑of‑concepts, experimentation, and adoption of best practices.
• Winning Work & Market Presence:
  Partner with other members of the Architecture Practice to win new engagements, leading technical bid responses, solutioning, and client‑facing workshops, while building Logiq’s AI capability through IP development, case studies, and internal enablement.

You will collaborate with multi‑disciplinary teams, adapting to various roles within client projects. This is an excellent opportunity to broaden your expertise or specialise further, with Logiq’s support for your professional growth.

Employment is subject to satisfactory BPSS and SC security clearance which requires 5 years continuous UK address history at the point of application. Travel to client sites and Logiq offices will be required.

• Proven experience in solution architecture and…
