Technology Architect - Infrastructure Architect; Capacity & Performance, Multi-Platform - Lond

Overview

The Infrastructure Architect will design, optimize, and manage enterprise IT infrastructure across Compute (AIX/Linux, Windows/VMware), Storage, and Network domains with a strong focus on capacity planning, performance engineering, and operational resilience. The role supports large‑scale enterprise environments, ensuring high availability, scalability, and performance across all infrastructure layers.

• Infrastructure Architecture & Design – Define and maintain end‑to‑end architecture across compute, storage, and network; provide scalable, resilient, and secure platform solutions; and ensure alignment with enterprise standards and configuration management practices.
• Capacity Planning & Management – Forecast capacity for compute, storage, and network; analyze trends for CPU, memory, storage IO, and network utilization; recommend and implement capacity optimization; collaborate with application, database, and infrastructure teams.
• Performance Engineering & Optimization – Lead performance analysis and tuning across AIX/Linux/Windows and VMware environments; identify bottlenecks in CPU, memory, disk IO, and network throughput; drive proactive performance improvement initiatives.
• Compute Platform Leadership – Oversee AIX (POWER, LPAR, Power
  
  VC), Windows Server & Active Directory, and VMware infrastructure lifecycle; support OS monitoring, patching, lifecycle management, VM provisioning, decommissioning, and performance tuning.
• Storage & Backup Architecture – Design and manage SAN/NAS storage environments; optimize storage performance (IOPS, throughput, latency); lead backup/recovery strategy and disaster recovery alignment.
• Network Architecture & Integration – Define and review data‑center networking, routing/switching, and connectivity between compute, storage, and application layers; work closely with network architects for performance troubleshooting.
• Monitoring, Automation & Reliability – Implement and enhance monitoring solutions for infrastructure health; drive automation for provisioning, capacity reporting, and performance tuning; improve observability across the infrastructure stack.
• Incident, Problem & Change Management – Lead resolution of complex L2/L3 infrastructure issues; conduct root cause analysis; work within ITIL processes (Incident, Problem, Change).
• Disaster Recovery & High Availability – Design DR/HA solutions for critical infrastructure; validate DR drills and ensure readiness for failover scenarios.

• Compute: IBM AIX (LPAR, Power systems, Power
  
  VC), Linux (RHEL), Windows Server & AD.
• Virtualization: VMware vSphere, ESXi, vCenter, HA, DRS.
• Storage & Backup: SAN/NAS, replication, backup solutions.
• Networking: LAN/WAN, routing/switching, DC networking.
• Monitoring & Tools:
  Infrastructure monitoring, alerting tools, performance tools.
• Functional Expertise:
  Capacity planning & trending, performance analysis & tuning, infrastructure optimization, ITIL process awareness.
• Experience:
  
  10–15+ years in infrastructure architecture/engineering within large enterprise, multi‑DC, hybrid environments.
• Soft Skills:
  
  Strong stakeholder management across storage, network, and apps teams; excellent problem‑solving and analytical skills; ability to lead design discussions and technical governance.
