Cloud Architect; On-site

About the job you’re considering

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Architect to join Capgemini's Managed Services business, supporting clients through cloud transformation and the ongoing evolution of complex cloud platforms.

Working within Capgemini's pod-based delivery model, you will act as the Design Authority for your technology domain, providing architectural leadership across live services and strategic initiatives. You'll work closely with engineers, operational teams, and clients to ensure cloud platforms remain secure, resilient, scalable, and aligned to business objectives.

This role will require you to work onsite 5-days per week, without any opportunity for hybrid or home working.

As a senior technical authority for cloud platform, you will contribute to both operational and project-based activities alongside fellow Consultants, Engineers, and Analysts. You will be empowered to:

• Own end-to-end technical delivery of cloud managed services, meeting SLAs and customer outcomes, and acting as authority for change and acceptance into service.
• Provide technical thought-leadership and authority for the service line aligned to your expertise, ensuring architectural integrity, governance, and standards adherence.
• Define, maintain, and govern cloud blueprints, reference architectures, roadmaps, and lifecycle standards.
• Improve platform reliability and performance through SRE principles, automation, and continuous service optimisation.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to clients across live services, service improvements, transitions, and projects.
• Contribute to bids, proposals, and service shaping, ensuring solutions are viable, scalable, and operable.
• Influence, mentor, and guide engineers and stakeholders without formal line management responsibility.
• Ensure services meet security, compliance, resilience, and contractual requirements.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini, striving for equity, diversity and inclusion is part of everyday life, and will be part of your working reality. We have built an inclusive and welcoming environment, for everyone.

A proven track record of acting as a Cloud Architect within a Managed Services environment.

• Experience operating as a Service Line Design Authority within large Managed Services environments, including bids, transitions, and live services, with strong commercial awareness, stakeholder management, and client relationship skills.

• Broad infrastructure knowledge spanning databases (particularly SQL), identity and access management, Single Sign-On (SSO), Windows operating systems, end-user computing technologies, and SaaS platforms.
• Understanding of application deployment and packaging technologies, including Intune and modern endpoint management concepts.
• Strong Dev Ops and automation expertise including Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD pipelines, Git Hub, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes and containerised workloads.
