Big Data Platform Architect – AI & Data Infrastructure Lead

This is a hands-on technical leadership role at the heart of our Data & AI delivery practice. As a Big Data Platform Architect, you will be the backbone of enterprise-scale data platforms - ensuring the infrastructure that powers AI models, data pipelines, and analytics tools is stable, scalable, and production-ready.

You will work embedded within client engagements, owning the platform layer that everything else runs on - from AI/ML workloads to data visualisation. If you're the kind of engineer who takes pride in knowing that, this role is built for you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own the platform.Design, build, and maintain enterprise data infrastructure on Red Hat OpenShift - the foundation that tools like Cloud Pak for Data and H2O run on top of.
• Keep the lights on and scale up.Ensure platform stability, security, and performance as workloads and teams grow. When something breaks, you're the person who knows exactly why.
• Automate everything.Build and manage CI/CD pipelines via GitLab so that code changes, deployments, and configurations are tested and released reliably without manual intervention.
• Lead a technical team.Guide and support a team of engineers, making architectural decisions and setting standards for how the platform is built and operated.
• Bridge the gap.Translate complex infrastructure decisions into clear language for client stakeholders, project managers, and non-technical teams.
• Integrate and evolve.Onboard new tools and technologies into the platform ecosystem - including data virtualization, search, and visualization layers - as client needs grow.
