• Build scalable architectures for highly classified environments
• Turn mission requirements into solutions that can be delivered
• Lead engineering teams through implementation
• Shape long-term architecture and platform strategy

AWS, Azure, GCP · Databricks, Snowflake · Lake, lakehouse and modern warehouse architectures · Distributed processing · DevOps, IaC and secure deployment · Governance, access control and analytics

**What we're looking for**

• Active DV clearance
• Proven delivery of enterprise-scale data platforms
• Defence, national security or secure government experience
• Deep cloud data architecture and secure design skills
• Confident with senior technical and business stakeholders
• Track record leading teams through complex delivery

**Why it matters**

Here, data architecture directly shapes operational capability. Real security constraints. Platforms that have to work when it counts.
