Our Financial Services client is seeking a senior Cloud Network Architect for an initial six-month engagement (with strong likelihood of extension) to lead the design of inter-cloud connectivity across AWS, Azure and their on-premise data centre.
This is a genuinely architect-level role with real hands-on expectations — HLDs, LLDs, Terraform and CI/CD deliverables, not just slideware. The client has a mature, well-run Cisco/Nexus data centre and a strong in-house engineering team.

- Producing high-quality HLDs and LLDs and seeing them through to deployment
- Reviewing the existing AWS and Azure networking estate, identifying gaps and recommending improvements
- Embedding Terraform and CI/CD into the network deliverables
- Working alongside an experienced in-house Cisco engineering team and Infrastructure Manager
