Technical Architect

Six Degrees is a leading secure, integrated cloud services provider, where everyone is welcome. We believe success lies in harnessing a truly diverse and inclusive culture.

Our business protects UK organisations with the goal of enabling them to operate effectively and securely in the cloud, by giving them secure platforms to innovate and grow. We support our customers on their digital transformation journey regardless of their maturity. Our vision is to be the UK's number one provider of secure, integrated cloud services to the small to mid-size market.

You will be tasked with creating onboarding and service transition templates to facilitate the effective delivery and ongoing support of these services.

A primary aspect of this role will involve taking ownership of defining the reference architecture for services that will be deployed and managed by Six Degrees, as well as developing artifacts, automation, and documentation.

The Technical Architect will establish processes to ensure the ongoing maintenance of these services, which will include setting monitoring thresholds, implementing scripted checks, and conducting manual evaluations.

To excel as a Technical Architect, it is crucial to possess a solid understanding of Azure, with a preference for candidates who hold Azure Solution Architect Expert and Azure Security Engineer Associate certifications.

Additionally, familiarity with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, strong PowerShell scripting skills, knowledge of CI/CD processes, and experience with GitHub are highly desirable.

Six Degrees is not interested in paying lip-service to diversity and inclusion, and just observing our statutory duties. We work to continually re-affirm our commitment to cultivating a workplace and society that embraces and vigorously defends equity, diversity and inclusion. This includes all aspects of recruitment and employment - our recruitment and selection processes are open and fair, and we will always consider any reasonable adjustments or flexible working requirements. We are also an active member of the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion (ENEI) who support us on this journey.

Our recruitment process: We don't like to have lengthy recruitment processes here at Six Degrees as it's more important for us that you have the opportunity to meet with people you'll work alongside. We will review all of our applications in detail and our Talent Acquisition team will arrange a telephone or video call if your background and experiences fits what we're looking.

All being well, you will be invited to attend a behavioural interview with your line manager and members of the team to talk through your fit for the role in detail and explain more about Six Degrees. Some of our positions are so important to the business that we'll invite you back for a second and final interview, where you'll be asked to complete a role-specific activity. After your final stage in the assessment process, we will confirm the outcome and hopefully welcome you to the Six Degrees family! Apply today at 6dg.co.uk.
