DV Cleared Data Architects Wanted - AWS / Data Platforms | UK (Hybrid)

£80,000 – £100,000 + bonus + benefits | Bristol / Manchester (hybrid)

Active DV Clearance Required

I'm working with a successful multinational tech consultancy that has secured a number of long-term client programmes and is now looking to bring in several DV Cleared Data Architects to meet that demand.

If you're DV cleared and have built your career on AWS, this is one where that depth gets used properly. You'll be working across a range of secure, high-impact programmes with real ownership over how the data platforms are designed and delivered, not just implementing someone else's blueprint.

What you'll be doing

• Designing full data platforms end-to-end, making sure everything flows properly from ingestion through to consumption
• Working with modern approaches like lakehouse and medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold)
• Defining both batch and streaming pipelines depending on the use case
• Making real decisions around storage, orchestration, governance and security, not just executing a predefined design
• Working closely with clients and stakeholders to translate business problems into practical technical solutions
• Operating in secure, regulated environments where attention to detail and sound judgement matter

Tech environment

• AWS across the board, including S3, Glue, Redshift, Lake Formation and Kinesis
• Databricks and Snowflake running on top of AWS
• Spark and distributed processing frameworks for large-scale data
• Streaming technologies such as Kinesis or Kafka

What they're looking for

• Active DV Clearance, must already be held
• A strong background in Data Architecture with hands-on AWS experience
• Solid understanding of modern data patterns, lakehouse, medallion, streaming
• Experience designing full platforms on AWS, not just individual components
• Comfortable working with clients and stakeholders, not just internal teams
• A practical mindset, someone who makes sensible trade-offs rather than over-engineering

Salary: £80,000 – £100,000 + bonus + benefits

Location: Manchester / Bristol / London (hybrid), 2 days a week in any of their offices
