Senior Cloud Architect | Edinburgh (Hybrid Working) | Competitive Salary & Great Benefits

Quorum is looking for aSenior Cloud Architect to join our growing team. This is a hands-on, client-facing role where you’ll design, deliver, and assure secure, resilient cloud and hybrid solutions across leading platforms.

You’ll lead technical discovery, define target architectures, and guide delivery teams to ensure solutions are implemented safely, predictably, and cost-effectively. Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in shaping client strategy, improving delivery standards, and mentoring engineers.

Key Responsibilities of the Senior Cloud Architect:

  • Lead technical discovery, translating business goals into scalable cloud and hybrid architectures
  • Support pre-sales and bid activities, shaping solution designs, estimates, and technical approaches
  • Define target architectures, reference patterns, and guardrails (including landing zones)
  • Design security-by-design solutions (IAM, encryption, secrets management, monitoring, policy enforcement)
  • Architect resilient platforms with clear backup, disaster recovery, and operational strategies (RTO/RPO aligned)
  • Enable delivery through Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, and automation best practices
  • Provide architecture assurance—reviewing designs, managing risks, and ensuring alignment to scope, cost, and security
  • Support FinOps practices including cost modelling, tagging strategies, and optimisation
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to continuous improvement and knowledge sharing

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience designing and delivering cloud and hybrid architectures in a consultancy or multi-client environment
  • Strong knowledge of networking, connectivity, and segmentation (including secure ingress/egress and private connectivity)
  • Solid security foundations: IAM, least privilege, encryption, secrets management, and monitoring
  • Experience designing highly available, multi-region architectures with defined disaster recovery strategies
  • Automation-first mindset with Infrastructure as Code, configuration management, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience producing high-quality architecture documentation (HLDs, LLDs, decision records)

Technologies & Environment

You’ll work across a modern cloud ecosystem, including:

  • Public cloud & hybrid platforms
  • Containers/Kubernetes and autoscaling compute
  • Networking (DNS, load balancing, segmentation, private connectivity)
  • Security (IAM, MFA, encryption, policy enforcement)
  • Storage & data services (object/block/file, backup, replication)
  • Automation (IaC, pipelines, scripting)
  • Observability (logging, metrics, tracing, SIEM integration)

Why Join Quorum?

Quorum is an employee-owned IT consultancy, delivering managed services, projects, and professional services to organisations across the public and private sectors.

We offer a highly competitive package and a culture that genuinely supports your growth:

  • Competitive salary
  • Contributory pension & private healthcare

  • Paid home broadband
  • Annual bonus for Microsoft accreditations
  • Personal technical development budget

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
