We're looking for experienced Senior Technical Leads to own key technology domains and migration workstreams on a major financial services platform modernisation programme, migrating a global VMware estate of 250,000+ VMs to OpenShift.

• Own technical direction, decisions and delivery outcomes
• Drive migration and platform modernisation activity through to completion
• Identify and remove technical blockers, risks and dependencies

• Represent your workstream in governance and technical review forums
• Engage confidently with senior engineers, architects and executive stakeholders

What We’re Looking For

• Strong enterprise infrastructure/server technical knowledge
• Deep experience with large-scale virtualised environments, particularly VMware/vSphere
• Track record leading major migration or platform modernisation workstreams
• Experience owning delivery outcomes, not just advising on them
• Ability to operate independently in large, complex enterprise environments
• Credibility with senior engineers, architects and executive stakeholders
• Comfortable challenging technical decisions and leading experienced engineering teams

Relevant tech: VMware vSphere, Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, platform engineering, compute/x86, networking, storage.
