Professional Services - Technical Architect

Remote, United Kingdom
Our take: The real work here is architecting GitLab deployments and migrations for enterprise customers, then leading the delivery from scoping through handoff while writing down what works so others can repeat it.
If you love designing the whole system and then actually standing it up in a customer's cloud with Terraform and Ansible, this role hands you the full lifecycle from scoping to handoff. You will lead migrations that carry real risk, write the delivery kits others reuse, and mentor consultants while staying deep in the technical detail. It suits someone who enjoys being the trusted architect in the room, works well written-first across time zones, and wants their best practices to spread across a whole team.
