Technical Architect

The Company

Amber Labs is a partnership of highly skilled consultants and technologists. We specialise in the evolution of Data Engineering, Cloud and Analytics. We focus on delivering value from our client’s data using innovative approaches that reduce risk and delivery time, and that we are constantly improving through R&D.

Amber Labs was founded on three key principles:

1. An employee first internal culture, through diverse investment and exciting opportunities for our team, and a partnership structure ensuring everyone has an opportunity to share in the success of Amber Labs.

2. Persistent analysis to identify opportunities to develop artefacts, accelerators and automation that allow rapid deployment of highly technical solutions to the cloud or on-premises for our clients.

3. Consistent investment into our ADM (Amber Labs Delivery Methodology - underpinned by Agile Methodology) to ensure we maximise velocity, quality and value. With demand for our services from our clients at an all-time high and continuous growth and success within our market sector, we are embarking on a major recruitment drive and keen to recruit a talented Technical Architect to join our project delivery team
