- Review supplier proposals against business and technical needs, resolving architecture decisions across public cloud, private cloud and network infrastructure components.
Why This Role Matters
- London Underground wireless infrastructure and datacentre networks support TfL services, with architecture decisions determining how replacement technology integrates into the wider operational environment.
