We are looking for early career Hybrid Platform Architects / Systems Engineers that are comfortable providing advice and delivering to senior client technologists across our whole client base but, in particular, this role will be aligned to our well-established National Security team.

National Security
The National Security sector is one of KPMG’s key priority sectors. We are growing our team to meet an ever-increasing demand for our market-leading services and are seeking expertise and experience to join us.

Enterprises, when starting on their modernisation journey, often imagine that they will simplify their environment. The reality for many, however, is that adoption of technologies such as cloud adds additional technologies and capabilities, drives divergence in operating models, often splits business processes across multiple tech stacks in different landing zones and, overall, adds significant complexity to the enterprise estate.

You must help make sense of this new complexity, and be able to tame it through judicious use of both old and new technologies coupled with “hybrid” processes that address the needs of both the legacy and the new platform environments. You will have knowledge of both the traditional enterprise landscape, as well as an appreciation of the major cloud platforms and the opportunities, capabilities and pitfalls they present. You will be responsible for helping KPMG to clarify client problems and assist the development of logical and implementable solutions to those problems through robust analysis.

KPMG has established strong relationships with many of the world's leading Private Equity firms, which continue to hold significant levels of capital available for investment. Private Equity is a key strategic growth channel for KPMG globally, and value creation and portfolio services represent a major opportunity for the firm.

The wider team comprises of specialists with deep expertise across Audit, Tax and Advisory, supporting Private Equity firms and portfolio companies throughout the transaction lifecycle, from transaction to transformation and through transaction again. We operate in a fast-paced, high-profile market, providing an engaging, challenging and rewarding environment. This role is vital to bring the best of KPMG to those Private Equity clients; providing the business solutions they need.

We are a team of 300+ technologists providing technology enablement services and solutions across the Tax and Legal business. This business has 2,500 tax & legal professionals covering multiple disciplines. We serve many thousands of clients and private individuals by providing a modern, market-leading suite of technology solutions that provide an efficient digital experience from routine to complex tax advice depending on client’s situation.

Tax is highlighted frequently as an industry where generative AI will have a significant impact on how services are provided. You will be working as a team at the forefront of navigating that change and redefining the way in which tax is determined in the UK and globally, making sure people and companies pay the right amount of tax with the minimum amount of effort.

The Engineering department is made up of Product Owners, Business Analysts, multi-disciplinary Engineering teams (approximately 160 Software, QA and Cloud Operations engineers) and IT Service delivery professionals working on a large portfolio of systems used to improve productivity and solve key business problems across Tax & Legal. We also build cutting edge web portals for clients to interact with KPMG, maximising collaboration and ensuring seamless delivery of information to our clients.
