• Lead cloud architecture design – ideally AWS or GCP, though other platforms are also considered
• Develop and implement AI-driven architecture patterns to add intelligence to our SaaS products
• Work closely with product and engineering teams to translate business needs into solid technical solutions
• Champion technical best practice, mentoring teams and setting standards across projects

What you will bring:

• Strong background designing and delivering distributed systems and microservices
• Solid experience with Microsoft technologies (.NET Core, C#, SQL Server)
• Exposure to AWS or GCP cloud environments
• Understanding of AI/ML integration from an architectural perspective
• Collaborative, pragmatic, and comfortable influencing at all levels
• Passionate about using technology to create positive social impact

What’s on offer

• Investment in technology and training with the opportunity to learn and work alongside some of the best tech talent
• Hybrid working – 3 days a week on-site in the Northwest
• Opportunity to work on products that genuinely improve lives globally
• Supportive, forward-thinking environment with real scope to shape technology direction

If you’re motivated by purpose and want to use your skills to build technology that matters, we’d love to hear from you.
