Salary: £75,000 - £85,000 + Excellent Benefits

As a Solution Architect, you'll play a pivotal role in defining and delivering technology strategies and roadmaps across enterprise applications and operational support services.

This is a senior individual contributor role which will require team management responsibilities and offers the opportunity to influence at scale and work across a wide range of stakeholders and technologies.

Shape the future of Enterprise AI

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way organisations operate, and at ITH Group we are building the architecture that will power the next generation of intelligent products, services and internal capabilities.

We are looking for an experienced AI Architect who enjoys solving complex technical problems while staying close to delivery. This is a genuinely hands on role where you will design enterprise AI solutions, partner with senior stakeholders across the business and work alongside engineering teams to bring modern AI capabilities into production.

It is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in shaping how AI is adopted, influencing architectural direction and collaborating with talented specialists who are passionate about delivering AI responsibly and at scale.

If you are looking for a role where you can combine deep technical expertise with meaningful business impact, we would love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect Agentic Solutions: Design enterprise cloud applications, specializing in agentic AI platform components (orchestration, memory, tool integration, identity, guardrails, observability) and emerging Agentic Commerce.
• Lead Clients & Drive Growth: Serve as an outward-facing, energetic leader who runs workshops, participates in governance, and collaborates with business streams to identify and shape technical growth opportunities.
• Hands-on Delivery & Mentorship: Remain close to the detail by proving solutions, reviewing code, and mentoring engineering teams to set a high bar for quality, automation, and best practices.

What you'll be doing

• Technical Leadership & Governance: Act as the group's senior authority on complex cloud architectures (esp. AWS serverless). Establish technical governance, design standards, and manage risk, non-functional requirements (NFRs), and technical debt.
• Agentic AI & Commerce Innovation: Design AWS-based agentic AI platforms (orchestration, RAG, memory, guardrails, and MCP). Establish reusable patterns.
• Internal Business Engagement: Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, translate complex concepts, and facilitate technical discovery workshops. Proactively identify, shape, and pitch technical solutions to drive business growth.
• Hands-on Engineering & Delivery: Provide hands-on technical ownership by proving solutions, reviewing code, and designing robust API/integration patterns. Champion a quality-first mindset using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), CI/CD, and automation.
• Capability Building: Mentor engineers and architects, share knowledge on emerging technologies, and raise the overall technical bar across the ITH Group.

What we want from you

• Leadership & Consulting: Senior/Principal architect with experience in NHS/Healthcare, skilled at leading development teams, guiding clients through workshops, and identifying business growth opportunities.
• AWS & Serverless Architecture: Deep hands-on expertise in designing, documenting, and delivering resilient, high-availability enterprise applications on AWS (including serverless patterns and appropriate integration components).
• Agentic AI & Commerce: Strong understanding of building agentic AI platforms on AWS (e.g., Bedrock, orchestrations, RAG, gateways/MCP) and awareness of emerging concepts and standards.
• Software Engineering & API Design: Strong development background (ideally Java/JavaScript) coupled with robust API design, documentation, and versioning experience.
• DevOps & Quality Automation: Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation), CI/CD pipelines, and a strict quality-first mindset (unit testing, automated tooling).
• Communication & Collaboration: Proactive, energetic collaborator with excellent written, verbal, and diagrammatic skills capable of translating complex technical concepts for senior stakeholders
