Job description

Solution Architect – SaaS | Lead Architecture Across a Modern Fintech Platform

Salary up to £80,000 p/a

A private, well-backed SaaS provider serving the financial services sector is looking for an experienced Solution Architect to take ownership of architecture across its core platform. This is a strategic and delivery-focused role, ideal for a current Solution Architect who wants to lead cross-functional teams, influence technical direction, and deliver real impact at platform level.

You’ll work closely with product and engineering leadership to define solutions that balance scalability, maintainability, and delivery efficiency — within a cloud-native, Azure-first ecosystem.

• Act as the architectural authority across core platform services, data flows, and client-facing features.
• Lead solution design and technical decision-making on product roadmap initiatives.
• Own architectural consistency across multiple delivery teams, with a focus on quality, performance, and resilience.
• Set standards for engineering practices, system decomposition, and service boundaries.
• Guide the platform engineering function to deliver foundational improvements aligned with architectural goals.
• Collaborate across product, DevOps, QA, and engineering to ensure high-quality delivery.
• Mentor engineers and promote a culture of technical excellence and strategic thinking.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and patterns, providing clear rationale for adoption or avoidance.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong track record in solution architecture roles within complex, software-driven environments.
• Deep knowledge of .NET Core / .NET 6+, C#, and modern backend architectures.
• Expertise in Azure services including App Services, Service Bus, Key Vault, Cosmos DB.
• Extensive experience designing and delivering APIs, microservices, and event-driven systems.
• Skilled in architectural best practices such as domain-driven design, CQRS, and distributed systems thinking.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, containerisation, and cloud-native infrastructure.
• Familiarity with frontend architecture (Angular or similar) and its integration with backend services.
• Solid grounding in data architecture, both SQL and NoSQL; experience with data warehousing and ADF is advantageous.
• Comfortable leading architecture across multiple teams in a fast-moving Agile delivery environment.

What’s on Offer:

• High-trust, flexible working environment (hybrid)
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + birthday and long service leave
• Enhanced pension contributions
• Cycle to work scheme and employee wellbeing initiatives
• Team events, socials, and lifestyle perks

Requirements:

- Although this position can be fully remote, you must be based in the UK and not overseas due to tax requirements.

- This is a full-time position, and applicants must have full right to work in the UK without sponsorship (the company does not hold appropriate licenses).
