The Role:

We’re seeking an experienced Solution Architect to design scalable, secure, and efficient technology solutions that support a major systems consolidation and migration programme.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and deliver end-to-end architecture across microservices, APIs, message buses, and hybrid-cloud environments.
• Define architecture, processes, and tools to support scalable delivery
• Embed DevOps pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and cloud- principles into the architecture where applicable.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate requirements into cohesive designs
• Review implementations to ensure compliance with technical standards
• Drive innovation through prototyping and evaluation of emerging technologies

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in Solution Architecture or Solution Design, ideally in environments involving systems consolidation or major technology transformations
• Proficiency in cloud platforms, API development, message buses, DevOps practices, and such as C#, Python, or PHP
• Ability to clearly document and present architecture decisions, trade-offs, and constraints to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Strategic thinker with a collaborative mindset and strong attention to technical detail
