JOB DETAILS
Requirements
- 12+ years in software engineering and architecture, with recent experience as a solution or application architect on large-scale digital platforms.
- Deep expertise in designing distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven architectures, and integration patterns including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and streaming.
- Strong hands-on background in one or more modern stacks, for example Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, or Go, and the ability to reason about trade-offs across them.
- Practical experience architecting for a major cloud platform, AWS, GCP, or Azure, and familiarity with cloud-native services for compute, data, messaging, and identity.
- Sound command of data architecture, including relational and NoSQL stores, event streaming, and patterns for analytics and artificial intelligence or machine learning workloads.
- Working knowledge of DevOps, continuous integration and continuous delivery, containerisation, and infrastructure as code, sufficient to design for operability and to partner closely with platform teams.

- Shape architectures for data and artificial intelligence-enabled products, including agentic and personalisation use cases, real-time data flows, and low-latency serving patterns.
- Partner with client chief technology officers, architects, and product leaders to define target-state architecture, modernisation roadmaps, and build-versus-buy decisions.
- Lead legacy modernisation and re-platforming, decomposing monoliths and defining pragmatic migration paths that minimise disruption to the business.
- Set and govern architecture standards, non-functional requirements, and fitness functions across security, performance, resilience, and cost.
- Provide technical leadership to engineering squads, uplifting engineers through design reviews, pairing, and mentorship.
- Champion the responsible use of artificial intelligence-assisted engineering tools to lift delivery quality and developer productivity.
- Support pre-sales and origination by shaping solutions, sizing effort, and articulating technical value to prospective clients.

- Experience leading architecture on client-facing consulting or product engineering engagements.
- Background in domain-driven design, event storming, and team topologies for large delivery organisations.
- Hands-on experience with artificial intelligence and generative artificial intelligence product patterns, including retrieval, orchestration, and agentic workflows.
