What the job involves

We are looking for a Solution Architect to help our clients design and deliver modern, scalable and secure digital solutions, primarily on Microsoft technologies
You will combine architecture leadership with client-facing consulting. That means working directly with stakeholders to understand their goals, shaping technical options and trade-offs, and guiding delivery teams to implement the design safely
This role suits someone who enjoys turning ambiguity into clear decisions, can explain technology, and is happy getting close to the code when needed
Lead workshops to clarify business outcomes, constraints and non-functional requirements
Translate requirements into architecture decisions, options, risks and assumptions that stakeholders can sign up to
Collaborate with product, security, data and operations teams to align solution direction and governance
Define target-state architecture and transition approach, including integration, data flows and operating model
Produce and maintain architecture artefacts (C4 diagrams, ADRs, HLD/LLD, API contracts) that are usable by delivery teams
Design resilient, secure and cost-effective cloud solutions on Azure, including identity, networking and observability
Make pragmatic technology choices (build vs buy, patterns, services) and document trade-offs
Support pre-sales and delivery assurance activities, including estimates, risks, assumptions and contributions to Statements of Work
Provide hands-on technical leadership to engineers, unblocking complex problems and coaching leads
Establish and assure engineering standards (CI/CD, testing, code quality, security controls) to support predictable delivery
Track architecture risks and dependencies and communicate clear status to senior stakeholders
