Job Description

Our client is going through a large-scale IT transformation. They're looking for an experienced Solution Architect who loves both the big picture and the technical detail, and who wants real impact in a technology leadership role.

What you'll do

  • Design solutions that matter. You'll own end-to-end architecture for key IT initiatives, making sure they're robust, secure and fit for purpose
  • Be the bridge. You'll connect Enterprise Architecture with the delivery teams, turning strategy into solutions that actually get built
  • Team up. You'll work hand in hand with business owners, domain architects and engineers to deliver high-quality results
  • Shape the roadmap. You'll define target architectures and roadmaps for a core business domain, using your hands-on experience
  • Build for reuse. You'll create solution patterns and building blocks that other teams can rely on
  • Share what you know. You'll lead communities of practice, exchange lessons learned with fellow architects and help the architecture practice grow
  • 10+ years in IT, with solid experience as a Solution Architect on large transformation programmes
  • Strong architecture skills: event-driven and service-based architectures, MicroServices, RESTful APIs
  • Agile and DevOps experience at scale, including CI/CD. SAFe knowledge is a nice bonus
  • A Togaf certification, or a similar one
  • Tech you've worked with: .NET, Angular, Azure, Kafka, SQL, BPM/low-code platforms, Mainframe backends and SaaS packages
  • The ability to zoom in and out: you're as comfortable writing a strategy document as solving an implementation challenge
  • A pragmatic mindset: you go for what works, not what looks perfect on paper
  • Autonomy and sharp analytical skills: you break down complex problems across teams and locations and come up with actionable answers
  • Strong communication skills: you can convince project teams and senior management alike
  • A mentor's spirit: you enjoy helping newer architects grow
  • Fluent English
  Nice to have
  • Experience in financial services and its regulatory environment
  • Knowledge of capital markets
  • Familiarity with frameworks like Open Agile Architecture
