Love solving complex technical problems? Enjoy designing solutions that actually get built?
Our client is looking for a Solution Architect who enjoys working closely with product teams, software engineers and stakeholders to turn ideas into scalable, practical solutions. This isn't a role where you'll spend all day creating PowerPoint diagrams and handing them over. You'll stay involved throughout the delivery journey, helping shape architecture decisions, solving technical challenges and ensuring solutions work in the real world.
You'll be joining a collaborative engineering team developing sophisticated software products where architecture, integration and quality matter.
What you'll be doing
- Design end-to-end software solutions that align with product and business objectives.
- Work with Product Owners, Software Architects and development teams to turn requirements into clear technical designs.
- Break down solution designs into deliverable work packages for engineering teams.
- Define system integrations, APIs and component interactions.
- Identify opportunities to improve existing platforms rather than reinventing them.
- Support delivery teams by providing technical guidance throughout development, testing and implementation.
- Produce architecture documentation, system diagrams and technical design artefacts that are clear, practical and maintainable.
You'll probably have experience as a Solution Architect, Software Architect or Senior Software Engineer who has moved into architecture.
We're interested in people who can demonstrate:
- Experience designing complex software solutions.
- Strong understanding of software architecture and engineering principles.
- Experience with systems integration, APIs and distributed applications.
- Ability to translate business requirements into practical technical solutions.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
- A collaborative approach and willingness to work alongside engineering teams throughout delivery.
- Work on complex technical challenges that have a real impact.
- Be part of a collaborative engineering environment where your ideas are valued.
- Influence architecture decisions from concept through to delivery.
- Join a team that values practical solutions over unnecessary complexity.
- Opportunity to work with modern technologies and contribute to the evolution of an established product.
