  • Build and maintain technology roadmaps by tracking emerging technologies and translating their potential into clear, actionable business direction
  • Translate complex business problems into sound, implementable technical solutions — bridging the gap between strategic intent and engineering execution
  • Identify and mitigate architectural risks related to security, design flaws, and operational resiliency, embedding robust safeguards into every solution
  • Evaluate and recommend compute options, database technologies, platform configurations, and communication infrastructure to optimise system performance and strategic fit
  • Mentor and guide junior architects and engineers, sharing technical expertise to raise the capability of the broader team
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to influence architectural decisions through expert counsel, driving consistency and excellence across the technology function

Requirements

  • 13+ years of experience in IT architecture, systems design, or a closely related engineering discipline
  • Hands-on expertise architecting and deploying complex solutions on public or internal cloud platforms, with a deep understanding of available compute services and design trade-offs
  • Ability to design cloud-native, scalable, and resilient applications applying modern architectural patterns from inception through to production
  • Solid grasp of modern database technologies and data design principles, enabling well-informed architectural choices
  • Sharp analytical thinking with the ability to resolve complex, multi-dimensional technical challenges and assess risk across design, security, and operational dimensions
  • Clear and concise written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to guide, influence, and align stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams, adapt to shifting priorities, and deliver under pressure to tight deadlines

Nice to have

  • A Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience mentoring or leading technical teams in an architecture or senior engineering capacity
  • Familiarity with enterprise technology governance frameworks and how architectural decisions intersect with compliance and risk management

What we offer

  • Strategic influence at scale
  • Access to complex, high-impact engineering challenges across cloud, systems design, and emerging technologies
  • Continuous learning and development
  • A collaborative, cross-functional environment
  • Competitive financial wellbeing package, including compensation and benefits tailored to senior technology professionals
  • Global reach and exposure
