The ideal candidate will have proven experience in software engineering and modern integration patterns, along with excellent consulting and collaboration skills. A degree in Computer Science or Information Technology is preferred, and the role offers opportunities for hands-on technical leadership and engineering excellence.

Job Responsibility:

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

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

Requirements:

Proven experience designing and delivering large-scale distributed applications
Strong understanding of cloud architecture on Microsoft Azure (for example: AKS, Functions, API Management, Key Vault, Application Insights)
Solid background in software engineering (ideally .NET) and modern integration patterns (REST, messaging, event-driven)
Strong grasp of security fundamentals, including identity and access management, OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect, secure API design and threat modelling
Ability to translate non-functional requirements (availability, performance, data, operability) into concrete design choices
Experience producing clear architecture artefacts and making decisions traceable (ADRs, C4, sequence diagrams)
Working knowledge of Agile delivery environments and tooling (Azure DevOps/Jira/Confluence, Git, CI/CD)
Experience in a client-facing environment, able to lead workshops and influence senior stakeholders
Clear communicator who can simplify complex topics for mixed audiences
Comfortable working with cross-functional Agile teams, balancing pragmatism with governance
Strong problem-solving mindset and habit of challenging assumptions with evidence
A degree in Computer Science or Information Technology is preferred

Nice to have:

Experience with data platforms (SQL/NoSQL) and integration middleware
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep) and container platforms beyond Azure (for example, OpenShift, AWS, GCP)
Experience integrating enterprise SaaS platforms (for example, SAP S/4HANA, SuccessFactors) and complex identity landscapes
Experience in regulated environments and familiarity with privacy and data protection considerations

Tailored benefits that support your physical, emotional, and financial wellbeing
Continuous growth and development opportunities
Flexible work options
