Job Description:

Join Barclays as a Solution Architect, where you will play a key role in designing, developing, and implementing innovative solutions to complex business challenges. We are seeking someone who is passionate about automation, data engineering and AI. You will design and document intelligent solutions leveraging automation, cloud, and advanced analytics—including LLMs. You’ll architect robust systems and create clear, actionable documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.

Job Responsibility:

Design and development of solutions as products that can evolve, meeting business requirements that align with modern software engineering practices and automated delivery tooling. This includes identification and implementation of the technologies and platforms
Targeted design activities that apply an appropriate workload placement strategy and maximise the benefit of cloud capabilities such as elasticity, serverless, containerisation etc
Best practice designs incorporating security principles (such as defence in depth and reduction of blast radius) that meet the Bank’s resiliency expectations
Solutions that appropriately balance risks and controls to deliver the agreed business and technology value
Adoption of standardised solutions where they fit. If no standard solutions fit, feed into their ongoing evolution where appropriate
Fault finding and performance issues support to operational support teams, leveraging available tooling
Solution design impact assessment in terms of risk, capacity and cost impact, inc. estimation of project change and ongoing run costs
Development of the requisite architecture inputs required to comply with the banks governance processes, including design artefacts required for architecture, privacy, security and records management governance processes

Requirements:

Proficiency in architecting solutions across disparate technologies to solve complex business challenges, while collaborating with various stakeholder groups and influencing their perspectives on technology-driven innovation
Practical experience with one or more SDLC methodologies with the ability to exhibit deep technical understanding conveyed through crisp solution design artefacts and walkthroughs
Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical concepts (both written and verbal) to an extensive and varied set of stakeholders, anticipate objections, and effectively persuade others to adopt the most suitable approach — supported by excellent troubleshooting and analytical abilities

Nice to have:

Application, Infrastructure, or Enterprise Architecture training and certification, such as TOGAF
Extensive experience in system integration, API design, and API management, including architecting enterprise-wide, end-to-end solutions with a strong focus on cloud-based technologies — particularly AWS, though experience with Azure and Google Cloud is also beneficial
Experience in Financial Services or working in a highly regulated environment, particularly within the Cards & Payments domain, as well as familiarity with Scaled Agile frameworks

What we offer:

Competitive holiday allowance
Life assurance
Private medical care
Pension contribution
