Solutions architect

About the role

You'll run the first working session, write the architecture, and then build it with the client team rather than handing over a document. This role suits someone who is genuinely senior technically and equally comfortable in front of a CTO.

What you'll do

• Lead discovery: pin the problem, the constraints, and the fastest path to value
• Author the architecture across data, compute, and model layers
• Embed with client teams and ship in their codebase
• Bring patterns back — what you learn on one engagement becomes platform capability

What we're looking for

• 8+ years in software, including significant time as a hands-on architect
• You've modernised a legacy system incrementally, without a rewrite
• Excellent written and verbal communication with technical and executive audiences
• Comfortable with the ambiguity of week one on a new engagement

Nice to have

• Prior consulting or agency experience
• Regulated-industry exposure — finance, healthcare, or energy
