The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity to join our growing architecture team. Our exceptional growth means that we are looking for enthusiastic and experienced Technical Architects/Software Architects who are keen to be part of our award winning multi-disciplinary delivery teams, working closely with software engineers, product owners, platform engineers, testers and a variety of other stakeholders.
We want you to bring your experiences and passion for Technical Architecture to help us build best practices and deliver innovative solutions for our clients. You’ll be working across one or two accounts, driving the technical vision for a solution and supporting the teams to ensure we are delivering exceptional digital products.
The projects and technologies you work on will vary by client, but often include things like microservices, containerisation, serverless, service buses, headless CMS, micro front ends, search, chatbots, and other interesting tech. These are mainly cloud-based, with a focus on the Microsoft stack, but we aren’t limited to this. Working with multiple clients over time has the great benefit that you will get to experience a variety of technologies – not to mention ways of working, standards, documentation styles and people – which helps make this an interesting and challenging role.
What We're Seeking
In order to flourish in this role, you’ll need the following:
Ensure all your application information is up to date and in order before applying for this opportunity.
- Experience of architecting solutions through to delivery, with a focus on web-based applications using .NET and front-end technologies
- Ability to lead the architectural vision and delivery by working with engineering teams and external stakeholders
- Experience of designing cloud-based solutions
- Knowledge of modern architectures and practices, such as microservices, containerisation and API-first design
- Experience of working in agile environments
- A solid software engineering background, including knowledge of automated testing, branching and automated deployment
- A working knowledge of infrastructure
This is a hybrid role with the expectation that you will be available onsite for client meetings as required but can otherwise work from one of our offices in Leeds, London or Uppingham once or twice a week or from home as required.
Please note you must currently hold valid UK Right to Work documentation in order to take up this position.
