• Work closely with development and delivery teams to ensure solutions are implemented effectively.

• Contribute to architectural decision-making and ensure solutions follow appropriate security, governance and integration principles.

• Engage with clients and stakeholders throughout the delivery lifecycle.

• Support Agile delivery teams and contribute to planning, refinement and solution definition.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Experience working in a Solution Architect or similar role, ideally within an integration or technology consultancy environment.

• Strong understanding of integration concepts, including:

  • REST/SOAP APIs

  • Messaging patterns

  • Event-driven architecture

• Strong ability to produce clear, structured technical documentation and architecture diagrams using tools such as Lucidchart, Visio or similar.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience working within Agile delivery environments.

The following would be highly advantageous:
