Job description
We're looking for a Senior Software Architect with deep expertise in cloud platforms, integration patterns, and DevOps practices.In this role, you will shape the architecture of software platforms, shared services, and CI/CD pipelines that underpin multiple digital products and services.
You'll work across Architecture, Engineering, QA, and wider delivery teams to define standards, establish best‑practice patterns, and ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and operable from day one.
This is a strategic, hands‑on architectural role — not day‑to‑day delivery or backlog ownership — focused on enabling teams to deliver high‑quality software at pace.
Designing and maintaining reference architectures for platforms, integration services and serverless/event-driven solutions.
Producing clear, delivery‑ready architectural artefacts used by Engineering and QA teams.
Leading the design of CI/CD pipeline patterns, including automated build/test/deploy, environment promotion and policy-based quality gates.
Ensuring platforms support testability by default — including automated environment creation and integrated QA workflows.
Providing specialist architectural leadership in Microsoft Azure, particularly Power Platform, Logic Apps, and Azure Functions.
Defining architectural patterns that support both low‑code and pro‑code development.
Applying working knowledge of AWS (e.g. Lambda) where multi‑cloud needs arise.
Ensuring cloud designs meet security, compliance, operational and cost‑efficiency standards.
Acting as a collaborative bridge between Architecture, Engineering, QA, and operations teams.
What We're Looking For
Essential Experience & Skills
Strong track record in cloud-based software and platform architecture (Azure essential; Power Platform/Dynamics highly desirable).
Experience architecting CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks.
Background in integration, APIs, and event-driven architectures.
Practical understanding of Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and cloud-native platform components.
Exposure to AWS services such as Lambda is advantageous.
Ability to translate architectural direction into clear, actionable designs.
Excellent communicator — comfortable with both technical and non‑technical audiences.
Influential and collaborative approach, even without formal line management authority.
