You will work across product and platform boundaries, providing the architectural clarity, shared patterns, and strategic direction that connects engineering decisions to business outcomes.
You'll bring structure to complexity, help teams navigate trade-offs, and build the architectural capability that lets the organisation move faster with confidence.
Your key responsibilities:
Define and evolve architecture strategy, reference models, and target states across the CPaaS platform
Shape technology direction through standardisation, simplification, and platform investments
Drive architecture governance (reviews, ADRs, Well-Architected practices)
Partner with engineering and product leaders to translate business needs into scalable solutions
Provide hands‑on support in solving complex architectural challenges
Communicate architectural vision and decisions to both technical and business stakeholders
Mentor engineers and architects while contributing to internal communities and best practices
What you'll bring Required:
Demonstrable skills and experience in a senior architecture role with scope across multiple teams, products, or shared platforms
Demonstrable experience of leveraging architectural practice to steer and deliver measurable business value and reduce unnecessary costs.
Deep expertise in cloud‑native and distributed systems architectures, ideally on AWS
Strong experience with SaaS, API‑based, and developer‑facing platforms — CPaaS or communications domain experience is a plus
Proficiency across modern technologies and practices: microservices, Kubernetes, event‑driven architectures (Kafka), CI/CD, DevSecOps, and Infrastructure as Code
Proven ability to apply structured architectural techniques — capability mapping, ADRs, C4 diagrams, in practical, proportionate ways
Exceptional communication and influencing skills, with the ability to align stakeholders and drive decisions without formal authority
Experience balancing architectural consistency with team autonomy in fast‑moving, agile engineering organisations
Knowledge of communications protocols (e.g. SMS/RCS, WebRTC, SIP)
Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g. TOGAF, Zachman)
AWS, Kubernetes, or related cloud certifications
Knowledge and experience of working within an Agile methodology.
