About
Hybrid – North West
Are you ready to design and shape the core architecture of a platform built to support
global scale , rapid growth, and long-term innovation?
We are at the start of a
major systems transformation
— modernising a mission-critical platform into a
cloud-native, event-driven, high-performance ecosystem . With significant investment and deep technical ambition, this is a chance to build the foundation for the next decade of our engineering evolution.
This is
not just a coding role . We’re seeking a
Software Architect
who combines technical depth with strategic thinking — someone who can
set vision ,
mentor teams , and
lead architectural decision-making
while staying close enough to the code to guide best practice.
What You’ll Do
Define the
architecture, design principles, and technical roadmap
for a highly scalable, distributed platform.
Lead end‑to‑end solution design across
event-driven ,
microservices , and
cloud-native
systems.
Drive the modernisation journey:
.NET to cloud , service boundaries, data flows, operational tooling.
Work hands‑on where required — providing technical leadership, code review, and architectural oversight.
Partner with stakeholders across engineering, product, data and business leadership.
Embed
performance, reliability, observability, and resilience
into system design from day one.
Help shape our evolving use of
AI/ML
for optimisation, automation, and predictive insights.
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience architecting distributed, high‑throughput platforms
in enterprise or scale‑up environments.
Strong technical background with
C# / .NET
and deep understanding of
microservices
and
API design .
Hands‑on experience with
event streaming
and
real‑time data systems
(e.g.,
Kafka ).
Solid database experience (SQL / PostgreSQL / SQL Server).
Experience architecting or migrating systems into
AWS (preferred)
or another major cloud.
Ability to lead, influence, mentor and align cross‑functional engineering teams.
Experience guiding platform modernisation or large‑scale rebuilds.
Exposure to or curiosity about applying
AI/ML
to real‑world engineering problems.
Why Join Us
Hybrid working — choose Manchester or Staffordshire as your primary hub.
Major influence over the architecture and future of a
high‑scale engineering platform .
Opportunity to introduce modern patterns, observability, DevOps, automation, and AI‑driven capabilities.
High autonomy, strong engineering culture, supportive leadership team.
If you’re driven by
architecting for scale , shaping technical strategy, and leading teams toward world‑class engineering delivery, we’d love to speak to you.
