● Experience with data platforms, integration patterns, and API-first design (REST, GraphQL, gRPC). 

● Familiarity with CI/CD, DevOps, and Infrastructure-as-Code practices. ● Understanding of security standards, compliance (GDPR, SOC2), and enterprise IT constraints. 

● Ability to design for scalability across global markets and multi-tenant environments. ● Strong knowledge of design systems and front-end frameworks, ensuring alignment between presentation and infrastructure. 

● Experience leading architectural reviews, trade-off analysis, and decision records. ● Ability to mentor teams and establish communities of practice around architecture. ● Awareness of emerging technologies (AI, serverless, edge computing) and their practical application. 

On any given day you might 

● Define architecture blueprints and technical roadmaps for enterprise projects. ● Partner with product owners and business stakeholders to align architecture with strategic goals. 

● Make key technology selection decisions, balancing innovation with long-term maintainability. 

● Review system designs, ensuring alignment with principles of security, scalability, and performance. 

● Support engineering teams with hands-on prototyping and technical problem solving. ● Facilitate architectural reviews and communicate trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences. 

● Collaborate with designers to ensure UI/UX and architecture integrate seamlessly. ● Influence enterprise customers, helping them modernise platforms and adopt composable, headless, or cloud-native approaches. 

● Establish coding standards, architectural patterns, and governance processes. ● Share thought leadership internally and externally, positioning Co. as a trusted Advisor.

You bring 

● 7+ years of software development and architecture experience.
