As a Senior Solution Architect, you will ensure that our architecture enables high-quality outcomes, sound engineering practices, and effective alignment across teams. You will guide architectural decisions, strengthen governance, and support the organisation in adopting a consistent, Azure-ready, and reliable way of working.
Your Responsibilities:
Empower the Architects
-
Act as a cohesive architecture team leader, working collaboratively with other architects to drive change and ensure consistent practices across products/teams and domains.
-
Onboard, mentor, and grow architects by aligning goals, priorities, responsibilities, and expectations.
-
Facilitate team-wide clarity on architectural pillars, decision-making approaches, and governance processes.
-
Promote a strong team identity (“team power”), ensuring architects coordinate effectively, support one another, and operate with a unified vision.
Validate and Shape Technical Designs
-
Validate business requirements from a technical perspective and translate them into actionable, well-reasoned solution designs.
-
While ensure that Group standards are applied, contribute to their evolutions, with innovative proposals
-
Use Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to make decisions explicit, including the rationale and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) considerations.
Define and Steward System-Wide Architecture
-
Contribute to a coherent architecture across teams by defining a clear set of architecture pillars and ensuring they are followed.
-
Maintain updated system documentation, including diagrams, data flows, metadata, and integration views.
-
Promote simplification and ensure architecture decisions support overall strategy, speed of delivery, and maintainability.
Lead Azure Solution Architecture
-
Guide the organisation in designing and building effectively on Azure.
-
Help the organisation choose the right level of abstraction along the cloud spectrum — from flexible IaaS → CaaS → PaaS → FaaS — balancing portability, engineering effort, and delivery speed.
-
Define cloud foundations: governance, identity & access, security-by-design, compliance, cost optimisation, observability, performance, and reliability.
-
Ensure technical choices leverage appropriate Azure services or custom components when justified.
Champion Software Quality and Non-Functional Requirements
-
Define non-functional needs such as performance, scalability, resilience, monitoring, and configuration management.
-
Ensure modern SDLC practices are applied, including secure coding, zero-trust principles, threat modelling, regulatory compliance, and reliability engineering (SRE concepts, SLAs, metrics, resilience patterns).
Collaborate and Communicate Effectively
-
Promote a collaborative, respectful, and supportive culture where architecture empowers teams to do their best work.
-
Work closely with distributed teams and stakeholders to align technical decisions with business priorities.
-
Communicate architecture at multiple levels — from executive summaries to detailed design sessions.
-
Support estimation, planning, and budgeting with clear architectural input.
Serve and Enable the Organization
-
Act as a trusted partner to product owners, developers, tech leads, and stakeholders, helping them make better technical decisions with clarity and confidence.
-
Demonstrate a genuine passion for enabling teams — removing friction, simplifying complexity, and ensuring architecture is a service that supports delivery rather than a barrier.
-
Mentor architects and developers on solution design, architecture patterns, and best practices.
-
Support skills governance by helping identify expertise gaps (e.g., Azure, integration, observability) and promoting training and upskilling initiatives.
Help teams understand decision trade-offs and align on consistent ways of working.
