• Collaborate with engineers, analysts, and delivery teams to ensure solutions are delivery-ready




• Define and assure non-functional requirements (performance, security, resilience, scalability)




• Provide architectural oversight across delivery and live service environments

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Solution Architect delivering cloud-based services (AWS, Azure, or similar)




• Strong understanding of modern architecture patterns (APIs, integrations, data platforms)




• Experience in public sector or regulated environments




• Interest or early experience in AI / automation integration
