Description

The Solutions Architect will provide hands-on design leadership rather than high-level advisory support only and will work across business, technology, data, security and supplier teams, converting current designs into practical implementation artefacts while retaining a clear view of operational support, security, resilience and long-term maintainability.

This is a hybrid with weekly travel to their Oxfordshire head office required.

Candidates must already be UK based and have right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available.

Experience required:

Proven delivery as a Solution Architect on complex Open Banking integration programmes, from discovery through detailed design, implementation assurance and operational handover.

Practical experience of Microsoft Azure and enterprise integration patterns, including APIs, event-driven architecture, orchestration, identity, secrets, observability, retry and error-handling patterns.

Experience integrating third-party SaaS platforms into a regulated enterprise environment.

Ability to design across application, integration, data, cloud, security and operational domains, engaging specialists where required.

Experience producing high-quality HLD, LLD, data-flow, interface, sequence, deployment and architecture decision artefacts that engineering teams can use.

Strong experience reviewing and challenging supplier-produced designs and estimates, with the confidence to act as the technical interface between client and delivery partners.

Sound understanding of cyber security, privacy, data protection, resilience and service acceptance.

Strong stakeholder leadership, facilitation and communication skills, including the ability to explain trade-offs and recommendations to senior non-technical stakeholders
