We’re hiring a Digital Solution Architect to lead the technical vision of a multi-year digital transformation programme for a large international enterprise. This is a high-impact role where you’ll work closely with product squads and executive sponsors to design, govern, and evangelise Azure-first, microservices-based solutions.

• Promote DevOps, GitOps, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Bicep); champion automated testing and blue/green deployments.
• Facilitate architecture workshops with C-suite, product owners, and delivery teams; provide technical governance across sprints and releases.
• Mentor engineers and junior architects; share best practices through internal guilds and knowledge-sharing sessions.

Skills & Experience

• Proven experience designing cloud-native, event-driven systems on Microsoft Azure for large-scale enterprises (5k+ users, multi-region).
• Strong background in containerisation and modern API management.
• Deep understanding of software architecture (DDD, REST/GraphQL, messaging), infrastructure, networking, and security.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex concepts and inspire cross-functional teams.

Desirable:

• Familiarity with Zero-Trust security, DevSecOps, and FinOps.
• Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect or DevOps Expert.
• Experience with AKS or other orchestration platforms.

This is a rare opportunity to lead from the front in a transformative programme, working with cutting-edge technologies and global stakeholders. If you're ready to make a strategic impact, we’d love to hear from you.
