Immediate Start Hybrid Working required - 2 days a week onsite Role Purpose The Technical Architect will provide end-to-end technical leadership across design, architecture, and delivery of modern cloud-based systems. The role focuses on AWS cloud architecture, Java-based services, API-led design, microservices patterns, and schema-driven approaches to ensure high-quality, scalable, resilient digital services. You will work closely with engineering teams, product owners, and delivery leads to define technical direction, set standards, and ensure solutions are secure, maintainable, and aligned to organisational goals. Key Responsibilities Technical Architecture & Solution Design Design end-to-end architectures for cloud-native services built on AWS. Define and document high-level and detailed designs, architectural patterns, and technical specifications. Architect Java-based services using frameworks such as Spring / Spring Boot. Create robust, well-governed API architectures (RESTful, event-driven, synchronous/asynchronous). Lead the design of distributed microservices, ensuring scalability, resilience, observability, and maintainability. Apply schema-driven design principles (e.g., JSON Schema, OpenAPI, AsyncAPI) to ensure consistent and reusable domain models. Cloud & Platform Engineering (AWS) Select and integrate AWS services (EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, ECS/EKS, etc.) based on architectural requirements. Ensure cloud solutions meet organisational standards for cost, performance, security, and operational readiness. Promote Infrastructure-as-Code practices using Terraform / CloudFormation. Guide adoption of serverless and container-based patterns where appropriate. Leadership & Technical Governance Provide technical leadership to engineers, developers, DevOps, and platform teams. Lead architecture reviews, design assurance, and technical direction across multiple teams or projects. Define and maintain engineering and architectural standards, patterns, and best practices. Conduct option evaluations, risk assessments, and make informed technology recommendations. API, Integration & Data Modelling Design API ecosystems including versioning, discovery, governance, throttling, and security. Define schemas, data contracts, and integration patterns for internal and external systems. Promote consistent schema models across teams to enable loose coupling and robust interoperability. Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement Work closely with product managers, delivery managers, business analysts, and engineering leads to translate requirements into technical designs. Communicate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Act as a key point of contact for architectural decision-making. Security, Compliance & Quality Assurance Ensure secure-by-design principles across all solutions.

Guide adoption of serverless and container-based patterns where appropriate. Leadership & Technical Governance Provide technical leadership to engineers, developers, DevOps, and platform teams. Lead architecture reviews, design assurance, and technical direction across multiple teams or projects. Define and maintain engineering and architectural standards, patterns, and best practices. Conduct option evaluations, risk assessments, and make informed technology recommendations. API, Integration & Data Modelling Design API ecosystems including versioning, discovery, governance, throttling, and security. Define schemas, data contracts, and integration patterns for internal and external systems. Promote consistent schema models across teams to enable loose coupling and robust interoperability. Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement Work closely with product managers, delivery managers, business analysts, and engineering leads to translate requirements into technical designs. Communicate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Act as a key point of contact for architectural decision-making. Security, Compliance & Quality Assurance Ensure secure-by-design principles across all solutions. Support threat modelling, risk assessments, and compliance with security and data protection requirements.
