Cambridge University Press & Assessment
Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge, UK
Job Title: Lead Software Architect
Salary: £68,600 to £91,700
Location: Cambridge, UK – Hybrid
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full time, 35 Hours Per Week
Are you enthusiastic about shaping technology that delivers impact at scale?
As we continue to evolve our digital platforms to support learners, lecturers and researchers around the world, we are looking to appoint an experienced and motivated Lead Software Architect to join our Academic Technology group here at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world‑leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.
This is a fantastic opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping the technical foundations of globally used digital products, ensuring they remain scalable, secure and fit for the future.
About the role
As Lead Software Architect, you will be accountable for owning the software architecture and engineering delivery across a product or platform vertical within our Academic Technology group.
Working at the intersection of solution architecture, product and engineering, you will translate solution designs and product priorities into well‑architected, shippable software, ensuring that technical direction is sound and delivery is sustained from planning through to production and live operation.
You will provide technical leadership across the full engineering lifecycle, including backend and frontend architecture, infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines and operational readiness. While this is not primarily a hands‑on coding role, it requires a strong engineering background and the ability to review code, challenge design decisions, unblock engineers and engage directly where it adds value.
A core aspect of the role is leading the adoption of AI‑enhanced engineering practices. You will shape how teams use AI‑assisted tooling across planning, development and quality assurance, focusing on responsible, practical use that measurably improves delivery quality, throughput and maintainability.
You will work closely with Solution Architects, Product Owners and UX colleagues to ensure requirements are technically feasible, well specified and correctly decomposed, acting as the key technical bridge between solution intent and engineering execution.
Additional responsibilities and accountabilities:
Owning the software architecture for an assigned product or platform area, ensuring solutions support both current delivery and future scalability.
Driving engineering delivery from planning through to production, translating solution designs into implementable engineering plans with clear scope, dependencies and sequencing.
Providing technical leadership and direction to distributed engineering teams, including Far shore, near shore and contract resources.
Removing technical blockers, making pragmatic trade‑off decisions and keeping delivery on track.
Defining and upholding technical standards, patterns and engineering conventions.
Leading the adoption of AI‑assisted software development practices and tooling across engineering teams.
Owning operational readiness, including infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and developer experience.
Evaluating technology and tooling choices, including build‑vs‑buy decisions, with clear and defensible rationale.
This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40-60% of their time collaborating and connecting face-to-face at their dedicated location. Aside from our hybrid principles, other flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment, including other work arrangements should you require adjustments due to a disability or long-term health condition.
About You
As a senior software architecture or engineering leader, you will have a proven record of owning complex platforms or digital products end‑to‑end. You will be confident operating across technical and non‑technical audiences, bringing sound judgement, strong communication skills and a pragmatic approach to decision‑making.
You will have experience translating product and solution designs into engineering delivery, leading distributed teams, and balancing technical quality with delivery pace in complex environments.
If you meet the above minimum requirements, we encourage you to apply.
Your application will be even stronger if you can also demonstrate experience in content platforms, education technology, modern web technology stacks, or introducing new engineering tools and practices.

You'll be working in the Containers, Integration, and Network Connectivity product space, shaping a next generation, ultra low latency , cloud native container platform that underpins real time market data services globally.This is not "keep-the-lights-on" networking - it's hands on engineering where IP routing and network services , cloud native networking , and modern Kubernetes networking (including EKS and Cilium/CNI ) directly impact performance, resilience and how applications connect, scale and operate across hybrid environments.You'll partner closely with architects and product owners to influence platform networking capabilities end to end, while building, automating and evolving the service as code in a highly technical, collaborative engineering culture.As well as a proven technical background, the ideal candidate must be able to participate effectively in multi-functional meetings, clearly articulate sophisticated technical and capabilities, translate business requirements into technical requirements, and ultimately, into outcomes that are fit for purpose and use.

Acting as a Kubernetes production SME, advising on best practice and operational standards. Influencing platform roadmaps through data driven operational insights. WHAT YOU'LL BRING: Strong real world engineering experience (not purely theoretical), with a genuine appetite to learn, experiment and deepen expertise in modern platform and networking technologies. Deep networking fundamentals, including hands on experience with IP routing, traffic flow, latency and network services, and the ability to reason clearly about how connectivity and performance behave across complex, multi layered systems. Proven experience operating or engineering Kubernetes and container platforms in production, with particular focus on networking inside Kubernetes environments - such as CNI (e.g. Cilium), network policies, ingress/egress, and east west traffic patterns. Cloud and hybrid networking experience, ideally within AWS/EKS environments, including familiarity with VPC design, routing, security controls, and on prem to cloud connectivity, and how these choices impact platform performance and resilience. Strong Linux experience (preferably Ubuntu), with confidence troubleshooting systems end to end - particularly in performance sensitive or latency optimised environments. An automation first mindset, with hands on experience using Terraform, Ansible, scripting and Git based workflows to build, configure and manage infrastructure and networking as code. Experience working with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing and modern delivery practices to safely evolve platform and networking capabilities at scale. The ability to diagnose and resolve complex issues across networking, Linux and Kubernetes layers, working collaboratively with platform engineers, vendors and tenant teams. Strong communication skills, including the ability to articulate technical topics clearly to architects, product owners and senior stakeholders, and translate business requirements into practical, network aware platform solutions. Comfort operating in fast paced, evolving environments, where priorities may shift and engineers are expected to take ownership, apply good judgement and deliver high quality outcomes.
