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.

Engineering plays a very central part in the business. As a company with ambitions to be a world-class API solution for all things tax, we value quality over quantity when building, and we care about creating scalable and maintainable software that our customers and daily users can rely on. Some pointers about our engineering culture: Engineers are given customer problems to solve rather than features to build. We understand the customer's needs before considering implementation details. Engineers are owners of their past, present and future; architecture, tools, coding, testing, deployment, operations and scaling We work in lean, small teams. We co own the product roadmap with product managers We choose collaboration, compassion and trust over individualism and politics We prefer innovation, constant iteration and trust over competition and perfect solutions. We support each other, are kind by nature, and give as much feedback to improve as professionals. We break down complex problems and consistently seek to find the most straightforward solutions. We take quality seriously and factor it into everything we do. We are comfortable with change, either in priorities, goals and deadlines. We see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. We are not satisfied with the status quo and push for change. We seek those looking to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a high growth startup. We ship fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning each step. We are data informed. And are ok with finding the data when it's missing. Our products We have a suite of API products that automate tax related workflows for any internet company. Those products are Lookup, Tax, Returns, Data sharing and E Invoicing. We may discover novel customer needs as we learn and spin up new products as required. Our API docs For you as an engineer, API documentation is probably an important part when considering a new career move. Thanks to the API docs, you can recognise how API works and how it is structured. Please, visit our API documentation and learn more about our API endpoints and how to use them - Our Tech Stack Fonoa has a suite of API products that automate tax related workflows for any internet company. Check them out below: For backend, we use Node and Go For the frontend, we use ReactJS and Typescript For persistence, we use PostgreSQL We use Azure and GCP for our cloud services We manage our infrastructure with Terraform, Kubernetes CRDs, ArgoCD and DataDog. "As an engineer, I follow a product through its lifecycle, from ideation to delivery and support, which gives a lot of exposure to the technology and customer needs. This allows me to learn to improve both myself and the product constantly." - Philip Beel, Engineering Manager. What you will do Learn about how painful it is for companies to handle tax manually, and think about how our products are changing the status quo Own what you build, with the ability to decide how to make it and the responsibility of operating it in the production environment. Build meaningful products with REST APIs that our customers use and depend on for everyday business (finance, operation, tax and developer teams) Build new product features across the stack, from back end business logic implementation to front end customer facing interfaces. Write high quality robust, modular code for frontend and backend Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs as well as internal applications capabilities Record and collate lots and lots of data sets from all these operations for long term storage and future insight Use every learning and observation to improve our products, constantly Understand customer needs and the pain they are experiencing related to tax automation Understand competitive products You would be a great fit if You are fully proficient in English. Written and spoken, we are from around the world, but we work in English. You have a strong sense of ownership, care about what you build, and do the right thing that serves your customers. You're a builder at heart; you like the opportunity of having tons of exposure, making things work for a company long term, and having an entrepreneurial attitude toward anything that comes your way. You are either eager to learn or comfortable scaling and operating large scale microservices in high growth environments. You are proficient in a couple of languages; most of our current codebase is in node.js with Typescript and Go on the backend. We use ReactJS on the front end, but we are not married to any tools; we see them as a means to an end. You like to keep your house tidy and clean, and you just can't leave code not covered with a test. Or a feature undelivered. Or dead code rotting in production. You ship fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning each step. You like to use data over opinions to make decisions. And are ok with finding the data yourself when it's missing. You are comfortable with change, either in priorities, goals and deadlines. You see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. You are also satisfied with challenging the status quo and pushing for change. You want to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a high growth startup. Note: If you feel you don't have the whole experience we're looking for but feel you could be a bit fit and are willing to learn, do apply anyway! We are trying to build a diverse and inclusive team. As part of the recruitment process at Fonoa, we process your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Notice for Job Applicants. This notice explains how and why your data is collected and used, and how you can contact us if you have any concerns.

Build meaningful products with REST APIs that our customers use and depend on for everyday business (finance, operation, tax and developer teams) Build new product features across the stack, from back end business logic implementation to front end customer facing interfaces. Write high quality robust, modular code for frontend and backend Ensure the technical feasibility of UI/UX designs as well as internal applications capabilities Record and collate lots and lots of data sets from all these operations for long term storage and future insight Use every learning and observation to improve our products, constantly Understand customer needs and the pain they are experiencing related to tax automation Understand competitive products You would be a great fit if You are fully proficient in English. Written and spoken, we are from around the world, but we work in English. You have a strong sense of ownership, care about what you build, and do the right thing that serves your customers. You're a builder at heart; you like the opportunity of having tons of exposure, making things work for a company long term, and having an entrepreneurial attitude toward anything that comes your way. You are either eager to learn or comfortable scaling and operating large scale microservices in high growth environments. You are proficient in a couple of languages; most of our current codebase is in node.js with Typescript and Go on the backend. We use ReactJS on the front end, but we are not married to any tools; we see them as a means to an end. You like to keep your house tidy and clean, and you just can't leave code not covered with a test. Or a feature undelivered. Or dead code rotting in production. You ship fast, continuously, and iteratively, learning each step. You like to use data over opinions to make decisions. And are ok with finding the data yourself when it's missing. You are comfortable with change, either in priorities, goals and deadlines. You see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. You are also satisfied with challenging the status quo and pushing for change. You want to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a high growth startup. Note: If you feel you don't have the whole experience we're looking for but feel you could be a bit fit and are willing to learn, do apply anyway! We are trying to build a diverse and inclusive team.
