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.

Senior Business Applications & Systems Integration Lead Microsoft Platform (Power Platform / Azure) Permanent Warrington (Hybrid - 2 days on-site) £75,000 - £95,000 depending on experience Harvey Nash is proud to be partnered with a fast-growing, people-led construction business that is making a deliberate investment in its internal systems as part of its next phase of growth. Technology is viewed as a core operational enabler - not a side project - and the business is moving away from spreadsheet-heavy processes and disconnected tools towards a joined-up Microsoft platform that genuinely supports how teams work on the ground. This is a practical, operational environment where systems need to work for real workflows, with real consequences. The organisation is seeking a senior, hands-on technical leader to take full ownership of its internal applications and systems integration landscape, and to shape the long-term digital roadmap. This is a heavyweight opportunity offering genuine ownership, autonomy and influence. Why this role exists The business is investing in a foundational internal systems platform to support continued growth and operational scale. This role exists to own that platform end-to-end. You will begin by delivering a bespoke internal application (already scoped and prototyped), before moving into defining and delivering a longer-term digital and systems integration roadmap across the organisation. This is not a delivery-only role, a support role, or a short-term project. It is a hands-on technical leadership position with long-term responsibility and trust. The mission As the Senior Business Applications & Systems Integration Lead you will: Design, build and own core internal business applications Integrate business systems into a coherent, Microsoft-based platform Act as the technical authority for how systems are designed, built and evolved Embed yourself in the business and shape how technology supports day-to-day operations This role suits someone who still enjoys being technically hands-on, but wants real ownership, influence and long-term impact. What you'll be doing Phase 1: Core Application Delivery Build a bespoke internal application supporting labour orders, approvals and CIS processes Translate operational workflows into robust, maintainable systems Own architecture, data models, permissions and long-term design decisions Deliver something that scales - not a short-term prototype Phase 2: Digital Roadmap & Integration Define and lead a joined-up systems integration strategy Design APIs, data flows and automations to reduce manual effort and spreadsheets Influence which systems are integrated, replaced or rationalised Deliver dashboards and reporting underpinned by reliable data Phase 3: Microsoft platform ownership Take ownership of: Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI Azure (Functions, Logic Apps, SQL, identity, storage) Microsoft 365 integrations (SharePoint, Teams, security) Set standards for architecture, documentation and governance Act as the trusted technical voice for senior stakeholders What we're looking for - The Senior Business Applications & Systems Integration Lead must have: Proven experience designing and building custom business applications Strong experience integrating multiple systems via APIs and data flows Deep, hands-on experience across the Microsoft ecosystem (Power Platform & Azure) Senior-level judgement - including knowing what not to build Confidence owning systems independently and standing by technical decisions Ability to explain complex technical choices to non-technical stakeholders Industry background is not important - judgement, ownership and capability are. Why this role stands out Greenfield build followed by genuine long-term evolution Whole-system ownership, not feature-level delivery Microsoft-first strategy with freedom to design properly Direct access to senior decision-makers Low red tape, high autonomy Clear opportunity to progress into more senior technology leadership as the business continues to grow
