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.

We're a small and growing team of scientists, engineers, and strategic thinkers who care deeply about impact and believe in getting there with good humour and urgency. Our SaaS products help heavy industry optimise operations in real time, cutting costs and carbon today while building the foundation for the next industrial revolution. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our platform team and help us push the boundaries of what AI can do for the planet. We don't draw a specific line between engineering and research teams. We operate as one cohesive unit, sharing tech stack, knowledge, and objectives. Our focus spans from fundamental ML research to commercial grade software development, offering diverse learning and impact opportunities. Why this role exists Carbon Re is scaling deployments from a handful of sites to dozens of plants per year. Large industrial operators have the biggest decarbonisation potential, but they also have strict security and networking constraints. Until recently, most of our systems lived in our own cloud. Now, we're building the capability to run our workloads effectively in our customers' own environments. We need a Software Engineer with solid cloud architecture experience to help us smash this out of the park. You'll be a senior individual contributor partnering closely with product, ML, and solutions teams. Your main responsibilities Own key platform components across AWS and GCP, shaping architecture for scalable, secure systems. Deploy and operate our workloads inside customer owned cloud accounts, working directly with their IT and infrastructure teams to navigate requirements and constraints. Assist more junior team members with their development, helping them learn core software engineering skills and best practices. Propose and drive improvements to existing systems and pipelines. What a great fit looks like You have deep experience with AWS or GCP (bonus points for both!). You have a solid understanding of cloud networking. You're fluent in Python and Terraform. You have designed or owned CI/CD pipelines for frequent, safe releases. You love collaborating with others and are familiar with agile technical practices, including pair programming, mob programming, and TDD. You balance good engineering practices with pragmatism: you know when "good enough now" beats "perfect later". We're a startup! You are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy owning a problem from discovery to delivery. Bonus points You've worked in industrial, IoT, or similarly complex environments The ways we like to work We are a collaborative team. We regularly and eagerly pair and work through problems together. We love bouncing ideas off each other! We have regular retrospectives to keep getting better as a team. No blame culture: we support each other when things go wrong and always run post mortems so we never make the same mistake twice. You'll get a badge for causing your first production incident We ship fast. We are proud of our CI/CD pipeline and quality gates, and we review our teammates' work quickly. Our small team regularly deploys over a dozen times a day. Yes, we ship on Fridays. We are hooked on observability: we strive to get visibility over all parts of our system to make incident response as painless as possible and to know what needs to improve. In return for your hard work, we'll give you Equity in the company: When we win, you win. You'll get share options, so you're part of our journey from the inside. ️ Flexible working. We trust you to know how and when you work best and to work that out with your team. 30 days of holiday (plus bank holidays). Rest is productive. Take the time you need to recharge. A generous pension scheme. We're planning for the future in more ways than one. Our Operating Principles ️ Go Gig or Go Home: High Bar, All In. What we do matters to humanity, to our customers and to each other. We hold ourselves to an extraordinarily high bar and bring the urgency this mission requires. Concrete Honesty: Be honest. As concrete forms the foundation of our world, genuine honesty and transparency are the bedrock of our culture. Autonomous Ownership: High agency, high ownership. We build systems that take control and make things better. We do the same: see it, own it, drive it. Cement it with Kindness & Fun: Have fun, be kind. We're here to extend Earth's life, but ours is still limited. We want to enjoy the ride. To see these in full, go to Carbon Re's Operating Principles.

About Synextra Synextra is a Microsoft-specialist Managed Service Provider headquartered in Warrington, operating as a premium partner to regulated mid market organisations including law firms, financial services firms, and mortgage lenders. We're deliberately small - around 35 people - because we believe the best outcomes come from technical depth, not headcount. Our AI Services Division is growing fast, building and deploying intelligent solutions for clients across the UK. This is a chance to shape that function from the inside - the architecture, the standards, and the products. The Role You'll drive the technical architecture behind Synextra's AI platform - designing scalable systems, leading technical decisions across the Python and TypeScript stack, and designing solutions that run securely and cost effectively within our Azure estate. This is a hands on role at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI, where your architectural choices directly shape what we ship to clients. Day to day, you'll work across the full delivery lifecycle: designing multi agent orchestration pipelines and RAG patterns on the backend, building performant React frontends that surface AI driven insights, and collaborating with customers, product owners, and infrastructure specialists to integrate generative AI into real business workflows. You'll own end to end technical delivery on our most ambitious projects. This role suits someone who thrives on complex distributed systems problems, stays close to the rapidly evolving AI landscape, and wants genuine autonomy over how things get built. You'll also play a mentorship role - raising the engineering bar across the team and championing Responsible AI practices as we scale. Responsibilities Design scalable, secure, and fault tolerant full stack architectures that seamlessly blend traditional web services with generative AI components, ensuring high availability and resilience across Azure hosted environments Architect complex backend pipelines in Python, incorporating multi agent systems, advanced RAG patterns, and prompt engineering strategies within Azure's enterprise AI ecosystem (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Document Intelligence) Establish and enforce best practices for the TypeScript/React frontend, ensuring a highly performant, accessible, and intuitive user experience for AI driven tooling, including real time streaming interfaces and interactive data visualisations Lead the configuration and optimisation of Azure cloud environments, establishing robust CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps, and ensuring cost optimised use of Azure AI APIs, GPU compute, and container orchestration resources Set the standard for code quality through comprehensive code reviews, technical design documents, and architectural decision records; mentor junior and mid level engineers to grow their capabilities Champion Responsible AI practices including model evaluation, bias monitoring, content filtering, and compliance with data protection regulations; define and maintain guardrails for LLM powered features in production Identifying patterns in recurring issues and engineering permanent solutions Contribute to technical pre sales and client engagements by providing architectural guidance, solution design, and effort estimation for AI driven projects Requirements Essential Technical Skills 6+ years of professional software engineering experience with a track record of architecting and delivering complex applications from concept to production Expert level proficiency in Python for backend services, data pipelines, and AI integration, including frameworks such as FastAPI, Pydantic, and async patterns Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React for building production grade frontends, with solid understanding of state management, performance optimisation, and modern component architectures Deep practical knowledge of integrating and scaling LLM features in production environments, including managing token limits, latency budgets, model grounding, prompt engineering, and structured output parsing Strong understanding of full stack system design principles including API design, microservices architecture, event driven patterns, and distributed caching strategies Comfortable working with AI assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery of production grade code Experience with CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps), containerisation (Docker), and Infrastructure as Code concepts (Terraform preferred) Working familiarity with Azure cloud services - particularly Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Search, and Azure Container Apps - sufficient to design and deploy AI driven solutions within our existing Azure estate Desirable Technical Skills Familiarity with LLMOps pipelines, including model versioning, evaluation frameworks, A/B testing, and automated prompt regression testing Familiarity with multi agent frameworks (e.g. Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph) and document intelligence pipelines for structured data extraction Experience with data engineering tooling such as Microsoft Fabric for building analytics and reporting pipelines Experience implementing secure authentication and authorisation patterns (OAuth 2.0, managed identities) in cloud native applications Familiarity with container orchestration beyond basic Docker (e.g. Kubernetes, AKS) Personal Qualities Strong architectural thinking with the ability to balance pragmatic delivery against long term technical vision; comfortable making and communicating trade off decisions. Genuine passion for mentoring and knowledge sharing; someone who raises the technical bar for the entire team rather than working in isolation. Intellectually curious and self directed; stays current with the rapidly evolving AI and cloud landscape and proactively brings new ideas and approaches to the team. Effective communicator who can translate complex technical concepts for non technical stakeholders and contribute to client facing discussions with clarity and confidence. Preferred Background Degree in Computer Science or a related discipline (or equivalent demonstrable experience in lieu of formal qualifications) Previous experience in an MSP, consultancy, or multi client environment where you delivered solutions across varied industries and technical landscapes
