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.

Integration Lead / Consultant Location: Ipswich Working Pattern: 3 days per week in the office Salary: 90,000 - 100,000 + benefits Type: Permanent The Opportunity We are seeking an experienced Integration Lead / Consultant to play a key role in the rollout and expansion of a strategic Coupa platform within a complex enterprise environment. This is a hands-on role for someone who can lead the design, build, testing and support of integrations between Coupa, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and a broad wider application landscape. As Coupa becomes the organisation's strategic procurement platform, there will be significant integration activity across the estate, including connections into the data lake, reporting platforms, and numerous upstream and downstream systems. This role offers the opportunity to join at the beginning of a major transformation. You will help shape the integration approach, deliver robust solutions, and support the long- term evolution of the platform within a Microsoft-centric ecosystem. Key Responsibilities Lead the design, development and support of integrations between Coupa, Dynamics 365, and a wide range of enterprise applications. Build and maintain scalable, reliable data flows across procurement, finance and operational systems. Develop, test and support integration solutions, including data movement, transformation and validation activities. Ensure Coupa is effectively integrated with the organisation's data lake and broader data architecture. Work with APIs, exposed datasets and system interfaces to enable seamless connectivity across platforms. Support the ongoing expansion of Coupa as a strategic platform, integrating it with both existing and future business systems. Take ownership of integration delivery end-to-end, from technical design through to build, testing, deployment and support. Operate in a highly hands-on way, taking solutions through to completion rather than passing them on to other teams. Align with established integration frameworks, standards and delivery playbooks. Collaborate with data, technology and business teams to ensure integrations are fit for purpose, secure and scalable. Required Experience Proven experience in an Integration Lead, Integration Consultant, or similar hands-on integration delivery role. Strong experience integrating Coupa with enterprise systems. Good understanding of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the wider Microsoft ecosystem. Strong knowledge of data integration, system interfaces, APIs, and enterprise application connectivity. Experience working with Databricks, data lakes and modern cloud-based data environments. Experience of building, testing and supporting integrations in complex environments with multiple interconnected systems. Ability to manage data movement and transformation across a broad systems landscape. Strong understanding of integration best practice across SaaS and COTS platforms. Comfortable working in a lean environment where the role requires direct ownership of delivery. Able to combine technical depth with a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset. Experience with Dynamics 365 Integration Hub or similar Microsoft integration tooling. Exposure to Power BI and downstream reporting/data consumption use cases. Experience with Master Data Management (MDM) concepts and tooling. Knowledge of Profisee or similar MDM platforms. Experience helping to define or operate against integration frameworks, standards or playbooks. Previous experience in large-scale platform rollouts or enterprise transformation programmes. We are looking for someone who is not just technically strong, but genuinely delivery oriented, someone who can design the solution, build it, test it, support it and continuously improve it. This role will suit a strong integration specialist who is comfortable working across data, systems and platforms, and who thrives in an environment where they can make a visible impact.
