• Partner closely with engineering, delivery and product teams to translate architecture into practical, implementable solutions.
• Define technical approaches across both cloud and on-premise environments.
• Provide architectural leadership throughout the full project lifecycle, from discovery and design through to implementation.
• Promote best practices in modern integration, including event-driven architecture, microservices and API-led design.
• Ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture standards, security requirements and business objectives.

• Extensive experience working as a Solution Architect within large-scale enterprise environments.
• Strong expertise in enterprise integration architecture and solution design.
• Hands-on experience with messaging technologies such as IBM MQ, Kafka or similar messaging platforms.
• Strong understanding of Microservices Architecture and Event-Driven Design.
