Description

Our Software Architects are the strategic thinkers and technical leaders. They

design, validate, and guide the delivery of enterprise-grade systems that balance

innovation, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Software Architects work at the intersection of business strategy and technical

execution. They collaborate across engineering, product, and design teams to define

architecture blueprints, select technologies, and ensure systems evolve in alignment with

customer goals. Architects are hands-on, often prototyping solutions and coaching

teams, while also trusted to influence executives on technical direction.

Here’s what you should know if you want to be a Software Architect. 

Requirements

The ideal person

● Proven track record in architecting and delivering large-scale, distributed software

systems.

● Expertise in modern architectural patterns: microservices, event-driven systems,

composable commerce, headless architectures.

● Ability to translate business strategy into actionable technical roadmaps and system

designs.

● Strong leadership skills: guiding engineering teams, mentoring individuals, and

setting technical standards.

● Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, from engineers to C-

level.

● Commitment to designing systems that are secure, performant, and cost-efficient.

Desirable Skills

● Deep experience with multiple programming languages and frameworks (e.g.,

● JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, Java, .NET, Python).

● Strong knowledge of cloud-native architectures (AWS, GCP, Azure) and

containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).

● Experience with data platforms, integration patterns, and API-first design (REST,

GraphQL, gRPC).

● Familiarity with CI/CD, DevOps, and Infrastructure-as-Code practices.

● Understanding of security standards, compliance (GDPR, SOC2), and enterprise IT

constraints.

● Ability to design for scalability across global markets and multi-tenant environments.

● Strong knowledge of design systems and front-end frameworks, ensuring alignment

between presentation and infrastructure.

● Experience leading architectural reviews, trade-off analysis, and decision records.

● Ability to mentor teams and establish communities of practice around architecture.

● Awareness of emerging technologies (AI, serverless, edge computing) and their

practical application.

On any given day you might

● Define architecture blueprints and technical roadmaps for enterprise projects.

● Partner with product owners and business stakeholders to align architecture with

strategic goals.

● Make key technology selection decisions, balancing innovation with long-term

maintainability.

● Review system designs, ensuring alignment with principles of security, scalability,

and performance.

● Support engineering teams with hands-on prototyping and technical problem solving.

● Facilitate architectural reviews and communicate trade-offs to both technical and

non-technical audiences.

● Collaborate with designers to ensure UI/UX and architecture integrate seamlessly.

● Influence enterprise customers, helping them modernise platforms and adopt

composable, headless, or cloud-native approaches.

● Establish coding standards, architectural patterns, and governance processes.

● Share thought leadership internally and externally, positioning
