Solutions Architect - London
Job Title: Solutions Architect
Salary: Paying up to £85,000 per annum
Location: Wembley London - 5 days on-site
Are you a hands‑on technical leader with a passion for creating innovative technology solutions? Our client, a well‑established and diversified multinational organisation, is seeking a Solutions Architect to join their team.
Skills
- Experience: Solution Architecture with a clear focus on E‑commerce platforms or API/Middleware ecosystems.
- Technical Stack: Expert-level knowledge of Node.js, Java (Spring Boot), and PostgreSQL – able to read and critique vendor code, not just high-level diagrams.
- Integration Expert: Deep proficiency in API management patterns, Webhook integrations, and Event‑Driven Architecture using Kafka or Azure Event Hubs.
- Legacy‑to‑Cloud: Demonstrable experience migrating legacy monolithic systems into containerised microservices architectures.
- Tooling: Proficient in Visio or LucidChart for architectural modelling; disciplined in Confluence for documentation practices.
Duties
- Blueprint Delivery: Develop high-quality High‑Level Designs (HLDs) and Low‑Level Designs (LLDs) for DTS, EPOS, and other strategic workstreams – to a standard that external vendors are contractually required to match.
- Vendor Governance: Conduct structured audits of vendor‑submitted code and architecture. Enforce 'Stable-by-Design' framework, ensuring external deliverables meet internal quality, security, and scalability thresholds.
- Data Integration Leadership: Orchestrate complex data mapping between legacy IBM iSeries (DB2/RPG) systems and modern API middleware – a technically demanding challenge requiring deep integration expertise.
- Systemic Remediation: Lead deep‑dive investigations into recurring platform failures, error surges, latency anomalies, and data inconsistencies – and deliver long‑term structural remediation, not tactical patches.
- Technical Documentation: Maintain high-quality architecture documentation in Confluence, ensuring designs are versioned, accessible, and transferable to operational teams.
