Job description

Solutions Architect (Cloud, APIs, Enterprise Systems)

Belfast | Hybrid

MPA are partnering with an elite Canadian tech firm expanding into Belfast to hire a Solutions Architect to design and deliver enterprise-grade cloud and API solutions across mission-critical systems.

This is a high-impact, client-facing role suited to a hands-on architect who can translate complex business requirements into scalable, secure technical solutions.

The Role

You'll operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and client stakeholders - shaping architecture strategy while remaining close to technical delivery.

This is not a purely strategic or advisory position. You'll be actively involved in solution design, technical validation, and guiding engineering teams through execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design scalable end-to-end architectures across cloud, API, and enterprise systems
  • Translate business and product requirements into secure, high-performance solutions
  • Lead technical discovery sessions and stakeholder workshops
  • Develop POCs, architecture documentation, and solution proposals
  • Support delivery teams during critical implementation phases
  • Contribute to technical standards and mentor engineers

Requirements

Do you have experience in TOGAF?, * 8+ years in Solution Architecture, Senior Software Engineering, or Technical Consulting

  • Demonstrated experience designing and deploying complex enterprise systems
  • Deep expertise in at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Strong background in APIs, microservices, and systems integration
  • Solid understanding of enterprise infrastructure, security, and compliance standards
  • Strong stakeholder communication skills
  • Experience in fast-paced, agile environments

Desirable

  • Client-facing or consulting background
  • Experience within fintech, SaaS, or regulated industries
  • Cloud or architecture certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect, TOGAF)
  • Experience in high-growth or scaling tech environments
