Solutions Architect

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.

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

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
