  • Review designs, enforce best practices, support Agile/DevSecOps adoption.
  • Identify technical risks and create mitigation strategies.
  • Produce clear architecture documentation and present proposals for approval.
  • Promote new technologies and help embed modern cloud, API, and integration patterns.

Requirements

  • 6-7+ years' experience in Solution Architecture (senior level).
  • Strong cloud background AWS essential, Azure nice to have.
  • Experience with large-scale migrations and modernisation.
  • Strong stakeholder management
  • Background in insurance, engineering, or inspection (beneficial but not essential).
