- 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).
