Job description
At PMY Group, we design and deliver technology that performs when it matters most - live events, major venues, and operationally critical environments where failure isn't an option.
We're looking for a Lead Solutions Architect who combines strong engineering depth with real-world delivery experience. This is not a "slideware" architecture role - you'll stay close to the code, guide teams through complexity, and make decisions that directly impact performance, reliability, and user experience.
You'll work across cloud, data, integration, and application domains, helping shape platforms and products that support event-day operations, customer journeys, and decision-making in real time.
This is a high-trust, client-facing role where your judgement, communication, and ability to translate complexity into practical solutions will be as important as your technical expertise.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Lead delivery, not just design
- Guide engineering teams through end-to-end delivery of complex solutions across cloud, data, and applications
- Stay close to implementation - unblocking teams, making key decisions, and resolving technical challenges in real time
- Step into critical situations to stabilise delivery and maintain momentum
Own architecture that works in the real world
- Make pragmatic architecture decisions that balance scalability, security, and delivery timelines
- Define integration patterns, non-functional requirements, and technical guardrails
- Ensure solutions are not just technically sound, but usable, supportable, and built for long-term value
Be a trusted voice for clients
- Lead technical discussions, workshops, and design sessions with clarity and confidence
- Translate complex concepts into practical recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Build trust by solving real problems and delivering outcomes, not just ideas

- Contribute to reusable patterns, standards, and best practices across the
Requirements
- We're looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on, close to delivery, and accountable for outcomes - not just architecture diagrams.
- A strong technical leader who can operate across architecture and engineering
- Someone comfortable working in client-facing environments and leading technical conversations
- A pragmatic problem-solver who can balance trade-offs between quality, speed, and risk
- Someone who understands that great systems are not just well-built - they're useful, adopted, and trusted by users
- A leader who can bridge the gap between product ambition and engineering reality, * 8+ years' experience in software engineering, technical leadership, or solution delivery roles
- Proven track record delivering complex solutions across cloud, data, integration, or platforms
- Strong hands-on background - able to engage with code, architecture, and delivery detail
- Experience making architecture decisions in live delivery environments
- Solid understanding of modern engineering practices, APIs, cloud platforms, and scalable system design
- Experience working in consulting, systems integration, or client-facing delivery is highly desirable
- Exposure to one or more of: AWS, Azure, GCP, event-driven architecture, DevOps, observability, or platform engineering
- Strong communication skills - able to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders
