## About the Role

There comes a time in every developers career where they need to make a decision - do they go into management... or architecture? If architecture is where you're looking to get it or have already ventured to it, then one of London's leading SaaS companies may have the role you're looking for. You'll be joining an established architecture team, responsible for designing and improving the company's main platform as they continue to scale, ensuring their application structure supports long term growth. This is all about staying one step ahead of the business, focusing on reliability, and upgradability, while working with engineering teams to put your designs into action. You will have come from a development background, ideally in either Python or Ruby, and have worked consistently in cloud environments with AWS or GCP. Experience with domain driven design (DDD) and test driven development (TDD) is also important, alongside a desire to help others understand and not just build the solution
yourself. If you're a tech lead or senior developer looking for a jump to architecture, or an established architect wanting to be part of something special, apply below and I look forward to speaking with you!
