⏳ Duration: 3 months
💼 IR35: Inside IR35

This is a great opportunity for an Architect who enjoys getting involved at the early stages of a project, assessing the technology landscape, shaping the direction and recommending the right architectural approach rather than simply delivering against an established blueprint.

What will you be doing?

The role is focused on architecture, assessment and technical direction, rather than hands-on delivery. You'll help establish the pathway for a new solution, assess options, understand technical implications and make clear recommendations.

You'll be involved in:

Shaping the architecture for a new, greenfield digital solution
Assessing and recommending appropriate technology and architectural approaches
Providing the technical pathway from Proof of Concept through to potential production
Evaluating the implications of the migration from Snowflake/Azure towards Databricks
Understanding migration dependencies, risks and potential impact on delivery
Designing and assessing API architecture, which is a key focus of the role
Supporting PoCs and prototypes where required, while primarily providing the architectural direction and roadmap
Translating complex technical considerations into clear recommendations for technical and business stakeholders
Exploring the application of emerging technologies including AI/ML and Digital Twins

What are we looking for?

Strong Solutions Architecture experience, particularly within greenfield environments
Databricks experience - essential
Strong API architecture and design experience
Experience with Azure, ideally alongside Databricks migrations or implementations
Experience working with Snowflake and understanding data platform migration considerations
Strong understanding of modern cloud-native architectures
Proven ability to assess technology options and make clear architectural recommendations
Ability to understand the bigger picture and establish a clear technical pathway
Experience with AI/ML, Digital Twins or other emerging technologies would be highly desirable
Previous energy sector experience would be a strong advantageMicroservices experience is not a key requirement for this role - the focus is much more heavily weighted towards API architecture, Databricks, data platforms and architectural decision-making.

If you're a Solutions Architect who enjoys getting involved early, shaping new solutions and influencing technology direction, I'd love to have a conversation.
