DigiTribe - Solution Architect.NET / Azure / Kafka

Context Our client is going through a large-scale IT transformation. They're looking for an experienced Solution Architect who loves both the big picture and the technical detail, and who wants real impact in a technology leadership role.

What you'll do

Design solutions that matter. You'll own end-to-end architecture for key IT initiatives, making sure they're robust, secure and fit for purpose. Be the bridge. You'll connect Enterprise Architecture with the delivery teams, turning strategy into solutions that actually get built. Team up. You'll work hand in hand with business owners, domain architects and engineers to deliver high-quality results. Shape the roadmap. You'll define target architectures and roadmaps for a core business domain, using your hands-on experience. Build for reuse.

You'll create solution patterns and building blocks that other teams can rely on. Share what you know. You'll lead communities of practice, exchange lessons learned with fellow architects and help the architecture practice grow. What you bring 10 years in IT, with solid experience as a Solution Architect on large transformation programmes. Strong architecture skills: event-driven and service-based architectures, microservices, RESTful APIs.

Agile and DevOps experience at scale, including CI/CD. SAFe knowledge is a nice bonus. A TOGAF certification, or a similar one. Tech you've worked with: .NET, Angular, Azure, Kafka, SQL, BPM/low-code platforms, mainframe backends and SaaS packages. The ability to zoom in and out: you're as comfortable writing a strategy document as solving an implementation challenge. A pragmatic mindset: you go for what works, not what looks perfect on paper.

Autonomy and sharp analytical skills: you break down complex problems across teams and locations and come up with actionable answers. Strong communication skills: you can convince project teams and senior management alike. A mentor's spirit: you enjoy helping newer architects grow. Fluent English.

Nice to have

Experience in financial services and its regulatory environment. Knowledge of capital markets. Familiarity with frameworks like Open Agile Architecture.
