This hire will play a critical role in defining how data, AI, and large-volume workloads power the future of the platform.
This is not a “maintenance architect” role.
This is a hands-on architectural leadership position shaping the backbone of a high-impact SaaS product.
Your role will involve the following:
🌳 Analysing existing systems against future roadmap requirements
🌳 Defining scalable architectural solutions for high-volume data
🌳 Leading data performance and optimisation initiatives
🌳 Embedding security and privacy-by-design principles
🌳 Delivering and reviewing cloud-native Azure solutions
🌳 Driving architectural change within established codebases
🌳 Supporting how AI and data intelligence integrate into core product workflows

Broader exposure to:
🌳 Search technologies (Lucene, Elastic, NoSQL)
🌳 Azure Cognitive Search
🌳 Data pipelines (Fabric or similar)
🌳 MS SQL views
🌳 Performance optimisation and query tuning
You’ll be comfortable navigating complex data environments and implementing architectural improvements without disrupting delivery momentum.

🎁 What You’ll Get
