Software Architect - JavaScript
Ready to architect platforms that operate at serious scale?
Software Architect - NestJS, NodeJS, Vue - .NET backgrounds welcome
- Manchester (Hybrid - 1-2 days per week onsite)
- Up to £110,000 + benefits
We're partnered with a fast-scaling UK SaaS company building high-performance, data-driven platforms used by commercial teams to better understand and engage their customers.
They're now looking for a Software Architect to shape the next generation of their customer-facing systems; designing scalable, cloud-first solutions capable of handling high data throughput and large data sets.
The Environment
The platform has evolved from a Microsoft / C# / .NET foundation into a modern stack including:
- NestJS, NodeJS, Vue
- Redis, SQL Server & Snowflake
- AWS (cloud-first architecture)
Strong .NET Architects who've worked in modern cloud and micro-services environments, or who can operate confidently across Node/TypeScript ecosystems, are absolutely encouraged to apply.
What matters most is architectural depth, SaaS scalability experience, and strong engineering principles.
The Role
This is ideal for someone who has progressed from hands-on engineering into architecture and still understands what great code and great systems look like.
You'll:
- Design large-scale, high-performance SaaS architectures
- Lead microservices and event-driven design initiatives
- Champion DevOps-aligned architecture patterns
- Work across distributed/offshore teams
- Operate comfortably at both strategic and deep technical levels
- Influence AI architecture and modern data practices
What We're Looking For
- 3-5+ years in a Software Architect role
- Strong engineering background (C#/.NET or modern JS/TS stacks)
- Experience within mature B2B SaaS environments
- Deep knowledge of cloud architecture (ideally AWS)
- Experience with microservices, event-driven systems
- Strong understanding of OLAP, OLTP, ETL & data warehousing
- DevOps-first mindset
- Excellent stakeholder engagement skills
Interested?
If you're an Architect who wants real influence in a scaling SaaS environment - without being boxed into one technology - this is a strong opportunity.
