Solutions Architect

🏗️ Solution Architect | Azure | Microservices | Legacy Modernisation £500/day | 3-Month Initial (ext. to 3 years)

This isn't a bid writing role it's about designing what actually gets built.

We're looking for a senior Solution Architect to join a pre sales/RFP team at a critical moment: designing the technical blueprint for a major platform modernisation programme. Your work won't stop at the RFP submission deliverables extend into months 2 and 3, laying the architectural foundations for what follows if (when) the programme is won.

The challenge

You'll be designing a modern, microservices based platform on Azure to replace a deeply embedded, decades old on prem environment. The hard part isn't the cloud stack it's translating complex, legacy laden business processes into a composable, hexagonal architecture without disrupting live operations.

What we're looking for

✅ Strong Azure Integration Services experience

✅ Proven microservices architecture design

✅ Legacy modernisation background monolithic or proprietary to distributed migrations

✅ Comfortable working at pace in a pre sales/RFP environment

✅ Music, media or entertainment sector experience is a plus but strong architecture credentials will always take priority

The detail

📅 Start: Flexible

⏱️ Duration: 3-month initial | scope to extend to 3 years

💰 Rate: Up to £500/day

🔁 Process: 2 stage interview
