Hands-on Solution Architect/Edinburgh/Hybrid

We are looking for a senior, hands-on solution architect who can:

  • Own end-to-end solution architecture across complex platforms, with real design authority and governance responsibility.

  • Work across Java/J2EE, microservices, APIs/API Gateways, GCP Cloud, TOGAF, and Agile.

  • Collaborate with Product Owners, engineers, and Enterprise/Security/Data/Infrastructure architects.

  • Lead technical design, manage risks/issues, and ensure secure, scalable, resilient, modernised architectures.

  • Provide technical leadership and influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Ideally have banking/payments/core banking exposure, plus tools like Apigee, GKE/Kubernetes, Harness, ArchiMate, BDD/TDD, and AI governance/responsible AI.

Key filter: They don't want just a senior developer, tech lead, or delivery manager - they want someone with clear architectural ownership, design authority, and governance experience.
