Principal Solution Architect Manchester – Hybrid (2 Days Per Week) Occasional Birmingham Travel Up to £100,000 Base + £6,300 Car Allowance + 20% Bonus The Opportunity This is a rare opportunity to join our client - a major enterprise SaaS organisation at a pivotal stage of modernisation and growth. The business operates a suite of highly scaled digital platforms used across multiple international markets, supporting millions of transactions, complex integrations, and mission-critical customer journeys every single day. Their technology estate is extensive, their ambitions are significant, and architecture sits at the centre of that transformation. As Solution Architect, you will play a key role in shaping the future technical direction of several enterprise-grade platforms, working closely with engineering, product, and senior technology leadership to define scalable, modern, cloud-native solutions capable of supporting long-term commercial growth. This is not a governance-only architecture role. The environment demands somebody capable of operating strategically while remaining technically credible and close to engineering teams. The successful person will influence architecture decisions across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, integrations, APIs, and modern software delivery practices while helping teams solve genuinely complex technical problems at scale. The organisation is investing heavily in platform evolution, engineering maturity, customer experience, and operational scalability. Architecture is viewed internally as a business-critical capability rather than a support function. Why This Role Stands Out You will be joining a business where architecture has genuine visibility and influence. The engineering landscape includes modern cloud-native platforms, high-volume transactional systems, large-scale integrations, distributed services, and evolving product ecosystems across multiple business domains. You will work directly with senior technology leaders and high-performing engineering teams to: • Define enterprise architecture strategies aligned to long-term business goals, • Shape cloud-native application and platform design, • Drive modern engineering standards and architectural governance, • Influence API, integration, and event-driven architecture strategies, • Support scalability, resilience, performance, and security initiatives, • Guide engineering teams through architectural challenges and modernisation efforts, • Partner closely with product and delivery functions to align technical direction with commercial priorities, • Evaluate emerging technologies and identify opportunities for innovation and optimisation, • Contribute to technical roadmaps spanning multiple product platforms and customer journeys This role offers the opportunity to influence systems that operate at genuine enterprise scale while still remaining close enough to delivery teams to see architectural decisions translate into real-world impact. Technology Environment The broader technology landscape includes: • .NET / C#, • AWS cloud infrastructure, • Microservices and distributed systems, • API-first architecture, • Event-driven systems, • Kubernetes and containerisation, • CI/CD and modern DevOps practices, • Enterprise integration platforms, • High-availability SaaS environments What They Are Looking For The business is looking for a technically credible architect who combines strategic thinking with practical engineering understanding. You will likely come from a strong software engineering or technical leadership background before moving into architecture and will feel comfortable operating in complex enterprise SaaS environments. The ideal profile will demonstrate: • Strong experience designing scalable enterprise SaaS solutions, • Excellent understanding of cloud-native architecture principles, • Experience working within modern distributed systems environments, • Ability to influence engineering teams and senior stakeholders alike, • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement capability, • Commercial awareness and understanding of how architecture impacts business outcomes, • Passion for modern engineering practices and continuous improvement, • Ability to balance strategic direction with pragmatic delivery The Environment The culture is collaborative, ambitious, and engineering-led. This is an organisation undergoing significant technology evolution, with strong investment into modern architecture, platform capability, and engineering excellence. The scale of systems, complexity of integrations, and commercial importance of the platforms create genuinely interesting technical challenges. The role operates on a hybrid basis from Manchester, typically two days per week onsite, alongside occasional monthly travel to Birmingham for leadership and collaboration sessions. Package • Up to £100,000 base salary, • Bonus scheme, • £6,300 car allowance, • Hybrid working, • Large-scale enterprise SaaS environment, • Significant architectural ownership and influence, • Long-term progression opportunities within a growing technology organisation

Fully Remote (UK) | Education Projects | Unique Opportunity via Grõ Careers At Grõ Careers, we spend a large part of our time speaking with architects who feel caught between two frustrations: • wanting exposure to better projects and stronger studios, • but no longer wanting the rigidity of traditional office culture The reality is, genuinely flexible architectural roles within respected design-led environments are still surprisingly rare. Most “hybrid” roles quickly become 3-5 days in the office. This opportunity is different. We are currently supporting a globally recognised architectural studio looking to appoint both… • Experienced / Senior Architect (£45,000 - £55,000), • Experienced Part II / Qualified Architect (£35,000 - £42,500) … to support the delivery of significant UK education projects. The business operates internationally across major sectors including education, transport, commercial and complex mixed-use environments and has developed a strong reputation for delivering technically sophisticated, design-led work. Importantly, they have also built a genuinely successful remote-first working culture. Whilst the role is technically aligned to their London studio, the team currently operates fully remotely. Employees may occasionally be asked to attend the office when required, meaning candidates do need to be within a commutable distance of London, however there are currently no signs of a return to office-based working. For many architects, this creates a genuinely rare balance… serious projects, strong studio pedigree and meaningful flexibility. The Projects… The successful candidates will initially support the delivery of UK education schemes, including a major school project. The wider education portfolio includes highly collaborative, technically ambitious learning environments designed around sustainability, flexibility and long-term community impact. A good reference point for the type of work delivered by the studio is large-scale contemporary education and research environments that include award-winning buildings. Projects often combine advanced learning, technical and research spaces within a highly sustainable and collaborative architectural environment. This is not repetitive volume housing or production-led delivery work. The projects are thoughtful, technically considered and stakeholder-heavy environments requiring architects who enjoy coordination, problem solving and meaningful project involvement. What The Role Will Feel Like… This is the kind of environment where individuals are trusted. The studio is looking for architects who are proactive, collaborative and capable of taking ownership within a remote working structure. Depending on level, responsibilities are likely to include… • Leading and coordinating project packages, • Working across multiple RIBA stages, • Producing and managing Revit-based information, • Coordinating consultants and wider stakeholders, • Supporting technical delivery and design development, • Contributing to project communication and team coordination The studio ideally values broad RIBA Stage exposure (0 to 7), however they are open-minded toward architects whose experience is weighted either toward early design or technical delivery stages, provided they are motivated to broaden their experience.

Senior CI/CD Platform / Software Engineer (GitHub Actions & TypeScript) Fully Remote (UK only), Outside IR35 We are supporting a major enterprise-scale cloud transformation programme and are seeking a Senior CI/CD Platform Engineer (GitHub Actions & TypeScript) to join a high-performing engineering environment. This role sits at the centre of a large-scale migration from Microsoft Azure to Google Cloud Platform. While existing teams focus on the migration, you will take ownership of designing and building a scalable, enterprise-grade CI/CD platform. This is not a typical DevOps role. We are looking for a software engineer who specialises in CI/CD systems, someone who has gone beyond assembling pipelines and has experience building custom GitHub Actions, reusable frameworks, and internal tooling in TypeScript. You will treat CI/CD as a product, enabling hundreds of engineers to deliver software safely, consistently, and at scale. Key Responsibilities • Design and build a scalable CI/CD platform using GitHub Actions as a core technology, • Develop custom GitHub Actions in TypeScript, including packaging, versioning, and internal distribution, • Create reusable workflows, abstractions, and tooling to standardise delivery across teams, • Define and enforce best practices for build, test, release, and deployment automation, • Decouple pipelines from cloud-specific implementations to support ongoing migration and future flexibility, • Improve developer experience through self-service CI/CD capabilities and internal tooling, • Identify bottlenecks in existing pipelines and re-architect for performance, reliability, and scalability, • Embed security, compliance, and governance into pipeline design (e.g. secrets, permissions, OIDC), • Collaborate with platform, cloud, and application teams to drive adoption of the CI/CD platform, • Mentor engineers and elevate CI/CD maturity across the organisation Required Skills & Experience • Strong software engineering background with significant experience in TypeScript / Node.js, • Deep, hands-on expertise with GitHub Actions beyond basic usage, including:, • Building and maintaining custom actions in TypeScript, • Designing reusable workflows and internal CI/CD frameworks, • Managing action versioning, distribution, and lifecycle in an enterprise setting, • Proven experience designing scalable CI/CD systems, not just implementing pipelines, • Experience building internal developer tooling or platforms, • Strong understanding of modern software delivery practices (testing, release strategies, automation), • Experience working in complex, large-scale engineering environments, • Ability to operate as a technical authority, influencing architecture and engineering standards Nice to Have • Experience with Google Cloud Platform and/or Microsoft Azure, • Exposure to large-scale cloud migration or transformation programmes, • Experience with containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes), • Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.), • Background in internal developer platforms (IDPs) or platform engineering teams, • Experience in large, complex enterprise environments What You’ll Be Doing You’ll be building the next-generation CI/CD platform for a global enterprise, moving away from fragmented, legacy pipelines towards a standardised, extensible, and developer-friendly system. Rather than stitching together existing tools, you will engineer reusable, production-grade CI/CD components that scale across hundreds of repositories and teams. Why Apply? This is a rare opportunity to operate at the intersection of software engineering and platform design, with real ownership over how CI/CD is built and used at scale. You’ll have the chance to: • Build a CI/CD platform as a first-class engineering product, • Influence engineering practices across a large global organisation, • Work on a high-impact cloud transformation programme, • Solve complex, non-trivial problems that go far beyond standard DevOps work

Lead Full-Stack Developer Location: Remote-first Type: Full-time Start: ASAP About Couch Heroes At Couch Heroes, we’re exploring new ground for the MMO genre. In a world where fantasy and ancient technology intertwine, players explore shattered realms, grapple across verticality, solve puzzles, and push back corruption, with progression driven by player expression and discovery. We envision bridging generations of gamers, creating a space where both coexist and journey together. We’re developing in Unreal Engine, in early production, with a team spanning multiple countries. We’re remote-first, based in the UK, and scaling to support a multi-year live-service roadmap. We value autonomy, curiosity, and collaborative ownership, and we’re looking for creators who want to help build something from the ground up. Sound like your kind of thing? We should talk. About the Job The web and platform layer of an MMO is what players interact with outside the game client: account systems, social features, community tools, content delivery, and the services that tie the live experience together. We need a Lead Full-Stack Developer who can own the architecture of these systems and build the engineering team that delivers them. You will report to the CTO and manage a growing team of web and platform engineers. You will make architectural decisions, stay hands-on with code, and represent the web engineering discipline across the studio in production planning and resourcing decisions. We are in early production. The studio has been running for three years, and core platform infrastructure is being built alongside the game itself. You will be making foundational choices about stack architecture, service boundaries, deployment pipelines, and data models that the team builds on for years to come. This is not a maintenance role. You are building systems from the ground up. Your Role People Leadership and Team Development • Manage a growing team of engineers as the team scales through production: set priorities, assign work, balance workload, and run regular 1:1s focused on progress, career development, and honest feedback., • Lead performance reviews and goal setting aligned to production milestones and individual development plans. Identify skill gaps and address them through coaching, stretch assignments, or training., • Represent the web engineering discipline in cross-discipline leads meetings, production planning, and resourcing conversations. Advocate for team needs and capacity., • Foster a team culture of code quality, shared ownership, and continuous improvement., • Support hiring as the team grows: contribute to job descriptions, review technical submissions, and participate in interview loops. Technical Leadership and Architecture • Architect and lead the development of backend microservices using TypeScript, Node.js, and Express, with MongoDB for persistent storage and Redis for caching, session management, and pub/sub messaging., • Design scalable, well-bounded services that support the throughput and reliability demands of a live-service MMO: player accounts, social systems, marketplace, mail, inventory, and platform integrations., • Own CI/CD pipelines using Azure Pipelines, with Docker and Kubernetes on Azure for container orchestration and deployment. Establish deployment practices that support rapid iteration without compromising stability., • Make architectural decisions about service boundaries, data models, caching strategies, and API design that balance immediate delivery needs with long-term scalability., • Establish monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices using Grafana and Uptime Kuma or equivalent observability tools. Frontend Engineering • Build polished, responsive, and accessible interfaces using TypeScript, React, and Next.js, with Redux for state management and Zod for schema validation., • Collaborate with UI/UX design to ensure clean design-to-implementation handoff and user-centric workflows across platform features., • Ensure frontend systems are built for internationalisation, accessibility, and performance from the start. Platform Integration • Work with gameplay engineering and online services to define how web platform systems integrate with the game client: authentication, account management, social features, content delivery, and analytics., • Collaborate with production to manage scope, schedules, and task breakdowns for web engineering work. Contribute to milestone planning, sprint scoping, and capacity forecasting. Must-Haves • Proven experience in software development, with at least one shipped product or live service., • Proven experience in a senior or lead role with hands-on team leadership experience: running 1:1s, setting goals, conducting reviews, and developing team members., • Strong backend experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and Express for API development., • Production experience with MongoDB and Redis in a services environment., • Strong frontend experience with React and Next.js., • Working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipeline design., • Experience with Azure Cloud services or equivalent cloud platform., • Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style, with proven experience making architectural decisions in cross-functional teams.

About You • You lead by example. You are hands-on when needed and empowering always., • You build systems that last and take pride in readable, maintainable code., • You are comfortable translating product vision into technical decisions and explaining technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders., • You are comfortable working through ambiguity. Early production means not everything is defined yet, and you see that as an opportunity to shape the right architecture., • You balance engineering ideals with delivery pragmatism. You know when to build for the future and when to ship what works., • You work autonomously in a remote environment, proactively keeping your team aligned and your stakeholders informed., • We are committed to making our hiring process accessible.
