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

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.
