What you will do

We have a vacancy for a Software Architect working in a hybrid capacity with regular access to our Basingstoke office.

This is a senior technical leadership role focused on the architecture and evolution of MyCity, our cloud-based mobility platform built on modern microservices architecture. While the role is primarily architectural, a strong background in C# development is essential to effectively guide engineering teams and ensure robust, scalable solutions.

You will define architectural standards, shape technical strategy, and work closely with development teams to deliver high-performance, resilient distributed systems. This role requires significant experience in designing enterprise-scale cloud-native applications and the ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Defining architecture for cloud-based microservices solutions within the MyCity platform
• Creating architectural designs guiding development from concept to deployment
• Ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability of distributed systems
• Developing and maintaining architectural roadmaps and technical blueprints
• Providing technical leadership and guidance to development teams
• Translating business requirements into scalable architectural solutions
• Collaborating with international development teams on core architecture initiatives
• Driving best practices across software design, integration, and deployment
• Supporting resolution of complex technical challenges

On a day-to-day basis, you will:

• Work closely with engineers to review solution designs
• Provide architectural oversight for new features and services
• Define software standards and governance processes
• Assess technical feasibility of new initiatives
• Mentor developers and technical leads
• Contribute to continuous improvement of development practices
• Support integration of cloud services with live infrastructure systems
