What you'll do
- As an API Platform Solution Architect, you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of our digital architecture and API strategy. You’ll work with solution architects, engineering leaders, product managers, and technology teams to define best practices, influence platform direction, and ensure our API ecosystem continues to deliver secure, scalable, and high-performing digital experiences. This is an opportunity to make a genuine impact on the technology strategy of a large-scale digital platform while helping teams deliver innovative solutions at pace. You’ll help define and evolve our API platform strategy, architecture patterns, and technology standards. You’ll collaborate with digital, platform, and enterprise architecture teams to shape future roadmap priorities and solution designs. You’ll guide and support solution architects across the business, providing expertise on complex API platform enhancements and architecture decisions. You’ll review solution designs to ensure alignment with architectural principles, target state architecture, and long-term strategic goals. You’ll champion simplicity, scalability, and cost effectiveness by encouraging the use of existing platform capabilities wherever possible. You’ll work closely with engineering teams to ensure the platform continues to meet performance, security, and service availability requirements. You’ll enable delivery teams to succeed by providing clear direction, reference architectures, and technical guidance that supports greater autonomy and confidence. You’ll contribute to the creation of high-quality digital products that serve customers at enterprise scale.
Who you are
- You’ll bring extensive experience designing and delivering cloud-native, microservices-based APIs for large-scale customer-facing platforms. You’ll have strong expertise in modern cloud architectures, including containerised and serverless solutions, managed services, and scalable application design. You’ll have a solid understanding of SOLID object-oriented design principles and how to apply them to real-world solutions. You’ll possess deep knowledge of RESTful API design and experience with authentication and authorisation standards such as OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. You’ll understand security best practices, including the OWASP Top 10 and approaches to mitigating common vulnerabilities. You’ll be a confident communicator who can translate complex technical concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences. You’ll have experience working within Agile environments, using methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, or Lean. You’ll be comfortable developing architecture roadmaps, business cases, and phased transformation plans that move organisations from current-state to future-state solutions. Experience with event-driven architecture patterns will be highly valued. Knowledge of TM Forum-compliant APIs will be advantageous. Experience with Java and the Spring framework will be beneficial. Exposure to AI agents, agentic frameworks, or intelligent integration patterns will be a plus. Cloud architecture certification, such as AWS Associate Architect or an equivalent qualification, will be welcomed. Most importantly, you’ll be passionate about collaboration, continuous improvement, and creating inclusive technology solutions that deliver meaningful business outcomes. Worried that you don’t meet all the desired criteria exactly? We know that everyone is unique, with multiple aspects to their identity and different experiences behind them. We are passionate about Inclusion for All and creating a workplace where everyone can thrive, whatever their personal or professional background. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align exactly with every part of the job description, we encourage you to apply as you may be the right candidate for this role or another role, and our recruitment team can help you see how your skills fit in.
