Who We’re Looking For - ??

This is not a purely high-level architect role. We are looking for someone who combines architecture thinking with hands-on engineering leadership and delivery ownership.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable moving across:

Product Requirements → Architecture → Brownfield Modernization → Microservices & Orchestration → Engineering Delivery → CI/CD → Production Ownership

Experience delivering Order Management solutions for large retail customers and the ability to confidently engage client Engineering Managers and Product Owners would be a strong advantage.
