We’re embarking on a full systems transformation of a mission-critical, large-scale platform — with major investment and ambitious expansion plans. This role offers a rare opportunity to step into the heart of a greenfield rebuild, setting the foundations for the next decade of growth.

What You’ll Do * Define solution architecture and technical strategy for a complex, high-scale platform
* Own end-to-end design across distributed, event-driven systems (Kafka, SQL, cloud-native)
* Partner with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to translate vision into architecture
* Lead technical planning, standards, and best practices across multiple teams
* Provide architectural oversight and mentorship while influencing build vs. buy decisions
* Ensure performance, scalability, and reliability are built into the DNA of the platform
What We’re Looking For * Proven track record designing or architecting distributed, high-volume systems
* Experience with event-driven architectures and high-throughput data pipelines (Kafka)
* Strong knowledge of at least one of: C#, .NET, Golang, or TypeScript, plus SQL/databases
* Ability to balance hands-on technical leadership with high-level solution design
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
* Experience in platform modernisation, migrations, or full-scale rebuilds is highly desirable
*Already started to explore AI in previous role
Why Join Us? * Hybrid working — offices in Manchester or Staffordshire

* Chance to shape the backbone of a fast-scaling, international tech business
