Solution Architect AI-Driven High-Scale Platform
Kafka, SQL, C#, .NET, Golang, TypeScript, AI/ML
Are you ready to architect the next generation of a platform designed to handle millions of transactions per second — while unlocking the power of AI and data intelligence to drive global expansion?
We’re undertaking a full systems transformation of a mission-critical platform, backed by significant investment and international ambitions. This is an opportunity to shape both the core architecture and the intelligent services that will fuel growth for years to come.
We’re looking for a Solution Architect who can combine system design expertise with a forward-looking view on how AI and machine learning can be embedded into modern, large-scale platforms.
What You’ll Do
Define and own solution architecture for a high-volume, distributed platform
Shape AI-ready architectures that enable real-time analytics, data-driven insights, and intelligent automation
Drive event-driven, scalable systems using Kafka, SQL, and cloud-native services
Partner with data and AI teams to ensure infrastructure supports ML model deployment and inference at scale
Guide development standards, architectural governance, and technical direction across teams
Mentor engineers and foster innovation around AI integration and platform modernisation
What We’re Looking For
Proven track record in designing complex, distributed architectures at scale
Experience with event-driven design (Kafka) and high-throughput data processing
Strong hands-on experience in C#, .NET, Golang, or TypeScript, plus SQL/databases
Awareness of AI/ML applications in scalable platforms (e.g., real-time recommendations, anomaly detection, predictive analytics)
Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills
Experience in system rebuilds, migrations, or greenfield platform design is a big plus
Why Join Us?
Hybrid working — Manchester or Staffordshire
Direct influence over architectural decisions, with scope to shape AI-powered capabilities
Be part of a high-growth, international journey, building a platform designed for the next decade
If you’re ready to step into a strategic role at the crossroads of architecture, engineering, and AI innovation, we’d love to hear from you
