Nixor is seeking Principal/Lead Architects with Life Insurance/Assurance industry knowledge to join a newly formed architecture team for the UK’s largest Mutual Pensions company. This role offers the opportunity to help transition from legacy systems to a modern microservices architecture.
About the Role
As a Lead Architect, you will own your domain, overseeing applications, cloud infrastructure, and services. You will help transform a legacy "spaghetti" architecture into a modern microservices-based architecture.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide technical oversight across your domain

* Define and implement patterns for development, security, and observability
* Mentor junior architects and technical teams
* Serve as the technical contact for your business unit
Why Join?
Join a high-impact team with strong executive support, a large change budget, minimal politics, and a focus on user-centric designs.
Candidate Profile
* Strong background in solutions architecture (Applications, Cloud, Security)
* Experience modernizing legacy systems into microservices
* Deep knowledge of design patterns, cloud infrastructure, and security
* Experience in the Insurance industry, ideally Life Insurance
* Effective communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders
This role combines strategic influence with hands-on architecture work, working alongside Business Architects to shape technical direction.
