Solution Architect – .NET / Azure – Milton Keynes (Hybrid) – up to £78,000 + standout benefits
If you’re tired of designing solutions that never really change anything… this is where your work finally will.
You know the feeling.
You’re solving complex problems, but the bigger decisions are already made.
The architecture is “set”.
Innovation is talked about — but rarely acted on.
If you want to shape architecture from the start, influence real decisions, and see your ideas adopted — then this role was built for you.
What’s in it for you
You’re joining at the very start of an architecture evolution, not the middle of it.
That means:
* You’ll help define the future state, not inherit technical debt
* Your voice will carry weight with senior stakeholders from day one
* Your designs will actually get built, not parked in documentation
Whether you’re already a Solution Architect or a Senior Developer ready to step up, this role gives you the scope, backing, and visibility to make the move count.
What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
Designing solutions that are built for the future
You’ll design modern, cloud-first solutions using .NET and Azure, ensuring platforms are scalable, secure, and aligned with long-term business goals — so your work doesn’t need reworking in 12 months’ time.
Modernising what matters
You’ll help evolve existing systems where it counts most — improving performance, resilience, and maintainability — rather than change for the sake of change.
You’ll work closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders, shaping direction and gaining buy-in, not just presenting diagrams after decisions are made.
You’ll collaborate with engineers day-to-day — supporting, mentoring, and keeping delivery aligned with the architectural vision — so solutions stay clean as they scale.
Where you’ll be doing it
* Milton Keynes-based
* Hybrid working — flexibility is built in, not “allowed”
* Part of a collaborative architecture function that’s growing because the organisation is investing in technology properly
What you’ll need to bring
* Confidence influencing stakeholders at different levels
* A collaborative mindset — you enjoy enabling teams, not dictating to them
* Curiosity — you actively explore new technologies and approaches
Nice to have (but not essential)
* Previous exposure to large-scale modernisation programmes
* A background supporting teams through technical change
If you don’t tick every box, that’s okay — this role is about potential as much as experience.
What you’ll get in return
* Up to £78,000 salary
* A benefits package that genuinely adds value (not just a longer list)
* The chance to shape architecture from the ground up
* Clear opportunity to grow with a maturing architecture team
* Work that has visible impact across the organisation
What next
You don’t need a polished CV to start the conversation.
If you’re curious, interested, or just want to understand whether this move makes sense for you:
* Send over what you have
* Or reach out for an informal chat to talk through the role and direction
If you’re ready to move from “delivering solutions” to shaping them, this is worth a conversation.
