Software Architect

Role:

WeDo is partnering with a global technology business undergoing a major platform transformation following the merger of two established product lines. The organisation is building a unified, next-generation platform designed to support multiple verticals and scale globally.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor of a greenfield architecture initiative where there is currently no defined application architecture in place. You will play a key role in shaping a modern, cloud-first platform that integrates IoT, distributed systems, and AI-driven capabilities.

The business operates across the UK and US with distributed engineering teams, offering exposure to international collaboration and complex, real-world system challenges. With a planned platform go-live in 2027, this role offers long-term impact and ownership.

Responsibilities:

• Designing and defining application-level architecture for a large-scale distributed platform
• Building a unified system from two legacy platforms into a scalable, multi-tenant solution
• Defining service boundaries, APIs, and integration patterns across cloud and on-prem environments
• Working closely with developers, DevOps, and product teams to deliver robust system designs
• Solving complex challenges around low latency, connectivity, and real-time data access
• Contributing hands-on to prototyping and solving medium-complexity engineering problems
• Supporting the transition of customers from hybrid environments to full cloud solutions
• Ensuring architectural decisions align with scalability, performance, and long-term maintainability

Required Skills:

• Strong experience in software or application architecture within distributed cloud environments
• Proven background working with Azure and cloud-native systems
• Solid experience with C# and .NET
• Strong understanding of microservices, APIs (REST, messaging), and system design principles
• Experience designing systems that operate across cloud and on-prem environments
• Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases
• Exposure to IoT or hardware-integrated systems is beneficial
• Understanding of security fundamentals such as OAuth, TLS, and encryption
• Experience working in distributed teams across multiple time zones
• Ability to operate autonomously and take ownership of architectural decisions

Why should I apply?

This is a genuine opportunity to build something from the ground up rather than inheriting legacy constraints. You will have full ownership of application architecture in a high-impact transformation programme, working on a platform that combines cloud, IoT, and AI technologies.

The business is investing heavily in innovation, including AI-driven development approaches, and offers the chance to work on complex, meaningful engineering challenges with global visibility.

If you are looking for a role where you can influence direction, mentor others, and see your architecture come to life at scale, this is a strong opportunity to do so.
