A software-led business is looking for a Software Architect to bring structure, coherence and long-term direction to a complex platform environment.

This is an individual contributor role for someone who can work across engineering, product, infrastructure and security teams to shape architectural standards, guide technical decisions and support wider platform consolidation.

Software Architect
Uxbridge, West London - Hybrid, 2 days per week in the office
Up to 120,000 + benefits

The business has a broad technology landscape, with multiple systems, services, integrations and data capabilities that need to evolve in a more consistent, scalable and maintainable way. Your role will be to help define what good looks like, create clearer architectural boundaries and support engineering teams in making decisions that work both now and in the future.

What you'll be doing

You'll provide architectural leadership across software platforms, services, integrations and cloud-based systems.

This will include:

• Defining architectural principles, standards and target-state designs

• Supporting platform consolidation and reducing unnecessary duplication

• Reviewing significant technical changes and guiding solution design

• Helping define clear service boundaries, ownership models and integration patterns

• Ensuring security, resilience, observability and scalability are considered from the outset

• Identifying architectural risks, technical debt and platform constraints

• Working closely with engineering and product leadership on major technical decisions

• Influencing engineering teams through technical credibility, clarity and pragmatic decision-making

This is not a hands-on development role day to day. It is primarily focused on architecture, design review, technical direction and influencing through engineering teams.

What we're looking for

You'll need a strong background in software architecture, ideally within a SaaS, product or platform-led environment.
You should be comfortable working across complex systems and helping teams move towards a more coherent platform architecture.

Essential experience includes:

• Software architecture across complex platforms or distributed systems

• SaaS, product or platform architecture experience

• API, integration and service design experience

• Cloud-based architecture, ideally including Azure

• Security-by-design, resilience, scalability and operational quality

• Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• The ability to influence technical direction without relying on direct line management

Experience of platform consolidation would be particularly useful.

Why this role?

This is a good fit for someone who enjoys solving structural technology problems rather than owning a single product or system.

You'll be working at platform level, helping the business simplify its architecture, improve ownership and create standards that engineering teams can actually use.

The role suits someone pragmatic, credible and senior enough to balance long-term architecture with real-world delivery constraints.

Software Architect
Royston, Hertfordshire

90,000 basic + bonus (100,000 OTE)

On-site with flexibility

Own the software vision for two global product platforms.

This is a rare opportunity to take genuine architectural authority across an entire software ecosystem, not a slice of it. Our client is a global manufacturer of advanced precision machinery used in demanding, highly regulated production environments worldwide. Their Royston site is the global design authority for the product line, supported by manufacturing operations in the United States and China, and R&D teams in the UK, Germany and Asia.

They currently run two established brands, each with its own software platform, its own hardware platform, and its own development team working largely independently. That is the problem you are being brought in to solve. You will be the person who understands both architectures at code level, forms a view on what should be shared, what should be merged, and what should stay deliberately different, and then sets the technical direction that takes those platforms into their next generation.

What you will actually be doing

• Getting properly under the bonnet of two mature software architectures, mapping how they are built, why they were built that way, and where the structural risks and opportunities sit
• Defining the technical vision and roadmap for the next generation software platform, aligned to how the business wants to differentiate its two brands commercially
• Designing layered architectures that allow multiple teams, in multiple countries, to iterate quickly without tripping over each other
• Producing system architectures and high level product specifications for solutions that must be robust, scalable and secure
• Line managing a small UK software team of three to four engineers initially, with the German software team of a similar size expected to come under your remit over time
• Acting as the technical bridge into the Asia based R&D function, particularly around a growing portfolio of AI driven feature development
• Working across the full lifecycle, from early system definition through design, development, deployment and production support
• Holding developers to account on implementation quality, challenging approaches and mentoring where it counts
• Operating within an established Agile framework (SAFe or Scrum)

The portfolio you will influence spans customer facing application software, advanced imaging and signal processing algorithms, embedded firmware on custom electronics, and internal production and R&D tooling.

The technology

The core application software runs on Windows IoT and is predominantly C and C++, with C# also in the estate. Around it sit custom electronics with their own firmware and embedded operating systems, AI and machine learning workstreams, and an emerging interest in connected and cloud enabled services. Cyber security, and the Cyber Resilience Act in particular, is a live and serious topic, because these are connected products going into industrial networks.

What they need from you

This is not a requirements engineering role and it is not a Scrum Master role with a new title. The team will only follow someone whose technical credibility is beyond question.

Essential:

• A career that started in hands on software development and progressed upwards. You do not need to code daily, but you must be someone who could, and who has been genuinely excellent at it at some point
• Strong commercial development background in C, C++ and C#, with exposure to Python, .NET, Java or SQL welcome
• Experience architecting software that controls physical hardware. This is not enterprise software. The code drives a machine that does something in the real world, and it has to interact properly with electronics, sensors and mechanics
• Demonstrable experience operating as a software architect or technical authority within a complex, multi site organisation
• The ability to influence, persuade and align global teams without direct line authority
• Domain depth in at least one of: application software (industrial automation, networking protocols, UI frameworks), IoT and cloud development (Azure, AWS), AI and machine learning systems, cyber security, or embedded systems (RTOS, bare metal, hard real time)

Highly desirable:

• Experience working across European, Asian and North American teams, and an instinct for how working and communication styles differ across those cultures
• Time spent living or working abroad
• Background in industrial automation, medical devices, robotics, defence or another regulated hardware led sector

Travel and working pattern

Expect to travel less than twenty percent of your time, but at least once a quarter, including regular trips to Germany and roughly quarterly visits to Asia. The role is primarily site based in Royston, with a discretionary hybrid policy in place.

What is on offer

• 90,000 basic salary
• Annual bonus scheme taking realistic total earnings to around 100,000
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Early finish on Fridays
• Enhanced work life balance policies, strong wellbeing focus and regular employee engagement events
• Genuine international exposure across a global engineering network
• Committed investment in training and technical development

Why this one is worth a conversation

Architect roles of this scope do not come up often. Most give you one platform, one team and a fixed direction. This gives you two platforms, three engineering locations, a blank sheet for the next generation, and the mandate to decide what it looks like. If you have built the technical foundation and you now want the influence that goes with it, this is the step.
