This is a senior technical consulting role focused on helping investors, portfolio companies, and technology leaders make effective architecture decisions that support measurable business outcomes. You will lead complex architecture engagements across applications, cloud, infrastructure, integration, data, security, and software delivery. The role combines deep technical expertise with strategic thinking, requiring you to translate business priorities into pragmatic and scalable technology solutions. You will assess current technology environments, define target architectures, identify risks and constraints, and establish practical transition roadmaps. You will work closely with senior technology and business stakeholders, communicating complex technical topics with clarity and confidence. The environment is collaborative, fast-moving, and focused on solving complex technology challenges through practical, evidence-based recommendations.
\n- Lead technical architecture workstreams across complex client engagements, assessing applications, infrastructure, cloud environments, integration patterns, data platforms, and technical constraints.
- Define pragmatic target-state architectures that align business priorities with application, infrastructure, data, security, scalability, resilience, and delivery requirements.
- Advise clients on technology platform and architecture decisions, including cloud platforms, application modernisation, infrastructure, integration, software delivery tooling, data platforms, and analytics environments.
- Translate business and technology requirements into clear architecture principles, technical designs, transition approaches, and delivery priorities.
- Develop and present architecture recommendations that are credible to senior technology leaders while remaining accessible and actionable for non-technical stakeholders.
- Identify technical risks, dependencies, technical debt, architectural constraints, and delivery challenges, recommending practical mitigation strategies.
- Collaborate with client teams and multidisciplinary specialists to ensure architecture decisions support product, engineering, cloud, security, data, and broader transformation objectives.
- Challenge assumptions and pressure-test proposed designs, balancing strategic ambition with cost, complexity, resilience, and time to value.
- Develop prioritised technology roadmaps that help clients move from current-state limitations toward scalable, resilient, and fit-for-purpose technology capabilities.
Requirements
- Significant experience in technical, solutions, or enterprise architecture, software engineering, or related technical leadership roles, with a proven track record of designing and delivering complex technology solutions.
- Strong practical knowledge of modern technology architectures and platforms, including cloud services, application architecture, infrastructure, integration patterns, software delivery practices, security, and reliability.
- Demonstrated experience assessing existing technology estates and defining target-state architectures, transition strategies, and delivery roadmaps.
- Strong understanding of cloud technologies, security, resilience, observability, performance, scalability, and operational considerations.
- Meaningful expertise in data architecture and modern data platforms, including data warehouses, data lakes, lakehouses, integration patterns, data modelling, data governance, data quality, and analytics.
- Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, practical recommendations for senior business, data, and technology stakeholders.
- Credibility when working with senior technology leaders, including CTOs, CIOs, CDOs, Heads of Engineering, Heads of Data, and enterprise architects.
- Experience across the full technology lifecycle, from architecture and platform design through software delivery, deployment, operations, modernisation, and continuous improvement.
- Practical and hands-on mindset, with the ability to move between architecture design, technical problem-solving, and client-facing advisory work.
- Consulting, advisory, or multi-client delivery experience is desirable, together with the ability to operate effectively in ambiguous and fast-moving environments.
Benefits
- Opportunity to lead high-impact technology architecture engagements across a diverse range of clients and business contexts.
- Exposure to strategic technology challenges spanning cloud, applications, infrastructure, data, security, integration, and modernisation.
- Direct interaction with senior technology and business leaders, including executive-level stakeholders.
- Opportunity to influence architecture decisions that support measurable business outcomes and long-term technology value.
- Collaborative environment bringing together experienced technology, transformation, commercial, and operational specialists.
- Scope to deepen expertise across modern architecture practices while contributing to complex, multidisciplinary engagements.
- Opportunity to work on varied, challenging projects in a fast-moving and entrepreneurial consulting environment.
- Ability to contribute to practical technology roadmaps and solutions that balance scalability, resilience, cost, complexity, and speed to value.

About Jobgether
Industry: Internet Marketplace Platforms
Company size: 11-50 employees
Jobgether is a career navigation platform built for senior professionals competing in the remote job market. Hiring systems were designed for volume and keyword matching, not for 15 or 20 years of nonlinear experience. That structural mismatch is why strong profiles get filtered out before a human ever sees them. Our platform diagnoses where a search is breaking, corrects how experience is positioned, and connects professionals to the companies where their background creates real value. The goal is not more applications. It is the right visibility in the right places. Our mission is to ensure no senior professional remains invisible in the global remote market, not because they lack the skills, but because the system failed to read them correctly.
