We are seeking a Software Architect to join our Architecture function and play an essential role in shaping the design and delivery of our cloud-based SaaS products.
This is a hands-on architecture role, not a pure governance position. You will help shape architectural direction within the Architecture function and provide technical leadership to product teams, helping design and build scalable, secure, multi-tenant SaaS applications running in Microsoft Azure.
You will work closely with the Engineering, DevOps, Product, and UX teams to ensure our platforms are robust, future-proof, and built on best-in-class engineering practices from day one.
Key Responsibilities
- Designing scalable, secure, multi-tenant SaaS solutions in Microsoft Azure
- Providing architectural leadership and technical guidance across multiple engineering teams
- Contributing to the architecture and evolution of platform services (APIs, Identity shared services)
- Supporting product-focused development — ensuring solutions are cost effective and designed with end users and customer onboarding in mind
- Driving best practice in:
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- DevOps and CI/CD pipelines
- Secure deployment and cloud-native design
- Observability and operational excellence
- Leading architectural design sessions and whiteboarding exercises
- Making pragmatic technology decisions, clearly articulating trade-offs
- Supporting teams in delivering high-quality, production-ready software
This role will have a strong focus on cloud platform architecture and SaaS product design, with opportunity to influence broader strategic technical direction.
Candidate Profile
Essential Experience
- Significant experience as a Software Developer before moving into Architecture. We are specifically looking for someone who has written production code and understands engineering realities firsthand.
- Experience designing and delivering cloud-native SaaS applications
- Strong background in:
- Microsoft .NET ecosystem
- Modern Web Stack
- Microsoft Azure (computer storage, messaging, security, and monitoring)
- API Design
- SQL Databases
- Experience architecting multi-tenant systems
- Strong understanding of DevOps practices and CI/CD
- Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code
- Experience designing secure, scalable distributed systems
- Product-focused mindset — experience building commercial software products (not purely internal enterprise systems)
- Ability to communicate architectural decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Desirable
- Experience working on rostering, workforce management, or scheduling platforms
- Experience modernising legacy systems into cloud-native architectures
- Exposure to platform engineering principles
- Experience contributing to or leading architectural governance
Ideal Background
We anticipate the successful candidate will likely have:
- 8+ years in software engineering
- Several years’ operating in a tech lead/lead developer or architecture capacity
- Experience working within product-led SaaS organisations
However, we are open to strong candidates who can demonstrate architectural capability, even if their title has not formally been “Architect” for many years.
Why Join Us?
- Influence the architecture of modern, cloud-based SaaS platforms
- Work on scalable multi-tenant products used by a large customer base
- Join a collaborative engineering culture
- Opportunity to bring fresh thinking and new ideas into an experienced architecture function
- Be part of shaping the next phase of platform evolution
