Software Architect, West Midlands

We’re partnered with a global outsourcing organisation to recruit a Software Architect.

This person will use deep cloud, integration and DevOps expertise to define the architecture for shared platforms, services and CI/CD pipelines across digital products.

• Define and maintain reference architectures for platforms, integrations, and serverless/event‑driven solutions.
• Produce clear architectural artefacts for Engineering and QA teams.
• Lead CI/CD pipeline patterns, including automated build/test/deploy and quality gates.
• Ensure platforms are testable by default, with automated environments and QA workflows.
• Provide specialist Azure leadership (Power Platform, Logic Apps, Azure Functions), with awareness of AWS (e.g., Lambda).
• Set patterns supporting both low‑code and pro‑code development.
• Ensure cloud designs meet security, compliance, operational and cost‑efficiency standards.
• Work collaboratively across Architecture, Engineering, QA and Operations.

• Strong background in cloud architecture (Azure essential; Power Platform/Dynamics ideal).
• Experience designing CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks.
• Solid grounding in integration, APIs and event‑driven architectures.
• Practical experience with Azure Functions, Logic Apps and cloud‑native components.
• Ability to turn strategy into clear designs.
• Excellent communicator with collaborative influence.

This is a hybrid role, requiring 2 days from their West Midlands offices per week.
