We're partnered with a fast-scaling UK SaaS company building high-performance, data-driven platforms used by commercial teams to better understand and engage their customers.

They're now looking for a Software Architect to shape the next generation of their customer-facing systems; designing scalable, cloud-first solutions capable of handling high data throughput and large data sets.

Strong .NET Architects who've worked in modern cloud and micro-services environments, or who can operate confidently across Node/TypeScript ecosystems, are absolutely encouraged to apply.

What matters most is architectural depth, SaaS scalability experience, and strong engineering principles.

You'll:

Design large-scale, high-performance SaaS architectures

Lead microservices and event-driven design initiatives

Champion DevOps-aligned architecture patterns

Work across distributed/offshore teams

Operate comfortably at both strategic and deep technical levels

Influence AI architecture and modern data practices
