- Support delivery from design through to implementation
- Work with business and technical stakeholders to deliver real value
- Assist in designing solutions across APIs, microservices and cloud platforms
- Produce clear architecture documentation and artefacts
What We’re Looking For
- 1–3 years in IT delivery, engineering or architecture-aligned roles
- Exposure to solution/design work (even without the title)
- Understanding of architecture fundamentals and SDLC
- Experience with AWS, Azure or GCP
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- Relevant degree (2:1 preferred)
- Financial Services or regulated industry experience desirable
