Senior Technical Lead / Architect

We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Senior Technical Lead / Architect to drive the design, evolution, and delivery of our enterprise-grade software systems. In this role, you will serve as the technical anchor of one or more product squads - guiding engineers, defining architectural standards, and translating complex business requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions.
You will work closely with product, infrastructure, and data teams to establish best practices across the full software delivery lifecycle. You are equally comfortable whiteboarding system designs with architects as you are reviewing pull requests with developers. Your technology background is broad and stack-agnostic; what matters most is your depth of engineering judgement and your passion for building systems that last.

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & Design
Lead end-to-end architecture for current products, platforms, and major feature initiatives
Define and maintain reference architectures, design patterns, and coding standards across teams




Evaluate build vs. buy decisions and drive technology selection with clear rationale
Produce architectural decision records (ADRs) and ensure documentation stays current
Design for non-functional requirements: scalability, resilience, observability, and security by design

Technical Leadership
Provide hands-on technical mentorship to senior, mid, and junior engineers
Conduct architecture and code reviews with constructive, knowledge-sharing feedback
Collaborate with product owners to refine technical feasibility, effort estimates, and trade-off analysis
Act as the primary technical point of contact for cross-team and cross-functional initiatives

Cloud & Infrastructure
Design and govern cloud-native architectures on AWS, Azure, and/or GCP (multi-cloud awareness is a
plus)
Define cloud cost optimisation strategies - right-sizing, reserved capacity, and FinOps principles
Ensure architecture
