Solution Architect - Shape the Future of a High-Scale Platform

Kafka, SQL, C#, .NET, Golang, TypeScript

Are you ready to define and drive the architecture of a platform built to handle millions of transactions per second, powering international growth and long-term scalability?

We're embarking on a full systems transformation of a mission-critical, large-scale platform — with major investment and ambitious expansion plans. This role offers a rare opportunity to step into the heart of a greenfield rebuild, setting the foundations for the next decade of growth.

This isn't just a coding role. We're looking for a Solution Architect who can bridge hands-on engineering with architectural vision, someone who thrives in shaping strategy, designing resilient systems, and guiding teams towards world-class delivery.

What You'll Do

• Define solution architecture and technical strategy for a complex, high-scale platform
• Own end-to-end design across distributed, event-driven systems (Kafka, SQL, cloud-native)
• Partner with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to translate vision into architecture
• Lead technical planning, standards, and best practices across multiple teams
• Provide architectural oversight and mentorship while influencing build vs. buy decisions
• Ensure performance, scalability, and reliability are built into the DNA of the platform

What We're Looking For
