Role

We are seeking a dynamic and versatile Digital Solutions Architect who blends strategic architectural thinking with a hands-on engineering mindset. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on shaping technical solutions that drive real business impact while also staying close to the code and technical problem-solving when needed.

The ideal candidate will act primarily as a Solutions Architect — collaborating with clients, consultancy teams, and internal stakeholders to design scalable, future-proof solutions across digital, data, and MarTech domains. However, this individual should also be comfortable getting hands-on in engineering scenarios, whether it''s during critical build phases, technical troubleshooting, or prototyping new concepts.

You will be a key contributor across pre-sales, discovery, solution design, and delivery phases — taking ownership of architectural artefacts and ensuring technical excellence throughout the project lifecycle. This role requires strong communication skills, a sharp understanding of modern tech stacks, and an ability to bridge business needs with technical execution.

ResponsibilitiesPre-Sales and Solution Scoping

Collaborate with consultancy and business development teams during pre-sales phases to understand client requirements and propose high-level technical solutions.

Assist in creating estimations, delivery models, and proposals that align with client budgets and timelines.

Solution Design and Delivery

Translate business requirements into architectural designs and actionable technical documentation.

Design robust, scalable, and maintainable digital solutions across web, mobile, data, and MarTech ecosystems.

Client Collaboration and Delivery Execution

Participate in workshops and discovery sessions to capture functional and non-functional requirements.

Engage with client-side developers and product owners to ensure alignment on technical implementation.

Provide architectural support during the delivery lifecycle including build oversight, integration, testing, and deployment.

Engineering and Hands-On Capability

Provide hands-on support during critical phases of delivery, including prototyping, technical troubleshooting, and code contributions when needed.

Collaborate closely with engineering teams to guide implementation, unblock issues, and ensure architectural integrity is maintained throughout.

Bridge high-level design with real-world engineering execution, bringing practical insight to technical decision-making.

Quality and Security

Support code and solution reviews to ensure best practices in performance, security, and maintainability.

Contribute to the creation and use of reusable components, solution templates, and documentation standards.
