Senior Solutions Architect

Senior Solution Architect | Belfast | Hybrid How do you replace the systems a business relies on every day while keeping everything running? That's the challenge at the heart of this Senior Solution Architect role. My client is investing in its own technology platforms as it moves away from shared IT systems. They're looking for someone who can get to grips with what's in place, work out what needs to move or be replaced, and help deliver the change.

What you'll be doing Lead the design of new and migrated solutions across applications, data, integrations, infrastructure and cloud. Compare the options and explain the trade-offs around cost, security and reliability so the business can make informed decisions. Work with the Enterprise Architect, business teams and suppliers to agree designs and help select the right technology. Stay involved through delivery and go-live, making sure systems are secure, reliable and can recover if something goes wrong.

What I'm looking for You'll have experience as a Solution Architect or in a similar senior design role. You'll be able to talk through a complex solution you designed, the decisions you made and how you saw it through to go-live. Experience moving or replacing business-critical systems would be particularly relevant. You'll also need to be comfortable explaining technical decisions in plain English and getting different teams on board.

Sponsorship is unavailable. If you'd like to hear more about the programme and the role, drop me a message or email me at for a confidential chat. Rachael Walker | MCS Group
