We’re supporting a major cloud transformation programme and are looking for an experienced API Architect to help modernise a critical enterprise platform.<\/p>\n

This role is focused on transforming a large API estate, migrating services from on-premise infrastructure into Azure, and evolving a monolithic architecture into a modern, scalable, event-driven ecosystem.<\/p>\n

This is a hands-on architecture role where you’ll work closely with engineering teams to define architectural standards, guide implementation, and support the delivery of a long-term modernisation strategy.<\/p>\n

The Opportunity<\/h2>\n

You’ll play a key role in:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Leading the migration of business-critical APIs from on-premise environments into Azure<\/li>\n
  • Defining and driving API architecture across a complex technology landscape<\/li>\n
  • Decomposing a large API monolith into scalable, independently deployable services<\/li>\n
  • Introducing and embedding event-driven architecture principles<\/li>\n
  • Supporting the adoption of Kafka-based messaging and integration patterns<\/li>\n
  • Working closely with development teams to ensure architectural alignment and technical quality<\/li>\n
  • Helping establish best practices around scalability, resilience, security, and maintainability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What We’re Looking For<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Proven experience operating as an API Architect, Solution Architect, or Senior Backend Architect<\/li>\n
    • Strong background in API design and integration architecture<\/li>\n
    • Experience delivering cloud migration and modernisation programmes<\/li>\n
    • Deep understanding of microservices and distributed systems<\/li>\n
    • Experience designing event-driven architectures<\/li>\n
    • Ability to balance strategic architecture with practical delivery support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Technical Environment<\/h2>\n

      We’re currently validating the final stack, however strong experience in either of the following would be highly relevant:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Java<\/li>\n
      • .NET \/ C#<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Additional technologies include:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Azure<\/li>\n
        • Kafka<\/li>\n
        • API Management<\/li>\n
        • Microservices<\/li>\n
        • Event-Driven Architecture<\/li>\n
        • Cloud-Native Platforms<\/li>\n
        • CI\/CD Pipelines<\/li>\n
        • Distributed Systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Ideal Experience<\/h2>\n
            \n
          • API transformation programmes<\/li>\n
          • Monolith decomposition initiatives<\/li>\n
          • Enterprise integration architecture<\/li>\n
          • Large-scale cloud adoption programmes<\/li>\n
          • High-volume or mission-critical systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Contract Details<\/h2>\n
              \n
            • \u00a3500-\u00a3525 per day<\/li>\n
            • 6-month initial contract<\/li>\n
            • Strong extension potential<\/li>\n
            • Immediate interview process<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              This is an opportunity to shape the future architecture of a business-critical platform whilst driving a significant shift towards cloud-native, event-driven engineering practices.<\/p>\n
