Let me tell you about the role

We are looking for a Senior Solution Architect to help design and deliver secure, scalable, and cost-effective technology solutions across our fuel, EV charging and convenience retail business. You’ll focus on detailed solution design and technical architecture within specific domains such as consumer-facing applications, store/site operations, supply chain or payment systems.

This role is ideal for an experienced Architect who brings strong hands-on expertise, thrives in delivery-focused environments and is ready to take ownership of solutions for focused projects or components within larger products/programmes. You will work closely with technical leads, and delivery teams to turn business needs into robust digital solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Solution Design & Delivery

• Design detailed, modular solution architectures that align with established patterns, roadmaps, and business needs.
• Lead the solution design for small-to-medium initiatives or contribute to larger architecture workstreams.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure high-quality implementation aligned with architecture principles.
• Deliver Solution Architecture artefacts including sequence diagrams, interface contracts, deployment models and integration flows.
• Data Strategy & Governance: by establishing data standards, policies, and security protocols to ensure compliance.

Technology & Standards

• Apply MACH principles (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless) and cloud-native design approaches, ideally with AWS services.
• Ensure foundational elements like security, observability, and integration are built into every solution.
• Work within defined architecture standards, helping to evolve patterns and reusable frameworks.

Collaboration & Delivery Enablement

• Partner with business and technology teams to understand requirements and define pragmatic solutions.
• Support agile delivery teams by providing ongoing architectural guidance during implementation.
• Translate architectural decisions into actionable technical designs and development tasks.

Compliance & Risk Management

• Embed security and compliance standards (identity, encryption, data protection) in solution designs.
• Identify risks and issues early, proposing mitigation strategies aligned with architecture governance.

Qualifications

Technical & Professional Skills:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent experience.
• At least 3–5 years in hands-on solution architecture or technical leadership roles.
• Experience designing and delivering solutions using cloud-native architectures, ideally on AWS.
• Proficient in Integration design patterns, API architecture (REST, event-driven), and microservices.
• Good understanding of Architecture domains (application, data, infrastructure, integration and security).
• Knowledge of DevOps practices and experience with CI/CD pipelines and agile delivery.
• Solid grasp of architecture patterns and trade-offs, with the ability to perform solution analysis and present clear recommendations.
• Experience in one or more relevant domains: Retail Site/Store systems, Payment processing, EV charging, Supply chain or Customer/Consumer facing applications (web/mobile).

Desirable

• Exposure to technologies like IoT, RFID, Digital Twin, or Telematics is a plus.
• Certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect (preferred but not mandatory).

What Sets You Apart

• Passionate about engineering excellence and continuous improvement.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills with the ability to articulate architecture decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• A problem-solver who enjoys hands-on involvement and learning by doing.
• Product and customer-centric mindset, with an eye for balancing innovation and execution.

Why Join Us

• Shape digital experiences across the energy transition from fuelling to EV charging to retail convenience.
• Work with a modern tech stack, experienced architecture teams and global delivery partners.
• Learn and grow in an environment that values technical depth, autonomy and creativity
