Platform / Solution Architect

About the role

We are looking for a Platform / Solution Architect to support the delivery team on GCP and to take the development environment into its next phase. The role combines hands-on architectural design with strong stakeholder navigation across a large, complex organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Own architectural design and design decisions for the development environment on GCP.
• Design a generic, reusable platform layer that new projects can adopt, abstracting away common infrastructure and integration concerns.
• Align design and timelines with other project and product teams, gathering the input required to make sound architectural choices.
• Secure the support the delivery team needs — organisational networking is a core part of the role, not a side activity.
• Contribute to the governance model discussion around platform ownership and adoption (driven by another team; alignment required).
• Support data and AI/ML use cases where relevant, including pipeline and integration design.
• Provide light Product Owner support where needed to keep the team unblocked.
• Maintain and extend the existing communication and stakeholder map.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Platform Architect, Solution Architect or Technical Lead on cloud platform initiatives.
• Strong GCP expertise — this is the target platform and the primary technical requirement.
• Demonstrated experience building generic, reusable platform capabilities rather than one-off project solutions.
• Excellent communication skills and tenacity — the ability to identify the right people in a large, complex organisation and persist until the required information is obtained.
• Solution and systems design, including data modelling and systems integration.
• Experience aligning architecture and timelines across multiple product and project teams.
• Comfortable operating with incomplete information and driving clarity through stakeholder engagement.
• Strong Python.
• English at professional working level (C1).

Nice to have

• Infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD pipeline design; DevOps practices.
• Exposure to platform governance models and adoption frameworks.
• Experience delivering AI/ML or NLP solutions into production — not only proof-of-concept work.
• MLOps / ModelOps experience, including maturity assessment of DataOps–DevOps–MLOps setups.
• Architecture modelling notation (e.g. ArchiMate) and structured analysis and design techniques.
• AWS or Azure exposure alongside GCP.
• Experience in Product Owner or delivery-facing roles.
• Telco domain experience.
• Coaching and mentoring of junior engineers.

Perks and benefits

• Comprehensive benefits: Udemy for Business, private medical care, Multisport card, veterinary package, language lessons, and shopping vouchers.
• Flexible working hours and remote/hybrid work options.
• Professional development and learning opportunities, including partnerships with Microsoft, AWS, Snowflake, Salesforce, and more.
• Global collaboration with a diverse, international team.
• Innovative, forward-thinking, growth-oriented workplace.
• Team-building events, hackathons, and CSR initiatives.
• Annual company event in Mazury.
• Welcome pack.
