Your Responsibilities

• You define and drive the technology strategy together with the CTO and establish effective governance frameworks across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.
• You set the architectural guardrails for AI-native development, ensuring that AI-generated code is consistently reviewed against our architectural principles.
• You own technology lifecycle management - from introducing new capabilities through to modernising and retiring existing systems.
• You define the role of architecture within the FIRE team delivery model and establish it as a fixed, operational part of our product development.
• You build the Architecture Guild as an active community of practice, develop Guild leaders within the teams, and coach architects and senior engineers.

Your Profile

• Several years of experience as a Senior Architect or Head of Architecture in a complex, enterprise-wide technology environment - with demonstrable hands-on delivery, not just strategic advisory.

• Practical experience with microservices, cloud-native, and event‑driven architectures, ideally across both greenfield and modernisation projects.
• Familiarity with AI‑native development models and the architectural implications of AI‑generated code and autonomous agents.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills - credible from engineering teams up to executive board level, ideally with experience in healthcare IT or another regulated industry.
