Our  technology team  thrives on inclusivity and collaboration, believing that diverse perspectives lead to great solutions. We foster a culture that champions individual growth, professional development, and work-life harmony. We're invested in your success and dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. We encourage our team to bring challenge thinking and fresh ideas to the table and our Agile approach empowers us to focus on outcomes. When we hire someone it`s because they bring the skills, attitude, and experience we're looking for....so we let you do what you are best at! Join us and be part of a community that's passionate about harnessing technology's potential to drive market-leading solutions for our clients. Elevate your career in an environment where your ideas matter, your growth is nurtured, and your potential is limitless. We are currently going through an exciting phase of growth as we invest in cutting-edge technologies.

This role is reporting to the Principal Enterprise Architect, based in Melbourne. It focuses on architectural strategy, decision-making, and cross-functional design across high-performing, event-driven systems. You’ll collaborate with engineering leads, program managers, and product teams to deliver scalable, strategic solutions that connect multiple value streams. This role is not embedded in a single team, but instead sits across programs — influencing, aligning, and driving architectural consistency throughout the organization.

Your contribution will be vital in aligning our architecture with long-term goals , especially as we scale rapidly.

You will support engineering and program leadership in designing modular, maintainable solutions; establish architectural decision frameworks; and ensure all systems play well together across our trading, payments, and customer platforms.

This is an ideal opportunity for a strategic thinker with a strong technical foundation who enjoys zooming out to the big picture and diving into technical details when it counts.

As our Solution Architect, your key responsibilities include, but are not limited to :

• Design & Align : Create solution architecture that balances performance, flexibility, and alignment with enterprise-wide goals.
• Strategic Influence : Guide architectural decisions using decision-making frameworks, not committees. Write architecture decision records (ADRs) and RFCs to create clarity across teams.
• Collaboration Across Value Streams : Work closely with Engineering Managers, Principal Engineers, and Program Directors across 2–3 value streams.
• Holistic Thinking : Build architectural consistency across platforms by understanding patterns across teams (e.g. Kubernetes vs ECS vs Compose) and guiding best-fit decisions.
• Pattern-Driven Thinking : Apply architectural patterns where they fit — such as modular monoliths vs microservices — and help others understand trade-offs.
• Drive Clarity : Help define and evolve how we review, document, and socialize architectural designs.
• Promote Evolution : Enable teams to move fast while maintaining integrity in design and long-term scalability.
