Role: Solution Architect
IR35: Outside
Location: Lancashire (Hybrid, 2 Days/Week On Site)
Day Rate: up to £700.00 (DOE)
Duration: 6 Months+
Contract Solution Architect with a strong applications and software background to play a pivotal role in shaping and modernising its application landscape.
This is not an infrastructure-led role. The focus is firmly on application architecture, integration, and modernisation across a complex, multi-system environment.
You will lead end-to-end solution design, bring structure to legacy estates, and help define a scalable, future-ready applications strategy across multiple business domains.
The Role
This is a hands-on architecture role where you will work closely with delivery teams, product owners, and senior stakeholders to translate business needs into robust, scalable application solutions.
You will be instrumental in moving the organisation from fragmented legacy systems towards a more integrated, modern architecture built on clear standards and reusable patterns.
Key Responsibilities
- Assess the current application estate, identifying opportunities for consolidation, optimisation, and replacement
- Define and implement integration patterns across systems, including APIs, middleware, and microservices
- Produce high-quality solution designs, architecture artefacts, and future-state roadmaps
- Provide architectural oversight across delivery teams, ensuring consistency with standards and best practice
- Support modernisation initiatives, including application refactoring, re-platforming, and rationalisation
- Work closely with stakeholders to balance technical integrity with commercial and delivery constraints
Essential Experience
- Strong background in Solution Architecture with a clear focus on applications and software, not infrastructure
Desirable
- Experience with API-led architecture, event-driven design, or microservices
- Exposure to cloud-based application platforms and modern development practices
- Familiarity with architecture frameworks or governance models
