[Hiring] Software Architect @TotalMobile

Role Description

We are seeking a Software Architect to join our Architecture function and play an essential role in shaping the design and delivery of our cloud-based SaaS products. This is a hands-on architecture role, not a pure governance position. You will help shape architectural direction within the Architecture function and provide technical leadership to product teams, helping design and build scalable, secure, multi-tenant SaaS applications running in Microsoft Azure.

You will work closely with the Engineering, DevOps, Product, and UX teams to ensure our platforms are robust, future-proof, and built on best-in-class engineering practices from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Designing scalable, secure, multi-tenant SaaS solutions in Microsoft Azure
• Providing architectural leadership and technical guidance across multiple engineering teams
• Contributing to the architecture and evolution of platform services (APIs, Identity shared services)
• Supporting product-focused development — ensuring solutions are cost effective and designed with end users and customer onboarding in mind
• Driving best practice in:
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
  • DevOps and CI/CD pipelines
  • Secure deployment and cloud-native design
  • Observability and operational excellence
• Leading architectural design sessions and whiteboarding exercises
• Making pragmatic technology decisions, clearly articulating trade-offs
• Supporting teams in delivering high-quality, production-ready software

This role will have a strong focus on cloud platform architecture and SaaS product design, with opportunity to influence broader strategic technical direction.

Qualifications

• Significant experience as a Software Developer before moving into Architecture
• Experience designing and delivering cloud-native SaaS applications
• Strong background in:
  • Microsoft .NET ecosystem
  • Modern Web Stack
  • Microsoft Azure (compute, storage, messaging, security, and monitoring)
  • API Design
  • SQL Databases
• Experience architecting multi-tenant systems
• Strong understanding of DevOps practices and CI/CD
• Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code
• Experience designing secure, scalable distributed systems
• Product-focused mindset — experience building commercial software products (not purely internal enterprise systems)
• Ability to communicate architectural decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Requirements

• Desirable:
  • Experience working on rostering, workforce management, or scheduling platforms
  • Experience modernising legacy systems into cloud-native architectures
  • Exposure to platform engineering principles
  • Experience contributing to or leading architectural governance
• Ideal Background:
  • 8+ years in software engineering
  • Several years’ operating in a tech lead/lead developer or architecture capacity
  • Experience working within product-led SaaS organisations
• Open to strong candidates who can demonstrate architectural capability, even if their title has not formally been “Architect” for many years.

Benefits

• Influence the architecture of modern, cloud-based SaaS platforms
• Work on scalable multi-tenant products used by a large customer base
• Join a collaborative engineering culture
• Opportunity to bring fresh thinking and new ideas into an experienced architecture function
• Be part of shaping the next phase of platform evolution
