Technical Solutions Lead

Client Services & Platform

SUMMARY

A technically sharp and commercially curious Solution Architect with a strong foundation in enterprise technology design, AI integration, and hands-on software delivery. Comfortable bridging the gap between business needs and technical execution — designing practical, scalable solutions while staying close to the code.

Brings experience across consulting, rapid prototyping, and multi-system architecture, with a genuine enthusiasm for the opportunities that generative AI and modern engineering practices unlock for clients and teams.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Solution Architecture & Technical Design

• •Design and document end-to-end solution architectures aligned to business requirements, security, and scalability.
• •Contribute to reference architectures and architectural patterns across project engagements.
• •Evaluate and recommend technology stacks — including AI platforms and development tooling — with clear rationale.
• •Support architecture reviews and ensure solutions align with enterprise standards and governance requirements.

Engineering Delivery

• •Work closely with engineering teams to translate architecture into working, production-quality systems.
• •Apply modern engineering practices: clean code, CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and observability.
• •Participate in code and design reviews, sharing architectural context and raising quality across the team.
• •Comfortable getting hands-on — contributing code and debugging when it matters most.

Rapid Prototyping & AI Innovation

• •Lead proof-of-concept builds to de-risk architecture decisions and validate solution approaches quickly.
• •Use AI-assisted development tools (coding copilots, LLM APIs, agent frameworks) to accelerate delivery and exploration.
• •Translate prototype learnings into well-structured, production-ready architectures and delivery plans.
• •Stay current with the fast-moving generative AI landscape and bring relevant ideas to client engagements.

Consulting & Stakeholder Engagement

• •Engage directly with business and technical stakeholders to understand requirements and shape practical solutions.
• •Support workshops, solution design sessions, and technical discovery activities.
• •Communicate architectural thinking clearly — adapting the level of detail for different audiences.
• •Contribute to proposals, assessments, and solutioning work as part of client engagements.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES

Architecture & Design

• •Enterprise Solution Architecture, Microservices, Event-Driven and API-first design
• •Cloud-native systems, distributed architectures, integration patterns
• •Security-by-design, scalability and resilience principles

Artificial Intelligence & Emerging Technology

• •Generative AI platforms and Large Language Models (LLMs)
• •AI agents, intelligent automation, and prompt engineering
• •AI-assisted development workflows and tooling

Engineering & Delivery

• •Modern software engineering, DevOps, CI/CD pipelines
• •Observability, reliability engineering, and testing strategies
• •Rapid prototyping and proof-of-concept development
• •Python, modern application frameworks, API-based architectures

WHAT SETS THIS ROLE APART

• •You'll work at the intersection of architecture, AI, and consulting — not siloed in one discipline.
• •Real exposure to generative AI in enterprise settings — not just theory, but hands-on delivery.
• •Mentorship and growth from senior technology and business leadership while owning meaningful pieces of complex client solutions.
• •A culture that values engineering quality, intellectual curiosity, and getting things built.

TOOLS & PLATFORMS

AI & Language Models

• •OpenAI API (GPT-4 and beyond) — prompt engineering, function calling, embeddings
• •Anthropic / Claude — enterprise AI integration, Claude API, responsible AI workflows

Data & Analytics

• •Databricks — unified data and AI platform, Delta Lake, MLflow, notebooks
• •Snowflake — cloud data warehousing, data sharing, and analytics at scale

Cloud & Infrastructure

• •Azure / AWS / GCP — cloud-native architectures, managed services, IAM, networking
• •Docker / containerised deployments, cloud-managed compute and serverless patterns

Development & Source Control

• •GitHub / Git — version control, branching strategies, pull request workflows, CI/CD integration
• •FastAPI / Python frameworks — API development, backend services, AI application scaffolding

EDUCATION

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline — or equivalent practical experience.
