Digital Solution Architect – Software

Due to continued business growth across NZ, we are seeking an experienced Digital Software Architect to join an experienced and highly engaged architecture team.

Key Responsibilities and Experience Required

• Ability to provide end-to-end Azure solution architecture (landing zones, micro‑services, event streaming, data platforms) for mission‑critical workloads.
• Experience with domain‑driven designs, API contracts and integration patterns that enable high‑throughput, high‑availability and global scale.
• Promote DevOps, GitOps and IaC (Terraform / Bicep) pipelines; champion automated testing, blue / green deployments and FinOps disciplines.
• Facilitate architecture workshops with C‑suite, product owners, delivery partners and offshore teams; provide technical governance through sprint reviews and release gates.
• Mentor senior engineers and junior architects; share patterns, code samples and POVs through Theta guilds and lunch‑and‑learns.
• Hands‑on track‑record designing cloud‑native, micro‑services or event‑driven systems on Microsoft Azure for large enterprises (5k+ users, multi‑region).
• Fluency in containerisation and modern API‑management; comfortable guiding teams that use orchestration platforms without necessarily being the in‑depth Kubernetes expert.
• Strong software‑architecture background (DDD, REST / GraphQL, messaging) with solid grounding in infrastructure, networking and security.
• Outstanding client‑facing skills—able to simplify complexity for non‑technical execs and inspire engineering squads.
• All candidates must possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate with a broad range of stakeholders.

Due to security requirements – all candidates must have NZ Citizenship or Permanent Residency and ideally resided in NZ continuously for 5+ years.
