This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has just started their career in Solution Architecture or is ready to transition from Business Analysis or Integration Development into a role where you'll help design innovative enterprise integration solutions for a diverse client base.

Working alongside experienced Solution Architects and delivery teams, you'll gain valuable exposure to enterprise integration projects while developing your expertise in solution design, architecture best practices, and modern iPaaS technologies.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical knowledge with business engagement and wants to develop into a senior architecture role.

• Support the design and documentation of end-to-end integration solutions, translating business and technical requirements into clear architectural designs.
• Participate in discovery workshops and requirements gathering sessions with clients and internal stakeholders.
• Produce solution documentation including architecture diagrams, integration specifications, data flow maps, and technical design documents.
• Work closely with Integration Developers to ensure solutions are implemented in line with approved designs and best practice.
• Assist in evaluating integration platforms and technologies, with a particular focus on Workato and other leading iPaaS solutions.
• Identify technical risks, assumptions, and dependencies within proposed solutions, escalating where appropriate.
• Support pre-sales activities including solution scoping, effort estimation, and proposal preparation.
• Continuously develop your knowledge of enterprise architecture, API design, integration patterns, and emerging technologies.

You will have:

• At least 1 year's experience in a Solution Architect or similar technical role within an integration, software, or technology consultancy environment.
• A background in either Business Analysis or Integration Development, with a desire to progress into Solution Architecture.
• A good understanding of enterprise integration concepts including REST and SOAP APIs, messaging patterns, event-driven architecture, and data transformation.
• Experience working with at least one iPaaS or integration platform such as Workato, MuleSoft, Boomi, or Azure Integration Services.
• Strong documentation skills with experience producing architecture diagrams and technical documentation using tools such as Visio or Lucidchart.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage confidently with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working within Agile delivery environments.

The following experience would be advantageous but is not essential:

• Workato Automation Pro certification or equivalent.
• Previous experience within a consultancy or client-facing environment.
• Knowledge of enterprise platforms such as Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow, or similar SaaS applications.
• Understanding of API security, data governance, and integration best practices.
