You might be in your second or third role, already contributing to integration or data migration work, and now looking for a chance to take ownership and grow your capability in a more complex, cloud-based architecture.


You’ll thrive in afast-paced, dynamic culture, working closely with a small team (currently 3) and engaging with a wider architecture community across IT and operational systems.


This is ablank-page opportunity– and we’re looking for someone who’s excited by that, not intimidated. You want to grow, take ownership, and work with a smile on your face.
