As we grow, we’re looking for like-minded people who are excited by lifelong learning, eager to challenge existing ways of working, and motivated to make a real impact in an AI-driven world.
Role Overview
As our Delivery Lead / Systems Integration Architect, you'll combine technical leadership with hands-on solution architecture to deliver complex integration and transformation programmes for our clients.

You'll work closely with senior client stakeholders to shape integration strategies, lead technical workshops and design scalable enterprise solutions. This is an opportunity to influence how organisations modernise their technology landscape while mentoring a talented team and helping shape the future of our growing consulting practice.
Location
This is a remote role, with the initial project requiring travel to Ipswich two days per week. We also enjoy regular team meet-ups where possible. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK, as we are unable to offer visa sponsorship.

- Partner with the Delivery Lead to successfully deliver complex systems integration programmes.
- Lead solution architecture and technical design across enterprise integration projects.
- Facilitate discovery sessions, stakeholder workshops and technical design reviews.
- Translate business requirements into scalable, secure and supportable integration solutions.
- Guide architecture decisions across REST APIs, event-driven integrations and Azure Integration Services.
- Establish integration standards, technical best practices and reusable design patterns.
- Work closely with architects, AI engineers, data engineers, functional consultants and client teams to deliver successful outcomes.
- Support delivery planning, technical governance, risk management and solution quality throughout the project lifecycle.
- Provide technical oversight during testing, deployment and production releases.
- Mentor team members, encourage knowledge sharing and help build a collaborative engineering culture.

You'll work alongside AI Engineers, Data Engineers, Product Leaders and Consultants who genuinely enjoy solving difficult problems together.

Working seamlessly as one unified team internally and externally to deliver working solutions for our clients. We Empower our Customers: we equip our clients with the skills and knowledge to fully leverage, scale and deploy data and AI solutions. We prioritise delivering operational success over prototypes and proof of concepts to provide long term value. We build trust.

We are Data Jedis: we work on hard problems and aim to deliver working solutions at scale. We don’t have time for politics, backbiting, gossiping, game playing or selfish behaviour.
