Role: Technical Lead – Integration & Architecture
Location: Kingston upon Thames (Hybrid 3 days per week)
Salary: £75,000–£90,000 + Benefits
We're partnering with a well-established retail brand undergoing a significant technology transformation, and they're looking for an experienced Technical Lead to build and lead a brand-new integration capability.
This is a genuine opportunity to shape the future technology landscape of a household retail business. Over the next two years, you'll play a pivotal role in modernising the organisation's core platforms, including eCommerce, warehousing and ERP, helping to move from complex legacy integrations to a modern API-first, event-driven architecture.
If you're looking for a role where you'll influence technical strategy, own architectural decisions and build something from the ground up, this is it.
What you'll be doing
- Owning the integration architecture across multiple enterprise platforms
- Designing scalable API-first and event-driven integration solutions
- Defining technical standards, governance and architectural best practice
- Working closely with third-party delivery partners, reviewing designs and ensuring quality throughout delivery
- Leading the transition from outsourced integration development to an internal capability
- Building and mentoring a growing integration team
- Producing architecture documentation, decision records and integration standards
- Acting as the technical authority across several concurrent transformation programmes
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- Experience as a Technical Lead, Solutions Architect or Integration Architect
- Strong enterprise integration architecture experience
- Knowledge of REST APIs, event-driven architecture and middleware platforms
- Experience with Azure Integration Services or similar integration technologies

- Strong stakeholder management skills with the confidence to challenge third-party suppliers where appropriate

Why apply?
This is one of those rare opportunities where you'll join at the beginning of a large-scale transformation rather than inheriting a mature environment. You'll have genuine ownership, the opportunity to influence technology decisions from day one, and the chance to build an integration function that will underpin the business for years to come.
If you're an architect or technical leader who enjoys solving complex integration challenges and wants to make a lasting impact, I would love to hear from you.
