Hertfordshire HQ with a Hybrid working pattern
Are you a Solution Architect who can turn complex business requirements, fragmented systems and challenging data flows into clear, practical technology solutions?
We are recruiting for a major UK organisation delivering essential infrastructure services and investing in the continued modernisation of its enterprise technology estate.
You will work across a varied environment encompassing operational platforms, work management systems, ERP, middleware, cloud services, business intelligence and data warehousing. You will help project teams understand the complete end-to-end solution, reduce delivery risk and make informed architectural decisions.

- Translate business requirements into clear, deliverable solution architectures
- Produce high-level designs, logical architecture models and technical decision records
- Design secure, scalable, resilient and cost-effective technology solutions
- Define application interactions, integrations, APIs, data flows and dependencies
- Assess current architecture and identify risks, gaps and opportunities for simplification
- Evaluate solution options and communicate the associated costs, benefits and trade-offs
- Guide delivery teams through design and implementation challenges
- Ensure proposed solutions comply with enterprise architecture and security standards
- Work alongside Enterprise Architects, Platform Architects and business stakeholders
- Promote reuse of existing capabilities, common services and proven patterns
- Present designs through architecture governance and review forums
- Contribute to future-state architecture and wider technology improvement initiatives
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
