Solutions Architect

Solutions Architect

At Wilderness Way, we believe exceptional outcomes for children start with exceptional people, supported by great technology.

We're looking for a Solutions Architect to join our Information Systems team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our digital landscape. You'll design scalable, secure and user-focused solutions that connect systems, improve data flow, and support our teams to deliver the best possible outcomes.

The Role

As our Solutions Architect, you'll be responsible for designing end-to-end system solutions, ensuring new technologies align with our wider architecture, integration standards, and strategic goals. You'll work closely with operational leaders, product owners, suppliers, and technical teams to create solutions that are intuitive, efficient, and future-ready.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing and maintaining our target systems architecture
  • Leading solution design across business-critical platforms
  • Defining integrations, APIs, and data flow standards
  • Providing architectural guidance and technical assurance for projects
  • Ensuring solutions meet security, governance, and compliance requirements
  • Identifying opportunities for automation, AI, and data-driven improvement
  • Supporting technology selection, procurement, and implementation activities

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.
