Solutions Architect (Integrations)

Salary: £62,580 - £65,088 per annum (Grade 13)

Contract type: Full-time; Permanent

The challenge

At WJEC, we contribute to our education communities by providing trusted qualifications and specialist support, to allow our learners the opportunity to reach their full potential. This is a fantastic chance to be part of an organisation that both encourages and enhances the minds of tomorrow.

The role:

As the Integrations Solutions Architect, you will oversee the design and governance of connecting applications, services, and data sources across WJEC’s technology infrastructure. You will work closely with colleagues across the business to ensure that the integration architecture enables products, internal platforms, and third-party systems to interoperate through well-defined APIs, events, and data flows whilst reducing overall complexity, improving performance, and accelerating delivery.

The person:

To thrive in this role, you’ll be a capable, conscientious, and cooperative person who can handle a wide-ranging workload, coordinating and supporting colleagues across WJEC. You will be a strong communicator, able to deliver clear and concise information to stakeholders, including business and technical colleagues within WJEC and external partners and collaborators. The person in this role will be results-orientated, well-organised, proactive, and accurate; ensuring the correctness of all communications through an attention to detail.

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.

WJEC operates a hybrid working model, enabling the successful candidate to split their time between WJEC offices and working at home, subject to business need. As such, applications are invited from individuals across the UK, but please note that regular working from our Cardiff offices will be required, and whilst flexibility can be discussed, this team currently requires average office attendance of once per week. Welsh language skills are not essential, but the willingness to learn is always valued.

To find out more about the role, or about working for us, please do not hesitate to contact Fliss (she/her) (Felicity.Spacie@wjec.co.uk) who would be more than happy to answer your questions.
