A new architecture function, built from the ground up, at the start of a multi-year technology transformation.

This is solution-architect altitude: high-level design and blueprints that set the direction, with engineering teams building within your guardrails. Design and ownership, not hands-on code, and not maintaining someone else's legacy.

What is in it for you

  • £75,000 to £85,000 depending on experience, plus benefits
  • Hybrid, with flexibility
  • A genuinely greenfield remit: you help define how modern applications and integration architecture is done here, rather than inherit it

The organisation

We are partnering with a mission-led organisation partway through a significant, multi-year technology transformation. It is building out a modern Azure estate and a new architecture capability to steer it, and this is one of the first hires into that function.

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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

What you will be doing

  • Own high-level design across applications and integration, turning business and data drivers into clear, deliverable architecture
  • Define a modern integration approach on Azure, moving away from legacy point-to-point patterns towards a managed, controlled layer
  • Set the principles and guardrails engineers work within, then assure delivery against them
  • Work alongside subject matter experts, engineering and wider architecture to keep solutions coherent across the estate

What you will need

  • A genuine solution or applications and integration architect, comfortable at high-level design and blueprint level
  • Strong Microsoft and Azure background, with modern integration judgement: knowing the tools in the kit, picking the right one, and understanding how it is managed and controlled
  • Experience moving an organisation off legacy integration towards a modern, service-oriented approach
  • The credibility to define architecture, brief engineers and assure delivery without getting into the weeds
