About the Role

As a Solution Architect at HBF, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our technology landscape. You’ll be a trusted advisor to both business and technology leaders, designing solutions that balance immediate delivery with long-term strategic alignment. This role combines hands-on architecture with thought leadership, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and future-ready.

The Solution Architect will be responsible for:

• Owning the end-to-end solution architecture for major initiatives, ensuring designs are practical, cost-effective, and aligned to HBF’s strategic architecture and technology roadmaps
• Partnering with business stakeholders, product managers and delivery teams to understand goals, constraints, and success measures, then translating these into robust, outcome-driven solutions
• Evaluating and recommending solution options using modern techniques (e.g., weighted assessments, proof-of-concepts, RFPs/RFQs, roadmap analysis)
• Contributing to and evolving HBF’s architecture frameworks, principles, standards and reusable patterns (e.g., API-led integration, microservices, cloud-native topologies, event-driven architectures)
• Leading the design of current and target-state architectures across business, data, application and technology domains
• Championing modern delivery practices including DevOps, CI/CD, automated testing and Infrastructure as Code

• A strong technical background (software engineering, infrastructure, networking, or cloud) with the ability to engage at implementation level
• Deep expertise in cloud (AWS preferred), integration, applications, and modern data platforms
• A track record with hybrid architectures spanning SaaS, PaaS, cloud-native and on-premise
• Knowledge of modern architecture practices: microservices, event streaming, API-led integration, zero trust
