Lead Solution Architect Join Jacobs' Design Automation team and play a key role in shaping the software products and platforms used by engineers across our global business. Operating as part of a product-focused software organisation within Jacobs, you'll help define the architectural direction for a diverse portfolio of applications, driving innovation, scalability, and engineering excellence. This is not simply a delivery role; it is a transformation role. A real opportunity to influence how software is designed, built, and delivered across multiple teams. Your leadership will help strengthen engineering standards, improve development practices, and ensure our technology platforms are ready to support future growth, including the adoption of emerging AI-enabled capabilities. What You'll Do As Lead Solution Architect, you'll provide architectural leadership across a broad portfolio of software products and services. Working closely with software engineers, product leaders, and technical stakeholders, you'll translate business needs into robust, scalable, and secure solutions. You'll guide architectural decision-making, mentor engineering teams, review solution designs, and help establish consistent approaches to software development, cloud architecture, CI/CD, and technical delivery. While this is not a hands-on development role, you'll be comfortable engaging with technology at a detailed level, whether reviewing designs, developing proof of concepts, or helping teams solve complex technical challenges. We're looking for an experienced software or solution architect who combines technical depth with strong leadership and communication skills. Someone who has successfully designed and delivered complex cloud-based software platforms and distributed systems. You'll have strong architectural judgement, a pragmatic approach to technology decision-making, and the ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams. You'll also bring: Experience designing and delivering distributed, cloud-based software solutions in Azure, AWS, or similar cloud environments. A proven track record of providing architectural leadership across multiple applications, products, or engineering teams. Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices, including CI/CD, cloud-native development, and software delivery lifecycle principles. Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction without direct line management responsibility. The ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and build credibility as a trusted advisor. Experience within SaaS, product-led technology organisations, or cloud-native software environments would be particularly valuable. Exposure to technologies such as .NET, C#, Python, microservices, and modern AI-enabled software development approaches would also be beneficial. Experience within the AEC sector or with platforms such as Autodesk or Bentley Systems would be an advantage, but is not essential. At Jacobs, we deliver solutions that matter.

Integration Architect - London / Birmingham (Hybrid working) Full-Time / Permanent Competitive salary + bonus and excellent benefits including healthcare, wellbeing support, 27 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, life insurance and more. We are looking for a technically exceptional Integration Architect to join the Digital & Technology team at Compass Group UK & Ireland. You'll combine strong judgement with a practical, delivery-minded approach - evaluating platforms and approaches, shaping integration patterns that engineers can build to, and driving targeted modernisation where it will reduce risk and improve reliability. This is a role for someone who is comfortable producing technically rigorous architecture, and able to explain options, trade-offs, and roadmaps to senior stakeholders when required. If you are the kind of Integration Architect who is energised by complexity, motivated by the opportunity to build something that genuinely matters, and ready to leave a lasting mark on how a large organisation connects and operates - this is the role for you. About Compass Group UK & Ireland We're part of FTSE 100 Compass Group PLC, a global leader in food services. Our colleagues serve customers every day across thousands of locations, from schools and hospitals to stadiums, offices and visitor attractions. Digital & Technology (D&T) is around 260 people and is driving the business's AI First strategy. Integration Architect - The role Integration is the connective tissue of our technology estate. It influences how quickly we can deliver change, how reliably our systems operate, and how effectively our platforms - from SAP to e-commerce to our data estate - work together to serve the business and our customers. Getting this right is a key enabler for delivery and operational performance. The Integration Architect is a key domain expert within Digital & Technology, sitting at the intersection of architecture and engineering. The role partners closely with delivery teams building products, the architecture community shaping technology direction, and programmes across commerce, data, and SAP to ensure integrations are designed consistently, securely, and in a way that will scale. Key Responsibilities Integration Strategy and Platform Direction Lead the development of the integration strategy and target-state direction, working with Enterprise Architecture, Engineering, and programmes to establish a clear vision for how systems connect, share data, and enable business capabilities. Lead or support the evaluation of integration platforms and tooling (API management, event streaming, iPaaS, middleware), providing clear recommendations, reference architectures, and evidence to inform investment decisions. Assess the current integration estate with technical rigour, identify the highest-priority areas of fragility, duplication, and risk, and develop a phased modernisation roadmap with clear outcomes at each stage. Define and maintain the integration methodology - the patterns, standards, and decision frameworks that teams can use to design and deliver integrations consistently and well. Stay ahead of the curve on emerging integration technologies and approaches, ensuring the organisation's strategy reflects industry direction and does not accumulate avoidable technical debt. Technical Architecture and Hands-On Design Produce detailed, technically credible integration architectures across all integration domains - SAP and ERP connectivity, e-commerce and digital channels, mobile platforms, data pipeline and analytics integrations, and third-party SaaS and partner systems. Lead technical spikes and proof-of-concept work to validate architectural approaches, evaluate tooling options, and de-risk delivery - getting hands-on where the situation demands it. Define and curate the integration patterns library, covering REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven and pub/sub patterns, webhooks, message queuing and streaming (e.g. Apache Kafka, Amazon SQS/SNS, Amazon EventBridge), batch and near-real-time data exchange, and EDI.

Integration Architect - London / Birmingham (Hybrid working) Full-Time / Permanent Competitive salary + bonus and excellent benefits including healthcare, wellbeing support, 27 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, life insurance and more. We are looking for a technically exceptional Integration Architect to join the Digital & Technology team at Compass Group UK & Ireland. You'll combine strong judgement with a practical, delivery-minded approach - evaluating platforms and approaches, shaping integration patterns that engineers can build to, and driving targeted modernisation where it will reduce risk and improve reliability. This is a role for someone who is comfortable producing technically rigorous architecture, and able to explain options, trade-offs, and roadmaps to senior stakeholders when required. If you are the kind of Integration Architect who is energised by complexity, motivated by the opportunity to build something that genuinely matters, and ready to leave a lasting mark on how a large organisation connects and operates - this is the role for you. About Compass Group UK & Ireland We're part of FTSE 100 Compass Group PLC, a global leader in food services. Our colleagues serve customers every day across thousands of locations, from schools and hospitals to stadiums, offices and visitor attractions. Digital & Technology (D&T) is around 260 people and is driving the business's AI First strategy. Integration Architect - The role Integration is the connective tissue of our technology estate. It influences how quickly we can deliver change, how reliably our systems operate, and how effectively our platforms - from SAP to e-commerce to our data estate - work together to serve the business and our customers. Getting this right is a key enabler for delivery and operational performance. The Integration Architect is a key domain expert within Digital & Technology, sitting at the intersection of architecture and engineering. The role partners closely with delivery teams building products, the architecture community shaping technology direction, and programmes across commerce, data, and SAP to ensure integrations are designed consistently, securely, and in a way that will scale. Key Responsibilities Integration Strategy and Platform Direction Lead the development of the integration strategy and target-state direction, working with Enterprise Architecture, Engineering, and programmes to establish a clear vision for how systems connect, share data, and enable business capabilities. Lead or support the evaluation of integration platforms and tooling (API management, event streaming, iPaaS, middleware), providing clear recommendations, reference architectures, and evidence to inform investment decisions. Assess the current integration estate with technical rigour, identify the highest-priority areas of fragility, duplication, and risk, and develop a phased modernisation roadmap with clear outcomes at each stage. Define and maintain the integration methodology - the patterns, standards, and decision frameworks that teams can use to design and deliver integrations consistently and well. Stay ahead of the curve on emerging integration technologies and approaches, ensuring the organisation's strategy reflects industry direction and does not accumulate avoidable technical debt. Technical Architecture and Hands-On Design Produce detailed, technically credible integration architectures across all integration domains - SAP and ERP connectivity, e-commerce and digital channels, mobile platforms, data pipeline and analytics integrations, and third-party SaaS and partner systems. Lead technical spikes and proof-of-concept work to validate architectural approaches, evaluate tooling options, and de-risk delivery - getting hands-on where the situation demands it. Define and curate the integration patterns library, covering REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven and pub/sub patterns, webhooks, message queuing and streaming (e.g. Apache Kafka, Amazon SQS/SNS, Amazon EventBridge), batch and near-real-time data exchange, and EDI. Architect API gateway strategy - including lifecycle management, versioning, consumer experience, and throttling - ensuring APIs are treated as products, not just interfaces (e.g. Amazon API Gateway, Kong, or equivalent). Ensure all integration designs address non-functional requirements: resilience, observability, scalability, fault tolerance, and operational manageability. Define patterns for real-time and near-real-time data flows, event-to-data pipelines, and data replication - ensuring integration and data architecture are coherent and complementary rather than misaligned.

Lead Solution Architect Join Jacobs' Design Automation team and play a key role in shaping the software products and platforms used by engineers across our global business. Operating as part of a product-focused software organisation within Jacobs, you'll help define the architectural direction for a diverse portfolio of applications, driving innovation, scalability, and engineering excellence. This is not simply a delivery role; it is a transformation role. A real opportunity to influence how software is designed, built, and delivered across multiple teams. Your leadership will help strengthen engineering standards, improve development practices, and ensure our technology platforms are ready to support future growth, including the adoption of emerging AI-enabled capabilities.

Working closely with software engineers, product leaders, and technical stakeholders, you'll translate business needs into robust, scalable, and secure solutions. You'll guide architectural decision-making, mentor engineering teams, review solution designs, and help establish consistent approaches to software development, cloud architecture, CI/CD, and technical delivery. While this is not a hands-on development role, you'll be comfortable engaging with technology at a detailed level, whether reviewing designs, developing proof of concepts, or helping teams solve complex technical challenges. We're looking for an experienced software or solution architect who combines technical depth with strong leadership and communication skills. Someone who has successfully designed and delivered complex cloud-based software platforms and distributed systems. You'll have strong architectural judgement, a pragmatic approach to technology decision-making, and the ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams. You'll also bring: Experience designing and delivering distributed, cloud-based software solutions in Azure, AWS, or similar cloud environments. A proven track record of providing architectural leadership across multiple applications, products, or engineering teams. Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices, including CI/CD, cloud-native development, and software delivery lifecycle principles. Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction without direct line management responsibility. The ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and build credibility as a trusted advisor. Experience within SaaS, product-led technology organisations, or cloud-native software environments would be particularly valuable. Exposure to technologies such as .NET, C#, Python, microservices, and modern AI-enabled software development approaches would also be beneficial. Experience within the AEC sector or with platforms such as Autodesk or Bentley Systems would be an advantage, but is not essential. At Jacobs, we deliver solutions that matter.
