Solution Architect - Innovation & Digital £84,000 (inc. cash allowance) + enhanced holiday + private medical Hybrid - typically 1-2 days per month in the office I'm working with a client of ours who are a well-established UK organisation investing heavily in their Innovation & Digital capability. This isn't a traditional architecture role sitting in governance or platform. This is greenfield. Experimentation. Prototyping. Turning ideas into real, live digital products that the business actually uses. You'll sit within a forward-thinking Architecture function that looks after products - not waterfall programmes, not static platforms - but genuine innovation. Around 30% of your time will be in the innovation labs space, working with stakeholders to shape ideas, challenge thinking, and build proof of concepts. Another 30% will see you taking the best of those ideas into full builds, working closely with agile development squads to get them over the line. This is as much about communication and influence as it is technical design. You'll be expected to challenge the business (constructively), articulate ideas clearly, and translate complex technical thinking into something commercial leaders can genuinely understand. They're doing some exciting things in the AI space too - from building their own secure internal chat capability through to AI-driven, compliance-focused transformation products. Gen AI is a big part of the experimentation pipeline, so whether you've delivered AI projects already or you have a solid grasp of the principles and infrastructure behind it, that curiosity and understanding is important. What you'll be doing You'll be at the front end of innovation - taking problem statements from across the business and turning them into tangible prototypes, MVPs and scalable digital products. You'll design and lead technical solutions in a cloud-first environment, collaborate with architects and engineers to ensure alignment to enterprise strategy, and stay hands-on enough to validate ideas quickly. You'll also stay involved post go-live - consulting with product teams to ensure what's been built is adopted, maintained and evolved properly. This isn't "design it and disappear". It's proper ownership. In your first year, the expectation is that you'll fully understand the business streams you support - both technically and commercially - becoming a trusted voice in that space.

Solution Architect - Innovation & Digital £84,000 (inc. cash allowance) + enhanced holiday + private medical Hybrid - typically 1-2 days per month in the office I'm working with a client of ours who are a well-established UK organisation investing heavily in their Innovation & Digital capability. This isn't a traditional architecture role sitting in governance or platform. This is greenfield. Experimentation. Prototyping. Turning ideas into real, live digital products that the business actually uses. You'll sit within a forward-thinking Architecture function that looks after products - not waterfall programmes, not static platforms - but genuine innovation. Around 30% of your time will be in the innovation labs space, working with stakeholders to shape ideas, challenge thinking, and build proof of concepts. Another 30% will see you taking the best of those ideas into full builds, working closely with agile development squads to get them over the line. This is as much about communication and influence as it is technical design. You'll be expected to challenge the business (constructively), articulate ideas clearly, and translate complex technical thinking into something commercial leaders can genuinely understand. They're doing some exciting things in the AI space too - from building their own secure internal chat capability through to AI-driven, compliance-focused transformation products. Gen AI is a big part of the experimentation pipeline, so whether you've delivered AI projects already or you have a solid grasp of the principles and infrastructure behind it, that curiosity and understanding is important. What you'll be doing You'll be at the front end of innovation - taking problem statements from across the business and turning them into tangible prototypes, MVPs and scalable digital products. You'll design and lead technical solutions in a cloud-first environment, collaborate with architects and engineers to ensure alignment to enterprise strategy, and stay hands-on enough to validate ideas quickly. You'll also stay involved post go-live - consulting with product teams to ensure what's been built is adopted, maintained and evolved properly. This isn't "design it and disappear". It's proper ownership. In your first year, the expectation is that you'll fully understand the business streams you support - both technically and commercially - becoming a trusted voice in that space. What they're looking for Experience as a Solution Architect or Technical Architect (or a Lead / Senior Developer who has stepped into architecture) Strong background in cloud solutions - AWS or Azure, they're flexible Proven experience delivering greenfield work, proof of concepts and MVPs Comfortable working in agile product environments Exposure to AI / Gen AI projects or a strong understanding of the principles Able to design compliant, production-ready solutions Strong stakeholder engagement skills - able to challenge and influence Confident presenting technical designs to both technical and non-technical audiences Creative mindset - enjoys experimenting and trying new approaches You don't need to be an Enterprise Architect living in governance frameworks all day.

Generative Biology Institute GBI is tackling the key challenges in making biology engineerable, and thereby unlocking the unrivalled power of biology for the benefit of humanity. GBI is part of the Ellison Institute of Technology, Oxford (EIT) and is led by founding Director Jason Chin. The vision of the Generative Biology Institute is to lay the foundations for engineering biology, and unlock its potential for good. To achieve this, we must overcome two key challenges. First, we need the ability to write in the natural language of biology, enabling the rapid and scalable synthesis of entire genomes with precision. Second, we must understand what to write - determining which DNA sequences will generate biological systems that perform the desired functions. Addressing these challenges will allow us to harness the full power of biology to create transformative solutions across health, agriculture, clean energy and more. GBI will have sustained and substantial funding to support the unique scale and ambition of its ground-breaking vision for engineering biology. GBI researchers will also be supported by cutting edge technology hubs including mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, sequencing, automation, imaging, and bioprocessing. GBI will also have access to substantial compute resources that can be leveraged to further accelerate progress, including scientific compute, bioinformatics, and machine learning. The environment at GBI will allow researchers to undertake ambitious, long term, collaborative research, and we will actively support the translation of research to commercial applications, where appropriate. The Generative Biology Institute will commence operations in a newly renovated bespoke space in the Oxford Science Park. The team will later move to a purpose made facility in the Oxford Science Park, currently under construction. Once complete, this state of the art facility will include more than 40,000 m of research laboratory and office space. It will house over 30 groups and up to 600 employees at scale, focused on solving the two critical challenges in making biology engineerable and applying the solutions to addressing the global challenges encapsulated in EIT's Humane Endeavors.
