About the Role

The Architecture Practice contains several teams of Programme, Project and Solution Architects working across all functional areas of PXC.

The team for this specific role specialises in designing cross domain software solutions focused on our product portfolio, which spans all divisions of PXC. The product set could span everything we deliver including broadband, TV, high-speed Ethernet and corporate network solutions. The solutions designed by the team cover the full product lifecycle and ensure we adhere to Architecture best practice as defined by the Architecture Review Board.


A Project Architect within Architecture and Software Solutions defines architectural solutions for our business initiatives which deliver on our company objectives, and which align with our enterprise architecture principles.

The software solutions often involve complex processes and systems and must align with industry best-practises and patterns like event-driven architecture, microservices, and domain-driven design.

They lead the development of project architecture, across multiple architectural domains whilst maintaining an end-to-end view of the overall solution.

They will own the project architecture vision which defines the strategy of how we will deliver (“transition states”) and informs the overall roadmap.
