Hands‑on experience with middleware technologies (WebSphere, JBoss, Datapower) and cloud‑native platforms. Familiarity with SaaS platforms and asynchronous messaging solutions. Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels. Insurance or financial services experience (including London Market) is a plus. Why Join?

Collaborate with a forward‑thinking, supportive architecture community. Enjoy a flexible hybrid working model and a comprehensive rewards package.
