We are looking to connect with experienced Technical Architects and Testing & Quality Assurance Specialists for our talent pool as we anticipate future project demand across the UK Financial Services, insurance, fintech and broader technology sectors.
This is not an active role. We are proactively building a network of independent consultants and contractors with specialist architecture, testing and quality-assurance experience so we can respond quickly as new client projects come to market.
We are particularly interested in professionals who can support complex technology-transformation, platform-modernisation, systems-integration, cloud-migration and digital-delivery programmes.
What you may support:
- Define technical architectures for complex transformation and modernisation programmes.
- Translate business and functional requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Design integrations across applications, platforms, APIs, cloud services and third-party systems.
- Assess existing technology estates and define target-state architectures and migration roadmaps.
- Support architecture governance, technical assurance and solution-design reviews.
- Develop testing strategies, plans, frameworks and quality-assurance standards.
- Lead functional, integration, system, regression, performance and automation testing.
- Coordinate user acceptance testing, defect management and release-readiness activities.
- Support data migration, reconciliation, cutover and post-implementation stabilisation.
- Work with product, engineering, operations, risk, compliance and third-party delivery teams.
What we are looking for:
- Experience as a Technical Architect, Solution Architect, Enterprise Architect, Test Manager, QA Lead, Test Architect or Quality Engineer.
- Strong experience in one or more of:
- Technical and solution architecture.
- Cloud and platform architecture.
- Systems integration and API architecture.
- Test strategy and test management.
- Quality engineering and test automation.
- Performance, security or non-functional testing.
- UAT, defect management and release assurance.
- Experience supporting complex technology-transformation or platform-delivery programmes.
- Strong stakeholder-management, problem-solving and technical-communication capabilities.
- Experience working across multidisciplinary business, technology and vendor teams.
- Independent consulting, contracting or project-based experience is advantageous.
Preferred background:
We are particularly interested in professionals who have worked on:
- Enterprise-platform implementation, migration or replacement programmes.
- Cloud migration and application-modernisation initiatives.
- Systems integration, APIs, microservices and event-driven architectures.
- Legacy-system transformation and technology-estate simplification.
- Architecture governance and target-state design.
- Test automation and quality-engineering transformation.
- Functional, integration, regression, performance and security testing.
- Data migration, reconciliation and cutover assurance.
- Regulatory, operational-resilience and compliance-driven technology change.
- Digital customer journeys, portals, applications and technology-enabled products.
