Solutions Architect

Permanent | Full-Time | Sydney CBD | Hybrid (2 Days On-site)
Higher Education Sector

This is not a layered enterprise with teams of architects and developers sitting underneath you.

This is a lean, high-impact environment where your architecture decisions matter, and where you will personally own end-to-end solution design across multiple domains.

We’re partnering with a Sydney CBD-based higher education organisation seeking a Solutions Architect to join a small, capable technology team delivering critical transformation initiatives across student, finance and enterprise platforms.

The Opportunity

You will take ownership of solution design from discovery through to delivery – operating across applications, infrastructure and data.

Key programs include:

• Uplift and re-architecture of Student Management Systems (SMS)

• Student portal modernisation in a complex integration landscape

• CRM and finance system enhancements

• Broader enterprise integration and platform improvements

You’ll work closely with business stakeholders, vendors and operational teams – translating requirements into scalable, implementable solutions.

What Makes This Role Different

• Small, lean team – no junior architects underneath you

• No large internal development function – solutions must be practical and executable

• High ownership and visibility

• Broad domain exposure (applications, infrastructure, data, integrations)

• Genuine opportunity to influence architecture frameworks and standards

This is a role for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats and thrives in environments where adaptability and technical credibility are essential.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years’ experience as a Solutions Architect

• Strong hands-on engineering background (Senior Engineer level prior to architecture)

• Ability to clearly step through solutions you have personally designed and delivered

• Experience across integration, DevOps and enterprise platforms

• Strong documentation capability (HLDs, LLDs, options papers, decision artefacts)

• Proven ability to translate business requirements into technical design

• Experience applying structured architecture frameworks (TOGAF preferred)

• Confidence operating without large support structures

Why Join?

• Permanent, full-time stability

• Hybrid working (2 days on-site in Sydney CBD)

• High-impact architecture ownership

• Broad transformation exposure across critical enterprise systems

• A role where your technical depth truly matters

If you’re a pragmatic, adaptable Solutions Architect who wants real ownership – not just governance – we’d love to speak with you.
