Solution Architect – Digital & Customer Platforms

An established New Zealand financial services organisation is continuing to evolve its digital platforms and is looking for an experienced Solution Architect to help shape that journey.

This is an opportunity to influence the architecture behind digital experiences used by customers and internal teams. You’ll work across mobile and web applications, APIs, cloud services and enterprise integrations, helping connect the wider digital ecosystem.

This isn’t an architecture role where you’ll produce designs and step away. You’ll remain close to delivery, partnering with product managers, engineers, designers and business stakeholders to turn ideas and customer needs into secure, scalable and practical solutions.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take ownership of solution architecture across key digital platforms, supporting teams to make sound technology decisions from early discovery through to delivery.

Your work will include:

• Shaping the architecture of customer-facing mobile and web experiences

• Designing scalable APIs and integration patterns

• Connecting modern applications with complex core and legacy systems

• Translating customer and business needs into clear, practical solution designs

• Guiding engineering teams through technical decisions and delivery challenges

• Ensuring solutions are secure, resilient, accessible and built to perform

• Strengthening architecture standards, patterns and ways of working

• Balancing immediate delivery priorities with longer-term technology strategy

The technology environment

You’ll work across a modern and evolving digital landscape that includes:

• React Native mobile applications

• Angular web applications

• Microsoft Azure

• APIs and enterprise integrations

• Microservices and modern architecture patterns

• Agile product and engineering teams

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for an experienced Solution Architect or a senior technical professional already operating at an architecture level who understands how successful digital products are designed and delivered.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Five or more years of experience in solution architecture or a comparable senior technical role

• Strong experience designing customer-facing digital platforms

• Proven capability across API design, management and integration

• Experience connecting digital applications with complex enterprise or legacy systems

• Practical knowledge of React Native and Angular environments

• Experience designing cloud-based solutions, ideally within Microsoft Azure

• A solid understanding of microservices and modern integration patterns

• Knowledge of security, privacy, accessibility, performance and resilience

• A strong understanding of software engineering and delivery practices

• Experience working alongside Agile product and engineering teams

You don’t need to have every answer on day one. What matters is your ability to navigate complexity, ask the right questions and bring people together around solutions that can genuinely be delivered.

About you

You’re pragmatic, curious and comfortable working beyond the diagrams.

You can move between strategic architecture conversations and detailed technical discussions without losing sight of the customer outcome. You enjoy collaborating with engineers and product teams, explain complex ideas clearly, and know when to challenge, influence or find a practical way forward.

Most importantly, you’ll be motivated by the opportunity to shape connected digital experiences within an environment where your decisions and contribution will be visible.

• Design Layer 7 firewall controls, context-aware policies, IPS uplift, DNS security and centralised policy management.

• Define secure hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity patterns across AWS, Azure and GCP.

• Develop standards for shared VPC/VNet environments, private endpoints, hub-and-spoke networks, cloud-to-cloud connectivity and hybrid DNS.

• Improve SD-WAN and branch segmentation, including NAC integration, device posture and the separation of user and machine traffic.

• Establish network security telemetry covering firewall, proxy, DNS, flow and ZTNA data.

• Support security monitoring, dashboards, detection use cases, automation triggers and forensics-ready logging.

• Design automation for firewall requests, policy lifecycle management and broader network security operations.

• Produce architecture decision records, standards, implementation guardrails and delivery-ready backlog items.

• Test security controls in live environments before publishing them as organisational standards.

• Clearly communicate residual risks, control gaps, compensating controls and delivery trade-offs.

• Work directly with cyber, architecture, engineering, operations, risk, service management and vendor teams.

Technology environment

You may work across technologies including:

• Check Point firewalls and IPS

• Netskope Proxy, DLP and ZTNA

• Illumio segmentation

• Akamai DNS and security services

• Cisco Nexus and Catalyst

• F5 BIG-IP and WAF

• AWS, Azure and GCP native firewalls

• Kubernetes networking and security

• Terraform and policy as code

• SIEM, network telemetry and AIOps platforms

Experience across every listed product is not required; however, you will need strong enterprise network security architecture experience and the ability to work confidently across a varied technology landscape.

What you’ll bring

• At least eight years’ experience in security architecture or senior network security engineering.

• Five or more years working with enterprise network security, ZTNA, segmentation, firewalls, proxies, DNS or cloud networking.

• Experience within financial services, critical infrastructure or another highly regulated environment.

• Proven delivery of enterprise-scale ZTNA, network segmentation or Zero Trust initiatives.

• Strong hybrid and multi-cloud network security knowledge.

• Experience producing reusable architecture patterns, standards and implementation guardrails.

• The ability to translate strategy and regulatory requirements into practical technical controls and measurable outcomes.

• Hands-on experience with Terraform, policy as code or network security automation.

• Strong consultation and communication skills across engineering, cyber, risk, operations and executive stakeholders.

• A pragmatic “yes, if” mindset that enables delivery while keeping solutions within risk appetite.

• The confidence to sign off designs, defend recommendations at architecture review and manage exceptions pragmatically.

Certifications

Relevant certifications may include:

• CISSP, CCSP, SABSA or equivalent security architecture experience

• AWS Advanced Networking – Specialty

• Microsoft Azure Network Engineer Associate

• Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer

• Check Point CCSE

• Cisco security or networking certifications

• Netskope, Illumio, F5 or Akamai certifications

Strong, clearly demonstrated enterprise delivery experience may substitute for formal certifications.

Why consider this role?

This is an opportunity to influence a significant security transformation while remaining close to delivery. You will help shape how Zero Trust, segmentation, cloud connectivity and network security automation are implemented across a large and complex enterprise environment.

If you are a delivery-focused Security Architect who can combine deep network security expertise with practical stakeholder engagement, we would love to hear from you.
