Role Overview
We're looking for a Lead Architect to shape the technology behind our Gas & Power Trading International (GPTI) business. This role sits across the full trading landscape - from front-office systems to back-office processing, data platforms, integrations and infrastructure.
You'll take ownership of the technology roadmap, with a strong focus on the Endur (ION/OpenLink) platform and how it connects with the wider system landscape.
This is a senior individual contributor role. You'll work closely with product teams, programme leads and senior stakeholders (including front office) to ensure our technology is aligned, scalable and fit for the future.
You'll play a key role in modernising our estate - moving from legacy systems to more cloud-based and hybrid solutions - while keeping performance and reliability at the level required for real-time trading.
We're also looking for someone who can spot opportunities to improve how we work, including the use of AI, automation and smarter workflows.
In this role, you'll produce and guide key architecture outputs such as system designs, decision records, integration patterns and target-state architectures. You'll help ensure everything meets our standards and is aligned with wider enterprise architecture.
