Are you ready to architect the future of mobility? We’re on the hunt for a visionary Solution Architect to lead the charge in transforming our Connected Car platform. This is a rare opportunity to shape cutting-edge consumer-facing applications that blend real-time vehicle diagnostics, IoT innovation, and mobile-first design – all within a fast-paced, cloud-native environment.

If you thrive at the intersection of technology and strategy, and bring deep expertise in architecture, connected car ecosystems, and modern frameworks like React and Flutter, this role offers the chance to make a tangible impact. Join us in redefining how drivers interact with their vehicles – smarter, safer, and more connected than ever.

What will I be doing?

  • Architect and evolve our Connected Car platform, integrating OBD-II devices and real-time diagnostics.

  • Provide architectural guidance across the development lifecycle, mentoring teams on cloud-native and mobile-first strategies.

What do I need?

  • Strong demonstrable experience within Architecture, with a strong track record in consumer digital platforms.
  • Connected Car / IoT experience is essential – you’ve architected platforms involving hardware integration, telemetry, and real-time analytics.
  • React and Flutter expertise – you’re fluent in modern mobile/web frameworks and know how to build responsive, user-centric applications.
  • Deep understanding of AWS cloud architecture, microservices, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong grasp of security best practices, compliance standards, and scalable design principles.
