Lead the evolution of a mission-critical .NET ecosystem

Overview

You will be an experienced Software Architect embedded in a multi-year digital transformation programme for a large New Zealand-based global customer. This is a deeply application-focused, engineering-led architecture role.

Important: this is not a cloud landing zone or enterprise platform architecture role. Your domain is the application — clean design, integration patterns, code quality, and long-term maintainability across a mixed .NET estate that spans legacy .NET Framework 4.x through to modern .NET (up to .NET 10), hosted primarily on Microsoft Azure.

You will define the technical direction, own the path from legacy to modern, design the API and integration layer, and be the engineering authority the team and customer both rely on. Mentoring the engineers around you and defending your design decisions in front of customer management are as important as the architecture itself.
