Digital Solution Architect

Two Circles Ltd • TRAFFIC • London, Not Specified, United Kingdom • 1d ago

We are Two Circles. We are a Sports & Entertainment Marketing business. We grow audiences and revenues. We do that by knowing fans best. We work with clients to help them understand & influence what their fans are doing - the way fans spend their money, the events that fans attend, the channels fans respond to, the content fans watch and more. And we use the understanding this gives us to help our clients grow. Grow their audiences and grow their revenues - both direct to consumer and business to business revenues.

Our platforms and services are trusted by over 900 clients globally, including the English Premier League, Red Bull, UEFA, VISA, the NFL, Nike and Amazon. We are almost 1000 people, based out of 14 offices, and we deliver work for sports and entertainment businesses of all shapes and sizes all over the world.

Role

We are seeking a dynamic and versatile Digital Solutions Architect who blends strategic architectural thinking with a hands-on engineering mindset. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on shaping technical solutions that drive real business impact while also staying close to the code and technical problem-solving when needed.

The ideal candidate will act primarily as a Solutions Architect - collaborating with clients, consultancy teams, and internal stakeholders to design scalable, future-proof solutions across digital, data, and MarTech domains. However, this individual should also be comfortable getting hands-on in engineering scenarios, whether it's during critical build phases, technical troubleshooting, or prototyping new concepts.

You will be a key contributor across pre-sales, discovery, solution design, and delivery phases - taking ownership of architectural artefacts and ensuring technical excellence throughout the project lifecycle. This role requires strong communication skills, a sharp understanding of modern tech stacks, and an ability to bridge business needs with technical execution.

Requirements

Collaborate with consultancy and business development teams during pre-sales phases to understand client requirements and propose high-level technical solutions.
Assist in creating estimations, delivery models, and proposals that align with client budgets and timelines.
Support demonstrations and presentations with a clear focus on translating technical ideas into business value.

Solution Design & Delivery

Translate business requirements into architectural designs and actionable technical documentation.
Design robust, scalable, and maintainable digital solutions across web, mobile, data, and MarTech ecosystems.
Take ownership of high-level designs, low-level designs, integration specifications, and build oversight.

Client Collaboration & Delivery Execution

Participate in workshops and discovery sessions to capture functional and non-functional requirements.
Engage with client-side developers and product owners to ensure alignment on technical implementation.
Provide architectural support during the delivery lifecycle including build oversight, integration, testing, and deployment.

Engineering & Hands-On Capability

Provide hands-on support during critical phases of delivery, including prototyping, technical troubleshooting, and code contributions when needed.
Collaborate closely with engineering teams to guide implementation, unblock issues, and ensure architectural integrity is maintained throughout.
Bridge high-level design with real-world engineering execution, bringing practical insight to technical decision-making.

Quality & Security

Support code and solution reviews to ensure best practices in performance, security, and maintainability.
Contribute to the creation and use of reusable components, solution templates, and documentation standards.

Libraries and Frameworks: React, Next.js, Node.js, .NET

Testing: Vitest, Playwright, Pact, K6

Infrastructure and DevOps: GitHub Actions, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform

While familiarity with our full technology stack is desirable, it is by no means required.

Required Skills & Experience

Proven experience in solution architecture, technical leadership, or senior engineering roles.
Prior hands-on engineering experience is a must, with demonstrated ability to contribute to codebases and solve complex technical challenges.
Strong understanding of modern software architectures (e.g., microservices, APIs, serverless).
Experience with one or more cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
Strong working knowledge of web and mobile technologies, RESTful APIs, and front-end/back-end development patterns.
Excellent understanding of software development methodologies, DevOps practices, and CI/CD pipelines.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex ideas for technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

Experience with platforms like Braze, Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, Contentful, or Sitecore.
Experience across technology domains including CMS, CRM, Martech platforms, data pipelines, analytics, and cloud services.
Exposure to CDPs (e.g., Bloomreach, Segment, BlueConic, Tealium) and data integration pipelines.
Understanding of data modelling, ETL processes, and basic analytics or BI tools like Power BI or Tableau.
Experience in the sports, entertainment, or fan engagement domain is a strong plus.
