Solution Architect  AI-Driven High-Scale Platform

Kafka, SQL, C#, .NET, Golang, TypeScript, AI/ML

Are you ready to architect the next generation of a platform designed to handle millions of transactions per second — while unlocking the power of AI and data intelligence to drive global expansion?

We’re undertaking a full systems transformation of a mission-critical platform, backed by significant investment and international ambitions. This is an opportunity to shape both the core architecture and the intelligent services that will fuel growth for years to come.

We’re looking for a Solution Architect who can combine system design expertise with a forward-looking view on how AI and machine learning can be embedded into modern, large-scale platforms.

What You’ll Do

Define and own solution architecture for a high-volume, distributed platform

Shape AI-ready architectures that enable real-time analytics, data-driven insights, and intelligent automation

Drive event-driven, scalable systems using Kafka, SQL, and cloud-native services

Partner with data and AI teams to ensure infrastructure supports ML model deployment and inference at scale

Guide development standards, architectural governance, and technical direction across teams

Mentor engineers and foster innovation around AI integration and platform modernisation

What We’re Looking For

Proven track record in designing complex, distributed architectures at scale

Experience with event-driven design (Kafka) and high-throughput data processing

Strong hands-on experience in C#, .NET, Golang, or TypeScript, plus SQL/databases

Awareness of AI/ML applications in scalable platforms (e.g., real-time recommendations, anomaly detection, predictive analytics)

Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills

Experience in system rebuilds, migrations, or greenfield platform design is a big plus

Why Join Us?

Hybrid working — Manchester or Staffordshire

Direct influence over architectural decisions, with scope to shape AI-powered capabilities

Be part of a high-growth, international journey, building a platform designed for the next decade

If you’re ready to step into a strategic role at the crossroads of architecture, engineering, and AI innovation, we’d love to hear from you

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.
