Job Description
Looking to Escape the Hustle and Bustle of City Life?
Imagine building high-impact digital platforms – from a beautiful rural location, with a relocation bonus to help make it happen.
If you’re an experienced Technical Architect or Software Architect ready for a fresh start in a quieter part of the UK, this could be your perfect move.
Our client is offering a full-time, permanent position , based 2–3 days a week onsite in a rural UK location – far from traffic jams, noise, and high living costs. To support this move, a relocation package is available to help you transition smoothly into your new lifestyle.
This is a rare chance to combine career-defining work with a more relaxed, balanced way of life.
Why This Role is Great
Shape the technical future – Lead architectural decisions that underpin the next of high-traffic ecommerce and subscription platforms.
Get hands-on when it counts – Roll up your sleeves when needed, but operate at a strategic level too.
Guide the stack evolution – From CMS migrations to payment integrations, you’ll work across the tech landscape.
Mentor and inspire – Support a small in-house team, embedding strong DevOps, testing, and agile principles.
Deliver real-world impact – Contribute to platforms that are used and relied on by millions of people across the UK.
What You’ll Be Working With
You’ll take ownership of major projects, including:
Designing scalable architecture across AWS and .NET environments
Leading a CMS migration to a new version of Kentico
Building and modernising subscription models , ecommerce journeys, and complex pricing structures
Integrating with platforms like Stripe and wider business applications
Ensuring performance, security, and maintainability across all technology layers
About You
This role is ideal for a current Software Architect, Technical Architect or Senior Developer/Tech Lead looking to step into a broader, more strategic role.
Your experience might include:
Strong background in .NET, C# and AWS architecture
Experience with ecommerce or subscription platforms
Solid understanding of scalability, cloud infrastructure , and user-centric design
A collaborative, mentoring approach to team leadership
Comfort working with senior stakeholders to influence direction
A pragmatic mindset and ability to make smart architectural trade-offs
Even if your background isn’t a perfect match for every bullet point, if you bring relevant experience and a strong architectural mindset, we’d love to hear from you.
The Location & Lifestyle
This role is based in a rural part of the UK , within easy reach of countryside walks, peaceful views, and a healthier pace of life. It’s a refreshing change from the typical city-centre tech roles – offering space to breathe and think, without sacrificing meaningful, challenging work.
You’ll need to be onsite 2–3 days a week , so a willingness to relocate is essential – but you’ll be supported in doing so with a relocation bonus to make the move as smooth as possible.
Salary & Benefits
Competitive salary of £80,000 to £120,000 (depending on experience)
Relocation support to help you settle in
Generous bonus scheme and company pension
Cashback healthcare plan
Free membership to a local leisure and golf club
Cycle to Work scheme
