Solutions Architect

What is the project, and why should you care?

At BetSymphony, we are embarking on an ambitious project to revolutionize the online gambling industry. Our vision is to develop a cutting-edge gambling platform that will serve as the backbone for multiple different brands, each with its unique identity and target audience. This platform will leverage the latest technologies to ensure a seamless, secure, and engaging experience for users across the globe.

As a Solution Architect on our product team, you will play a critical role in shaping the technical vision and turning it into reality. You will be involved from the earliest stages of product planning through to implementation and scaling, ensuring the architecture supports long-term growth, cross-brand flexibility, and high system performance. Beyond day-to-day project responsibilities, you will also participate in discovery phases and engage directly with future clients to understand their needs, validate assumptions, and help translate business goals into scalable, future-ready technical solutions.

• Participate in project setup, define delivery phases, select technologies, and ensure key engineering processes (design, testing, deployment, monitoring) are properly established.
• Collaborate closely with the Product Owner and the Service Delivery Manager on scope, planning, estimations, and risk mitigation.

Client Engagement & Discovery (Supporting Role)

• Join discovery sessions and technical workshops with current and potential clients to understand their needs and constraints.
• Help validate architectural direction, clarify technical dependencies, and explain solution trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to technical sections of proposals and presentations when needed, especially in ongoing or expansion-stage engagements.

Competence Development (Occasional Contribution)

• Take part in hiring processes for senior technical roles relevant to active projects.
• Contribute to Communities of Practice by sharing lessons learned, best practices, and architectural patterns from the project.
• Support internal initiatives to maintain architectural and engineering excellence, where it aligns with ongoing delivery priorities.
