Psybergate is an IT company that builds bespoke software solutions and provides highly skilled resources to its clients.
We are looking for a Solutions Architect (Contract) to join our financial services client based in Centurion.
What you will be doing:
- Own end-to-end solution architecture for assigned domains (e.g., claims, policy, digital engagement, integration)
- Translate business requirements and target architecture principles into coherent solution designs spanning process, application, integration, and data layers
- Produce high-level design artefacts including process flows, application interactions, API contracts, data flows, and integration patterns
- Partner with business stakeholders to shape solution options and translate operating model changes into system implications
- Ensure domain solutions align with API standards, event architecture, and security patterns
- Define service boundaries, validate integration approaches (sync vs async), and drive reuse of shared services
- Design workflow at solution level, ensuring decision logic is externalised and straight-through processing is viable
- Participate in design reviews, review vendor and squad solution outputs, and identify risks early
- Collaborate with peer architects to prevent siloed designs and maintain architectural coherence
What we are looking for:
- 7–10 years’ experience in solution design or architecture roles
- Experience delivering enterprise applications in financial services (insurance preferred)
- Strong understanding of API-based integration, process orchestration platforms, data modelling, and cloud-native environments
- Experience in transformation programmes and modernising legacy platforms in brownfield environments, including:
- Modular decomposition
- Strangler patterns
- Anti-corruption layers
- Transitional architectures
- Incremental migration strategies
- Ability to operate across business and technical stakeholders with structured problem-solving, strong documentation, and pragmatic decision-making
- Familiarity with Domain-Driven Design principles, event-driven architecture, BPM/workflow orchestration, and non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, security)
Please note that if you do not hear from us within 3 weeks, consider your application unsuccessful.
