Job Description
Solution Architect - National Salary Circa £48,000 London Circa £63,000
At Aviva, we are looking to transform the way in which we engage with our customers, and we are looking for experienced software solution architects to work with IT projects to deliver that transformation.
This is a great job for someone who can build end-to-end designs that are fit for purpose from a functional, non-functional, service and security point of view. Primarily application and integration focused, but with knowledge of the underlining technical infrastructure that supports the solutions.
The post holder will be a key part of a wider global architecture practice and will be passionate about driving, improving, and promoting the process and delivery of architecture (and its value) across the organisation.
The current team are located across our offices in the UK, and we operate a flexible working model, coming in to one of our offices regularly (on average 2.5 days per week).

We're inclusive and welcome everyone - we want applications from all backgrounds and experiences. Excited but not sure you tick every box? Even if you don't, we would still encourage you to apply. We also consider all forms of flexible working, including part time and job shares.
We flex locations, hours and working patterns to suit our customers, business, and you. Most of our people are smart working - spending around 50% of their time in our offices every week - combining the benefits of flexibility, with time together with colleagues.
We interview every disabled applicant who meets the minimum criteria for the job. Once you've applied, please send us an email stating that you have a disclosed disability, and we'll interview you.
