About the role

You’ll own the technical architecture for the foundational phase. You’ll define the target architecture, data model, integration approach and non-functional requirements, and run targeted proofs-of-concept that give the build a solid, evidenced footing.

Key responsibilities

• Define the target architecture and technology stack for the system
• Design the first-phase data model — structured, queryable and built to extend as the system grows
• Define the integration approach across CRM (HubSpot), finance (Xero) and the manufacturing platform
• Specify non-functional requirements covering security, resilience, backup and performance
• Design and run technical spikes and proofs-of-concept (API behaviour and version-locking, platform fit, configurator and bill-of-materials generation)
• Author the technical specification for the first build phase and outline the architecture for the phases ahead
• Design the foundation so future capability such as rendering automation and AI-assisted design can be added cleanly later
• Collaborate closely with the product manager and manufacturing / ERP SME

Essential skills and experience

• Solution and technical architecture across integrated business systems (CRM, ERP and finance)
• Strong data modelling
• Integration architecture and API design (REST, webhooks, versioning)
• Open-source delivery stack such as Node.js, Python, React and PostgreSQL
• Architecting CPQ, configurator or bill-of-materials-driven systems
• Designing and delivering proofs-of-concept to validate technical approach

• Writing clear, build-ready technical specifications

Desirable skills and experience

• Manufacturing and ERP platforms such as Katana, Odoo or MRPEasy
• HubSpot and Xero APIs
• Architecting for phased, agile delivery
