Software Architect - .NET / Automation Systems

WCS Software ArchitectOverviewWe are seeking a hands-on Software Architect to play a key role in shaping and evolving a mission-critical Warehouse Control System (WCS) used in highly automated logistics environments. This platform sits at the heart of real-time operations, orchestrating material flow across conveyor systems, integrating with PLC controls, robotics (AMR/AGV), and upstream enterprise platforms such as WMS and ERP.This is a highly technical position where you will set architectural direction, make critical design decisions, and remain close to the code and engineering challenges. You will work alongside an existing architecture function to scale capability as the platform transitions to a modern .NET / Blazor-based ecosystem from its current Python/Django foundation.Key ResponsibilitiesArchitecture and Technical LeadershipDefine and evolve the architecture across application, data, messaging, and deployment layersLead the design of complex features and subsystems, producing clear design artefacts and architecture documentation (including ADRs)Make key technical decisions across persistence, messaging, caching, and integration patternsEnsure solutions meet non-functional requirements including performance, scalability, availability, and securityTroubleshoot and resolve complex system issues, including concurrency, bottlenecks, and integration failuresSystems IntegrationOwn and define integration patterns between the WCS platform and external systems including ..... full job details .....
