Solutions Architect

About DizplaiAt Dizplai, we transform passive audiences into active communities that drive culture, conversation, and commerce. We partner with Premier League clubs, global motorsport organisations, Olympic sports federations, leading broadcasters, and multi-million subscriber creator networks across sports and entertainment, helping them turn attention into lasting commercial value.

By combining creative consultancy, interactive technology, and data-driven insights, we help unlock the full commercial potential of audiences. We're at the forefront of the shift where platforms are the new networks, creators are the new media companies, and fans want to belong, not just watch.

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Solutions Architect to join Dizplai at an exciting stage of growth.

This isn't a traditional architecture role. You'll work across Product and Engineering to explore new ideas, solve complex technical challenges and turn ambitious concepts into scalable, production-ready solutions.

You'll also bring:

Strong software engineering background with experience delivering production systems

Deep knowledge of modern software architecture and cloud-native design

Hands-on AWS experience

Experience building APIs, integrations and distributed systems

Ability to build prototypes and technical proof of concepts

Experience working closely with Product teams during discovery

Excellent stakeholder communication skills

Curiosity about AI and practical experience using AI within software delivery

Bonus points

Java and JavaScript

Serverless and event-driven architectures

You'll thrive if you:

Enjoys solving difficult technical problems

Are hands-on and enjoys writing code

Thrives in fast-moving environments

Thinks commercially as well as technically

Collaborates naturally across engineering, product and commercial teams

Loves learning and exploring new technologies

Can influence through expertise rather than authority

We're a creative, ambitious technology business embracing an AI-first future, giving you the opportunity to influence both the products we build and the way we build them.

If you're looking for a role where you'll have genuine technical influence, solve meaningful problems and help shape the next generation of our platform, we'd love to hear from you.
