Solution Architect

Remote, South Africa

At Digital Forms we help mid-sized service businesses go through digital transformation — part consulting, part building the software ourselves. That mix is the job: understanding what a client actually needs, then designing something real enough to ship.

As a Solution Architect, you're the person who turns messy business problems into a clear technical plan. You'll sit in discovery workshops, dig into the client's existing systems and APIs, weigh up the options, and decide how a new system should be built — then make sure it actually gets built that way.

It's senior, it's client-facing, and it stays technical. You won't disappear into slide decks: you stay close to the code, you talk directly to our clients, and you own your design from the first conversation through to production.
