About this role

Realta Associates are hiring two Senior Solution Architects to lead solution design and roadmapping across enterprise IT systems (corporate and operational) for a leading utilities organisation.

We are open to candidates based locally in Ireland as we are to international candidates, and have the capacity to provide sponsorship for those outside the EU/ Schengen area.

This is a high-impact role within a complex, regulated, 24/7 environment — shaping solutions, influencing stakeholders, and driving decisions aligned to enterprise architecture strategy.

You’ll succeed here if you can lead stakeholders, shape solutions, and land decisions.

The role

Own end-to-end solution design and target-state roadmaps across the IT estate
Lead workshops and align business and technical stakeholders
Develop solution options and present trade-offs, risks, and recommendations to governance / Design Authority
Drive decisions across competing priorities (cost, risk, delivery, security, operations)
Ensure alignment with enterprise architecture principles, standards, and strategy
Work across application, data, and integration architecture (with security and operational realities in mind)
Produce clear artefacts (solution designs, ADRs, impact assessments, estimates)

Experience required

Strong experience architecting enterprise IT systems across multiple domains
Proven ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into practical, deliverable solutions
Experience balancing target-state direction with delivery pragmatism
Strong stakeholder leadership — comfortable influencing and “selling” solutions at senior level
Experience in regulated and/or high-availability environments is advantageous
