At easyJet Holidays, we are a dynamic and growing Technology Team committed to delivering strategic technology decisions, innovative solution designs, and maintaining architecture information across the organisation. Our architecture team plays a crucial role in the assurance and design of key products, working collaboratively with multiple squads responsible for product development and liaising with key business stakeholders to ensure designs meet their needs.

Your role includes producing high-quality, comprehensive solution design artefacts that demonstrate a balance of different functional and non-functional drivers and requirements.

Additionally, you will document and govern solutions across the customer domain and contribute to wider multi-domain governance across the easyJet Holidays technology landscape.
