Solutions Architect

Bilue is a digital consultancy that designs and builds smart, user-friendly technology for some of Australia’s most well-known businesses. From mobile apps to beautifully designed web platforms and digital experiences, we create solutions that drive impact and deliver exceptional customer outcomes.

Our culture is people-first and purpose-driven. We’re a down-to-earth, values-led team with offices in Sydney and Melbourne, and a growing presence in Manila. We genuinely enjoy working together, whether we’re solving tough tech problems, brainstorming creative solutions, or grabbing a coffee between meetings. Curiosity is encouraged. Collaboration is second nature.

We value excellence, not ego, and back each other to do great work without micromanagement. With low politics and high trust, it’s a place where delivery people, designers, and engineers genuinely connect, and where everyone has a voice, space to grow, and a little fun along the way.

We’re looking for an Architect with strong data expertise to help us design scalable, intelligent systems that make the most of customer data. You’ll work across personalisation, analytics, and customer data platforms (CDP), helping our clients connect the dots between technology, insights, and experience.

This role suits someone who can zoom out to see the whole system, but also zoom in to understand how data flows, how it’s modelled, and how it can power better user experiences.

• Stay current on emerging technologies and evaluate their fit for client needs.

About You 

• You’re fluent in modern data platforms, pipelines, and cloud architecture.
• Proven track record designing cloud-native solutions (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
• You know your way around CDPs (e.g. Segment, Tealium, Salesforce CDP) and understand how they fit into broader ecosystems.
• Strong pre-sales experience: leading pitches, crafting proposals, estimating projects, and presenting to executive stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills—able to translate complex technical concepts into clear business value.
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and modern deployment strategies.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• Strategic thinker with strong business acumen and a consultative mindset.
• Confident presenter with polished interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust quickly.
• Collaborative team player who thrives in fast-moving, client-facing environments.
