Tumaini Consulting is looking for a Solutions Architect for a client in Cape Town. This permanent role suits a senior technologist who can design complete systems, guide delivery teams, and turn business needs into working software. Applications close on 28 December 2026, so interested candidates should apply promptly.
About the company and the work
Tumaini Consulting is a recruitment and staffing agency that places people with client organisations. Its name comes from the Swahili word for “hope”, and the agency says its focus is on delivering quality candidates to clients. In this vacancy, the successful candidate will join the client’s dynamic team as a Solutions Architect, designing solutions that cover applications, integration, security and data.
Role details and duties
The role centres on solution design across the full software delivery lifecycle. The architect will design solutions in AWS, work with APIs, integration, security and data architecture, and build front-end architecture using React, TypeScript and single-page application patterns. A key part of the work is taking ideas from proof of concept through to production, so the role needs someone who can carry a concept past the demo stage and into a live system that people rely on every day. The architect will also engage with business stakeholders, explaining technical choices clearly and making sure the solution fits what the business actually needs.
Requirements
Applicants must have at least 10 years of experience in software delivery, design or the software development lifecycle, including at least 3 years as a Solutions Architect, Application Architect, Technical Lead or an equivalent role. At least 2 years of experience designing solutions in AWS is required, together with practical AI or generative AI experience and experience taking a proof of concept into production. Candidates need working knowledge of APIs, integration, security and data architecture, as well as React, TypeScript and single-page application architecture. A relevant degree, or equivalent practical experience, is required, along with strong communication and business engagement skills. Applicants are asked to send transcripts with their applications.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24 by Tumaini Consulting, and the Apply button on this page links directly to that original advert. Apply only through the original listing, and never pay anyone who promises you this job or asks for a fee to secure an interview. Genuine recruiters do not charge job seekers for applications.
Practical tips
Lead with your architecture experience: show the systems you have designed end to end, especially work in AWS and any AI or generative AI projects you have taken from proof of concept into production. Mention your React and TypeScript work, and prepare a short example of how you explained a technical decision to non-technical stakeholders. Attach your transcripts, as the advert asks for them, and make sure your CV clearly shows the years of experience behind each requirement.
