Applications Solutions Architect

DVT is one of the top software engineering companies on the African continent. Our consultants work alongside some of the most established architects and engineers in South Africa — embedded within leading organisations across mining, financial services, and industrial sectors — applying the latest cloud and AI technologies to deliver measurable business value.

We are seeking a senior Applications Solutions Architect to join our cloud practice, embedded within a large Gauteng-based mining group. This is a strategic technical consulting role — not a cloud engineering or DevOps position. The successful candidate will serve as the design authority for application and cloud architecture across the client's IM Mining Applications portfolio.

Critically, this individual will deploy and operate DVT's Cloud Contour framework as a managed client-facing service — an AI-powered cloud advisory platform that provides continuous cost optimisation, architecture governance, and cloud health insights. The ability to translate Cloud Contour outputs into executive-ready recommendations and client-facing roadmaps is a core deliverable of this role.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned architect with strong technical depth, excellent stakeholder communication skills, and the ability to lead design activities across complex integration landscapes — including mining operational technology (OT) and enterprise application ecosystems.
