Turning Ambitious Ideas Into Reliable Solutions
Forward Forever is looking for an experienced professional who wants to turn ambitious ideas into reliable, useful solutions and help customers make the right choices along the way. The role brings together business insight, solution architecture and hands-on development. You will help customers discover what is worth building, shape the solution and stay involved in making it real.
From the First Customer Conversation to Deployment
You will work closely with customers to understand their challenges, processes and constraints, and to uncover the real need behind the initial request. Those discussions then become viable opportunities, sound architectural choices and an actionable delivery plan. Depending on the assignment, you may take the work from discovery and solution shaping through implementation, deployment and further development.
Why This Is Not a Purely High-Level Architect Job
The company is looking for someone who can design the bigger picture, document the decisions that matter, and still build or validate key parts of the solution. If you enjoy moving between customer conversations, architectural design and hands-on delivery, Forward Forever says you will feel at home here.

💬 A customer-facing agent
⚡ Intelligent automation
🔧 Modernising an existing solution
🔗 Designing integrations
🏗️ Creating a broader application architecture around Power Platform and Azure
The Microsoft Toolkit Behind the Work
The company's home ground is Microsoft Power Platform and the broader Microsoft cloud ecosystem. Depending on the assignment, your toolkit may include:
📱 Power Apps
🔄 Power Automate
🗄️ Dataverse
🎛️ Copilot Studio
📎 Microsoft 365 Copilot

AI-Assisted Development as Everyday Practice
Forward Forever sees modern AI-assisted development tools as a natural part of good professional practice. The team uses them actively for analysis, development, documentation and testing, without handing over responsibility for technical quality or its decisions.
What You Could Be Working On
The exact mix will depend on the customer and assignment, but your work could include:
🗣️ Leading stakeholder discussions to uncover the real business need and decide what is worth building
📐 Turning requirements into scalable solution architectures, data models, integration designs and practical delivery plans
🛠️ Designing and delivering intelligent applications, agents and automation with Power Platform, Azure and related services
📝 Creating clear architecture diagrams, technical notes and decision records that make assumptions, constraints and trade-offs visible
🧱 Building and validating key parts of the solution yourself, while giving concrete technical guidance to the wider delivery team
🧭 Helping customers make informed choices about feasibility, security, maintainability, lifecycle and good engineering practices
More Than One Route Into This Position
You might currently describe yourself as a solution architect, application architect, technical consultant or senior developer. You may be a Power Platform professional who has worked with complex integrations, Azure services and enterprise application architecture. Or you may come from pro-code software development and have moved towards architecture and consulting.
The Three Perspectives That Matter Most
What matters most to the company is your ability to combine three perspectives:
💻 Technology: You understand how modern applications are designed and built. You can discuss architecture, integrations, APIs, data, identity and security, and you are comfortable going into technical detail.
🤝 Business: You can uncover the actual need behind a request, ask the right questions and help the customer decide what is worth building.
📦 Delivery: You can turn plans, experiments and architectural choices into working, maintainable solutions.
You Do Not Need to Know Every Technology
You do not need to arrive knowing every technology. You do need enough technical depth to make informed decisions independently, recognise risks and learn unfamiliar technologies without waiting for a predefined path. Above all, the company values curiosity, sound judgement and a continuous learning mindset.
