About us

ZIRA Group is a company of passionate professionals dedicated to building advanced IT solutions. With nearly three decades of experience, we continuously develop and implement technologies that drive progress locally and globally. By combining expertise with a global outlook, we tackle challenges head-on to create a meaningful impact, both within our team and for our clients.

Join our team as a Solution Architect!

We believe in trust, collaboration, and accountability. Our people work together toward shared goals, supporting one another along the way. Thanks to the dedication of our team, we’ve recently secured new accounts and taken on exciting projects, and we’re growing fast.

If you're looking to shape end-to-end architectures, influence product evolution, and ensure technical excellence across domains and deployments, this is the place for you.

As a Solution Architect at ZIRA, you will define and govern end-to-end technical architecture across products, domains, and customer deployments. You will translate business strategy, product roadmaps, and non-functional requirements into scalable, secure, and future-proof architectures, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and long-term product vision.

You will provide architectural leadership across projects, guide Senior Solution Designers, validate solution designs, and ensure consistency across systems, integrations, data, and the overall technology stack. Acting as the final architectural authority for cross-project decisions, you will ensure delivered solutions remain aligned with approved architectural principles.


Note:
Applications are closing March 18, 2026.
