Architect (5+ years experience)
Rate: £25/hour
The Architect is your seasoned engineer - someone who’s fought production fires, tamed legacy codebases, and still logs off in time for a pub quiz.
When to hire an Architect:
- You need strategic direction, technical leadership, and clean architecture.
- You want to mentor your internal team with best practices.
- You’re scaling fast and need strong hands on the technical wheel.

💬 Tip: Many startups find success hiring a Builder + Pathfinder combo - one lays the bricks, the other brings the spark. Add an Architect, and you’ve basically formed The Avengers (minus the capes, unless you’re into that).
