Fractional CTO, YunoJuno
FRACTIONAL CTO JOB · HUMAN RESOURCES SERVICES SECTOR · UNITED KINGDOM
YunoJuno is seeking a fractional senior solutions architect for a well-scoped 5-day SaaS platform architecture engagement. The project is a greenfield production-architecture phase for an infrastructure/construction sector platform with a validated prototype; scope is crisp (architecture, security, spec only—no implementation). Ideal for an independent fractional CTO or senior architect adding a short, high-impact project to a portfolio.
The balanced verdict
- Explicit fractional/interim framing and 5-day duration—no ambiguity on commitment
- Clear, bounded scope — architecture & specification only, not open-ended delivery
- Detailed tech stack and feature list; well-researched requirements suggest serious planning
- Professional deliverables list (diagrams, threat model, GDPR, scalability roadmap) indicates respect for quality
- Remote-only, independent contractor model suits fractional practitioners
- No day rate or budget disclosed; negotiate explicitly upfront
- 5 days is aggressive for the full scope (SaaS architecture, security design, GDPR, threat model, implementation-ready spec); clarify timeline and phasing
- IR35 status unstated—confirm contractor vs. employment classification before engagement

This engagement is for architecture, security design, and technical specification only.
Proposed Technology Stack The current technology approach includes: FlutterFlow (mobile and web applications) Xano or similar managed backend PostgreSQL database AWS cloud infrastructure GitHub for source control
We're open to alternative recommendations where they provide clear benefits in security, scalability, maintainability, or cost.
Key Platform Features The platform will include: Worker and contractor registration Project and site management Digital inductions and daily briefings Site attendance and access records Competency and certification management Document and RAMS acknowledgements Incident and near-miss reporting Photo and document uploads Dashboards and reporting Role-based access control Mobile and web access Offline capability for low-connectivity sites (preferred)
Future integrations may include SSO, access-control systems, third-party contractor platforms, and AI-powered functionality.
Scope of Work The successful contractor will: Review the existing prototype and workflows Validate or recommend improvements to the proposed architecture Design a secure multi-tenant SaaS architecture Define the data model and permissions structure Design authentication and API architecture Recommend AWS services and infrastructure Define file storage, backup, logging, and disaster recovery Assess offline synchronisation requirements Identify technical risks and platform limitations Produce a detailed development-ready technical specification Create a roadmap for scaling from pilot to enterprise deployment
Deliverables The final package should include: Solution architecture document Architecture and data-flow diagrams Multi-tenant data model User roles and permissions matrix Security architecture API and integration design AWS infrastructure recommendations Backup and disaster recovery strategy Threat model and security risk register GDPR considerations Scalability roadmap Technology recommendations Development standards and implementation guidance
Documentation should be suitable for developers to use for implementation and estimation.
Required Experience Applicants should have proven experience with: Multi-tenant SaaS architecture AWS cloud solutions Secure API design PostgreSQL or similar databases Mobile and web application architecture FlutterFlow, Flutter, Xano, Supabase, or similar platforms Identity and access management (RBAC) Security, audit logging, and GDPR compliance Offline-first application design Enterprise or infrastructure-related systems
