Who are we?

Hyperoptic is the UK's hyperfast broadband provider.

We offer broadband speeds 11x faster than the UK average, proudly setting a new fibre ‘gold standard' with hyperfast speed, reliability and customer service.

Here in Belgrade, we support our UK colleagues in a shared mission: to gigabit Britain. Our office started up in Belgrade in 2013 with what was then 20 developers. Now it's grown into our largest office with more than 800 people.

Whatever we're doing, going beyond the expected is the benchmark.

We work smarter, together, being agile and responding with the speed our business and customers demand – without compromising on quality. We stay focused, performing at our best to ensure we are focused on hitting targets and goals together. And we strive for excellence, paying attention to the detail, constantly seeking to stretch ourselves and find better ways of doing things.

And today we're looking for a Senior Solution Designer who shares these values. Does this sound like you?

Summary of key responsibilities/deliverables

This role focuses on solution designs and impact analyses on the overall business goals and outcomes while constantly having the Technology & Innovation perspective in mind.  A person in this role must have a profound knowledge of available technologies and the existing system architecture to suggest the best solution according to the incoming requirements and existing environments.

What will you be doing?

Analyzing the solution environment

• Mapping both the existing and new (to be introduced) environments, data structures, and the interfaces between them - making sure they are in sync, scalable, future proof, and fit for purpose.

Participating in solution & technology selection

• Build proof of concepts and support the process of getting the projects into the pipeline.
• Enable the 3rd parties to integrate with Hyperoptic systems (e.g., workforce outsourcing).

Collaborating on the solution designs

• Work with the other solution designers, enterprise architects, network engineers, software developers, and external suppliers on detailing the integration & architecture sides of the solution design.
• Produce the solution designs related to both the existing and newly introduced Hyperoptic systems.

Controlling solution development

• Make sure that on a technical level the systems are delivered according to spec.
• Touch base with the suppliers and internal teams on continuous improvements.
• Work with the Quality Assurance and Internal IT teams on preparing the stress test cases and identifying the critical, non-functional, scenarios.
• Coordinate the releases of the integrated solutions making sure the contracts between the systems are always up-to-date and that all the sides are ready for change.

Supporting project management

• Provide support to the Heads of Solutions and Development with stakeholder and supplier management.
• Track the deliverables and help coordinate tasks between the Technology & Innovation teams.
• Prepare the necessary reports for the project managers related to the system delivery.  

What are we looking for?

• At least 6 years of experience in solution architecture, software development, business analyses and/or similar domains
• Stakeholder & supplier management and mentorship experience
• Ability to engage the business and build strong relationships
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Strong interpersonal and presentation skills
• Strong influential and stakeholder management skills
• Strong drive and focus on results and delivery
