The Solution Architect will lead the architecture and design of the architecture for business critical applications, and the consolidation and migration of multiple legacy systems into a unified cloud based platform.
Specific Duties and Responsibilities
- Be a technology evangelist within technology. You will work closely with the development teams across multiple systems and be able to effectively communicate not just the solution, but best practices around software development, continuous integration and continuous deployment.
- Mentor and coach members of the team to become better technologists.
- Work with other disciplines (e.g. Product Management, Cyber Security, DevOps, Quality Assurance) to collaboratively design new cloud-based applications and micro-services; and extend and enhance existing systems.
- Lead the architecture and design of a hybrid cloud, serverless, micro-services, solution to deliver business-critical solutions. As an architect you will lead on the non-functional “qualities” of the solution – e.g. performance, scalability, availability and robustness.
- Help shape the transition process from legacy systems from a business perspective as well as lead the technical aspects of the migration.
- Be a hands-on contributor to the development practices – e.g. writing code, automation scripts.
- Investigating new technologies, developing proof of concepts and working with teams to understand the feasibility of introducing those technologies.
Position Requirements
- You’ll need demonstrable experience in architecting end to end business solutions in a serverless, micro-services architecture across multiple systems including windows clients, single page application web-based user interfaces and customer facing APIs.
- We operate a hybrid cloud environment, so you need to have extensive hands-on experience implementing solutions in either AWS or Azure, with a desire to be an expert in both.
- Substantial experience with .Net software development, as well as front end development in modern frameworks (e.g. Angular 7, React, Vue).
- Experience with the broader set of technology disciplines outside of software development – e.g. automated testing, cloud/IT operations, cloud infrastructure, networking, cyber security, data architecture.
- We are an enterprise agile team, so experience of agile practices and particularly DevOps is important.
- As we are a globally distributed, English speaking company, so strong oral and written communication skills in English are essential.
- The technology is constantly evolving, and so you must show a curiosity about innovation, and an ability to adapt to new technologies and learn quickly.
These are the skills we’d love to see in an ideal candidate, but so long as you are happy to learn, are not essential:
- Knowledge of Docker, MS SQL Server, Windows Presentation Framework and Windows Communication Framework would be advantageous.
- Migrating data from our legacy systems to the new platform will be a key part of the solution, so prior experience with large scale system migration is beneficial.
- An understanding of business architecture, business process modelling, data architecture and infrastructure architecture would be advantageous.
- Experience with document databases and/or NoSQL technology such as MongoDB or CosmosDB would be great.
- We handle some of our customer’s most valuable data, and have some regulatory concerns, so experience of compliance requirements in Cloud environments (e.g. SOC2, ISO27001, PCI/DSS, GDPR) would be useful.
- We are an intellectual property company, prior experience with Patents or Trademarks would be helpful.
- As we are scattered all over the globe, and VC only gets us so far, there may be a need for you to travel for workshops and meetings, predominantly within Europe, but potentially farther afield.
