We’re also looking for architects who are as satisfied with their designs as they are the end product, and can problem solve and overcome challenges at every stage of the lifecycle.

Perhaps you enjoy sifting insight from vast sources of user data, rapid prototyping a feature to unravel its feasibility or just conducting a really audacious technical test to solve a problem, all of these things combine with collaboration with our delivery leads and product managers to make bring amazing Digital products alive.

In our team you will learn:

• To use the latest in platform engineering including Cloud technologies like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform
• How technical architecture expertise can contribute to new sales activities, communicating why the architecture designs meet current and future business requirements.
• How to deliver scalable platforms serving millions of users for products with a global reach

In this role you will:

• Lead the end-to-end design of performant, secure, robust and maintainable platforms architectures across evolving technologies
• Support the development and delivery into production of the architecture and coach engineers during delivery using a variety of methodologies
• Analyse and resolve architectural problems throughout the lifecycle of the solution working closely with either agile development and operations teams or in a full DevSecOps model
• Lead technical architecture design and assessment projects at client sites with key client partners
• Cultivate successful, motivated teams across the globe to deliver large transformational technology change for our clients

We are looking for experience in the following skills:

• An ability to communicate design concepts to both deeply technical development teams as well as non-technical staff
• A deep and practical working knowledge of one (or more) of the major cloud platforms
• Solid understanding of key architecture concerns such as security, availability, scalability, operability, maintainability and how to ensure that they are delivered as specified
• Knowledge of and experience applying modern architecture principles and patterns
• Experience supporting operational platforms in high-scale live production environments

Set yourself apart:

• Demonstrable hands-on experience designing, building and maintaining scalable products and platforms
• A track record of using technical architecture and modern engineering principles to improve the end user experience and backend functionality of products and platforms
• Demonstrable experience of upskilling, teaching and running an engineering or architecture team
• Prior experience working with senior technical and non-technical stakeholders on business-critical systems
