## Job description

## About the job

The job in short

As a Solution Architect, it’s your job to ascertain that envisaged solutions become reality. Taking this client-facing role, you are equally comfortable in deep-dive technical workshops, pre-sales efforts and in board-level sales presentations. Having earned your stripes in designing scalable web & mobile based platforms, you have no problem finding the scope in large-scale, complex projects.

To the development team, you are the vital mainstay during processes of implementation, being a hands-on technology leader. To customers and partners, you are the expert liaison with a keen feel for their needs. So besides being a great technologist, you are also a considerate companion who delivers remarkable results on a continuous basis.

Meet the job

You will be part of the development team in which you will fulfill a leading role to go from idea to production. Talking highly specific technical details as well as discussing general business outcomes, you comfortably translate customer requirements into a distinguished design. You dedicate yourself to security, performance, scalability and reliability that enables a great user experience.

You know our projects are to be delivered according to briefing, time and budget, but you also know our technologists need their space to build the solutions you’ve defined. By creating structure and clear explanations, you provide guidance and oversight to your team. You’re a hands-on architect who partners closely with engineering leads to design, build and run scalable solutions. You take ownership not just in shaping the architecture, but also in how it performs in production - leading from the front in critical incidents and driving resolution when it matters most.

Also part of the job is creating detailed technical architecture assets; working with the QA lead and DevOps to help shape the end to end SDLC; ensuring that implementations meet non-functional requirements. Note that beyond the project, you help in elevating our delivery hub practices by creating technical blueprints, solution accelerators and ways of working assets with a continuous improvement mindset.

You will be traveling a significant amount of the time, spending time on-site during the inception phase and when providing training and workshops.

How about you?

- You have professionally worked with Enterprise Integration Patterns and Frameworks;
- When we ask you about architectural frameworks, you easily dig up your knowledge and best practices;
- You have experience with CI/CD practices and platforms
- You have experience with scalable Web application development as well as Mobile App delivery
- You have a demonstrable understanding of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), as well as Micro-Services Architecture;
- You know JavaScript frameworks, MVC patterns and principles of REST APIs (OpenAPI), are second nature to you;
- Considerable full-stack development experience
- Your knowledge of the Java platform exceeds our expectations
- You have excellent communication and presentation skills in English
- Strong leadership skills with a proactive approach in engagements
- You are self sufficient as a Solutions Architect and able to manage clients/stakeholders;
- And let’s not forget your broad, operational knowledge of application servers, databases, load balancers and other infrastructure components required to deploy web applications in a highly available and scalable environment.

We will be extra happy if you:

- You have created solutions for financial services (especially banking);
- You are familiar with cloud-native architectural patterns, such as Microservices, CQRS, event sourcing;
- You have experience with server virtualization and containers technology such as Docker and Kubernetes;
- You have Solution Architecture experience on and Azure/AWS Cloud
- You have professionally used Integration Platforms and API Gateways

## Products & Services
