What you'll do

  • Design and develop comprehensive business and technical architectures for digital solutions to meet business needs, defining measurable non-functional requirements
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to gather and analyze requirements
  • Evaluate and select appropriate technologies and frameworks
  • Create and maintain key architectural artifacts, including Solution Context diagrams, C4 model views, API contracts, data models, threat models, and deployment diagrams
  • Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and reliable
  • Guide development teams during implementation phases
  • Conduct architecture and code reviews to ensure adherence to enterprise standards and secure coding guidelines (e.g. OWASP) throughout the implementation lifecycle
  • Identify and mitigate potential risks and technical challenges
  • Assess and incorporate emerging technologies
  • Provide technical leadership and support to development teams and other stakeholders
  • Define integration patterns (e.g. event-driven, Enterprise Integration Patterns), data flows, and API standards (OpenAPI/AsyncAPI) to ensure coherent and scalable system interactions
  • Incorporate observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and resiliency patterns (e.g., circuit breakers, retries) into solution designs to ensure system reliability and maintainability
  • Support the development of security architectures, including identity management, secrets handling, encryption, and conduct threat modelling (e.g. STRIDE) to identify and mitigate risks

What we're looking for

  • Proficiency in systems and software architecture design
  • Knowledge of cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure, OVH) and ability to design architectures that leverage native services to minimise custom development
  • Knowledge of enterprise applications and middleware
  • Knowledge of microservices architecture and API management (e.g., REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI) to design modular and reusable solutions
  • Understanding of database management systems and data modelling
  • Knowledge of DevSecOps practices and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) to ensure continuous integration and reliable deployments
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Python, etc.
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity principles and standards (e.g., ISO 27001, OWASP, Zero Trust) to ensure secure solution design
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
  • Knowledge of networking concepts and protocols
  • Knowledge of observability and monitoring practices (e.g., logging, tracing, metrics) to ensure system reliability and resilience
  • Knowledge of architecture governance and documentation practices (e.g., decision records, C4 diagrams, architecture reviews)
  • Proven experience with AXON server, KAFKA, Elastic Search
  • Proven experience with an API Gateway - WSO2 API, Amazon API Gateway, Azure API Gateway, Google Cloud Apigee
  • In depth knowledge of CSDR
  • Capacity to collaborate across teams and communicate architectural concepts
  • Skill in simplifying technical architectures into business-relevant language
  • Competence in anticipating future needs and designing scalable solutions
  • Talent for working across teams to ensure integrated outcomes
  • Ability to engage stakeholders to gather requirements and secure buy-in
  • Capacity to adjust architectures to reflect emerging technologies
  • More than 15 years of IT experience
  • Must be an EU national – due to the nature of tasks the candidate will be required to access sensitive data
