About the role
To design, develop, and implement solutions to complex business problems, collaborating with stakeholders to understand their needs and requirements, and design and implement solutions that meet those needs and create solutions that balance technology risks against business delivery, driving consistency.
Responsibilities:
- Design and development of solutions as products that can evolve, meeting business requirements that align with modern software engineering practices and automated delivery tooling. This includes identification and implementation of the technologies and platforms.
- Targeted design activities that apply an appropriate workload placement strategy and maximise the benefit of cloud capabilities such as elasticity, serverless, containerisation etc.
- Best practice designs incorporating security principles (such as defence in depth and reduction of blast radius) that meet the Bank’s resiliency expectations.
- Solutions that appropriately balance risks and controls to deliver the agreed business and technology value.
- Adoption of standardised solutions where they fit. If no standard solutions fit, feed into their ongoing evolution where appropriate.
- Fault finding and performance issues support to operational support teams, leveraging available tooling.
- Solution design impact assessment in terms of risk, capacity and cost impact, inc. estimation of project change and ongoing run costs.
- Development of the requisite architecture inputs required to comply with the banks governance processes, including design artefacts required for architecture, privacy, security and records management governance processes.
Qualifications:
- Possess excellent architectural design skills, including API strategy, integration patterns, and ability to align technical solutions with business objectives.
- Have strong expertise in Java-based enterprise application design, including performance optimisation and modular architecture principles.
- Demonstrate hands-on experience with event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka, including stream processing and high-throughput messaging patterns.
- Be proficient in container orchestration with Kubernetes, ensuring scalability, resilience, and secure deployments.
- Show practical knowledge of workflow automation and BPM platforms such as Camunda, with ability to integrate process orchestration into distributed systems.
