Description
My client requires a Digital Technical Architect whose main Duties and Responsibilities will be:
- Provide hands-on technical leadership, in the development, operation and ongoing improvement of complex, transformational digital services serving millions of users;
- Work with product managers to understand user needs for new and existing services;
- Act as the technical authority in prospective, information gathering and scene setting meetings, evaluate technical proposals from external suppliers, and make implementation recommendations to senior stakeholders; Identify key API requirements for integration with internal and external systems;
- Lead development of user-driven prototypes to identify technical options and inform architectural approaches, working with colleagues and supplier team members to write tests, code and documentation for new and existing systems;
- Ensure system architectures are robust, scalable, open and secure, with appropriate overall system design and integration points/APIs, to deliver a high-quality user experience.
Skills
Significant relevant experience with several modern technologies and database types. My clients major platform uses MarkLogic No-SQL databases, Orbeon form-builder, Java, XQuery, XPath, Jaspersoft (BI) and integrates to SAP. Experience in some of these technologies is a must. Experience with all is beneficial, but I'd expect a Tech Arch to have the ability to research technologies they aren't familiar with. A good communicator and agile experience is desirable.
