Job Description:

About the role:

TeamITG requires a talented Solutions Architect help lead a large technical team working on a range of web-based products and tools. Some of these tools are complex logic and product configuration related solutions, while others are bespoke web applications interfacing with a number of services.

The Solutions Architect will act as an internal consultant, advising teams and clients on how best to develop software solutions, sometimes getting their hands dirty and writing or reviewing code when required to solve particularly challenging problems, and building a knowledge base of the software products and services which TeamITG offer.

As a Solutions Architect, candidates must be capable not only of developing software or reviewing code when needed, but also demonstrate a firm grasp of the full Systems Analysis lifecycle: requirements capture, planning, project estimation and software design. Candidates must be able to provide leadership and mentoring of less experienced members of the development team.

TeamITG builds software using Agile (SCRUM) processes, and candidates should also have experience of working within such an organisation.

This role is all about working with others to solve difficult technical challenges. As such the candidate must be able to quickly grasp new programming languages and frameworks in order to support the wide range of technical challenges encountered on each project. The candidate must have exceptional communication skills, both written and oral; and should demonstrate experience of writing technical documentation.

About you:

You are passionate about technology, commercially experienced with the desire and drive to produce the very best work possible - yet pragmatic enough to know that deadlines aren't just a suggestion: so, you make sure that things get done on time too. You are a perfectionist, contribute new ideas and opinions and work well within a busy and thriving development organisation to produce amazing work every time.

Essential experience:

  • Minimum 2 years in a technical leadership / Architectural role
  • Demonstrate a good history of leading both large and small teams
  • Strong written and spoken communication skills
  • Experience of AWS architecture, ideally using Terraform
  • Ability to work with clients and communicate well with non-technical members of the team
  • Ability to plan and estimate projects
  • Strong background in writing technical documentation, planning, and estimates
  • Minimum 5 years Java
  • Minimum 5 years’ experience developing and maintaining client and server side Web Services (REST)
  • Minimum 2 years use of the Spring MVC framework
  • Good understanding of the full software development lifecycle and associated tools such as Git
  • Use of Continuous Integration tools
  • Test driven development (TDD/BDD) and best practices
  • Experience of working in an Agile Environment

Highly desirable:

  • Previous experience of leading a large technical team
  • Product Configurator or BRMS experience
  • C# and .NET experience
  • JavaScript and React experience
