Solution Designer

Our consultancy client is looking for a number of experienced Solution Designers to work on a large scale project for a client of theirs. You will produce solution designs that articulate details in the architecture to guide implementation by the squad and elicit low-level details to guide in areas that are significant from a design perspective. Ratify designs & decisions with the architecture to ensure that direction is aligned with technical vision and guide the squad during the implementation of solution designs, providing an escalation point for questions & issues. Working with the solution architect to remediate issues that block design / implementation progress you will analyse changes being made to the architecture and assess the impact these have on the solution design. Participate in workshops to ensure there is consistency in design across products in the portfolio and work with solution architect to shape options to feed into key decisions that are required. Interpret agreed patterns to establish the components and interactions required in the solution design and iidentify risk and work with the team to find ways to mitigate, ensuring that these are visible across the team.

You will possess in-depth knowledge and experience of delivering solutions using a variety of AWS services and any knowledge and experience of Azure would be beneficial but not essential to the role as is experience working with solutions that have been delivered onto containerised platforms. Previous work on a developing a portal or knowledge aggregator site would be an advantage and exposure to application development lifecycles would help understand the domain which the products & services sit. Experience with modern architectures such as APIs, microservices and event streaming is required with a familiarity working in an environment using Agile delivery methods and teams using DevOps principles.
