Senior Solution Architect (with JavaScript) IRC276970

Description

Senior Solution Architects are senior members of the Technology team , and are critical to the successful delivery of technology solutions to support the various Third Bridge customer-facing business units. They will work collaboratively with product owners, business analysts, engineers and other team members and will be ultimately accountable for defining and designing high-quality technology solutions – built and bought – to support the commercial objectives of those businesses.

Working directly to the Chief Architect, they are jointly responsible for the definition and evolution of the Third Bridge End State Architecture and technology estate. On a day to day basis and in conjunction with other technical stakeholders they will make decisions on solution architecture and technology approach at platform, system and component level, ensuring that the delivery teams they work with take into account the full lifecycle from selection to support, and work within the framework of the End State Architecture.

As seasoned experts in system design and delivery, they have deep experience in successfully designing and delivering systems in complex business domains and are by nature problem solvers and think deeply about getting things done in the right way. They will provide day to day mentoring and support to the more junior solution architects that they work with, challenging and guiding their work as necessary, and will likewise provide feedback and support to other team members such as engineers and product owners as necessary.
