Solution Architect - Backbase

Solution Architect

We seek a Solution Architect with Backbase experience to join our team! When you join Aequilibrium, you get to be a part of a fun and agile company driving innovative change in FinTech and VR. We’re looking for a strong team member who wants to contribute to our incredible culture, make a meaningful impact on client deliverables, and work collaboratively with an award-winning team. 

Who You Are

• As a Solution Architect, it’s your job to ascertain that envisaged solutions become reality. 
• Taking this client-facing role, you are equally comfortable in deep-dive technical workshops and in board-level sales presentations. 
• Having earned your stripes in designing web-based architectures, you have no problem finding the scope in large-scale, complex projects.
• To the development team, you are the vital mainstay during implementation processes. To customers and partners, you are the expert liaison with a keen sense of their needs. So, besides being a great technician, you are also a considerate companion who delivers remarkable results continuously.
• You will be part of the development team and fulfill a leading role that can only be gained through excellent performance. 
• Talking highly specific technical details and discussing general business outcomes, you comfortably translate customer requirements into a distinguished design.
• You dedicate yourself to security, deployment, performance, caching, sizing, scalability, and serviceability.
• You know our projects will be delivered according to briefing, time, and budget, but you also know our technicians need their space to build the solutions you’ve defined. By creating structure and clear explanations, you guide and oversee your team.
• Also, part of the job involves creating technical architecture documentation, working with the QA lead to define the test strategy, leading DevOps to define and implement CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring that implementations meet non-functional requirements. You will travel a significant amount of the time, spending time on-site during the inception phase and when providing training and workshops.

Must-Have Qualifications:

• Your knowledge of the Java platform exceeds our expectations;
• Have created solutions for financial services (especially banking);
• Experienced in Spring, Maven, and Jenkins;
• You have a demonstrable understanding of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), as well as Micro-Services Architecture;
• JavaScript frameworks, MVC patterns, and principles of REST APIs, ideally including RAML and/or OpenAPI, are second nature to you;
• When we ask you about architectural frameworks, you easily dig up your knowledge and best practices;
• You have professionally worked with Enterprise Integration Patterns and Frameworks;
• And let’s not forget your broad, operational knowledge of application servers, databases, load balancers, and other infrastructure components required to deploy web applications in a highly available and scalable environment;
• Last but not least, you have excellent communication and presentation skills in English..

Nice to Haves:

• Experienced working with the Backbase platform;
• Have experience with Portal/Web Content Management;
• Are familiar with architectural patterns, such as Microservices, CQRS, and event sourcing;
