Produces architecture documentation, guides developers, reviews designs, and collaborates with development, infrastructure, and business stakeholders to ensure maintainable implementation.
Summary Generated by Built In
Design scalable, secure and maintainable enterprise software solutions. The role needs a strong development background,
with the architect comfortable across application architecture, cloud, integration, infrastructure and distributed systems. The
right person has come through Java development, not an infrastructure-only path.

- consuming teams.
- Set the Azure architecture for the solution, covering hosting, identity, networking and operational fit, and align delivery
- with Azure DevOps.
- Design data access against relational databases and SQL, including how services share and own data.
- Put CI/CD and containerisation (Docker) into the delivery design so builds, releases and environments stay repeatable.
- Build security into the design: authentication, authorisation, secrets, and how services talk to each other.
- Produce architecture and design documentation that developers, infrastructure and business stakeholders can use.
- Work with development, infrastructure and business teams to translate requirements, challenge weak designs, and keep
- delivery on the agreed architecture.
- Guide developers on implementation choices and review designs so the solution stays maintainable as it scales.
