Our Financial Services Technology Consulting team are looking to hire a Technical Solutions Architect based in Sydney or Melbourne. Key duties of the role are:
• Define solution architectures and designs as part of software development lifecycle. This might include new “green fields” development or changes to existing system landscapes. • Lead teams and provide thought leadership on solution options, technology choices and delivery approaches.
• Drive solution evaluation and selection including buy vs. build decisions, and early-phase project estimates which contribute to business cases. • Provide consulting during the detailed design, build, test, and deployment phases. • Work with key project roles (e.g., delivery managers, tech leads, project managers, business analysts, etc.) and organisational roles (e.g., enterprise architects) to ensure solutions are aligned to the enterprise architecture and meet business needs.
• Help our clients to understand and work through ways to resolve technology challenges. • Gain opportunities to support large-scale change and transformation. • Build your skills in technology management consulting. • Shape your career with EY’s global methodologies and networks.
Essential skills for the role are:
• 5+ years’ experience in a Tech Lead / Solution Engineer / Digital Solution Architect or similar role: designing, developing, and supporting solutions across one or more application domains. • Hands on experience working as part of agile engineering teams providing detailed technical leadership. • Strong leadership, communication, and analytical skills. • An ability to distil complex information into a clear and concise understanding. Including the ability to functionally decompose problems – identify how different functional needs will be met by a technology solution. • Ideally, you will have the ability to operate a different level of abstraction – from technical architecture design through to architecture strategy definition. • Good working knowledge and/or certification in current cloud-based technologies and solution patterns (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP, REST, APIs, Data and Analytics Platforms).
• Experience in building microservice and event-based digital solutions. • Experience in product selection and working with software vendors. • Solid understanding of financial services business and how technology solutions can support business outcomes.
• An ability to produce quality project management and/or technical documentation. • Confidence to engage and collaborate with a range of stakeholders. • Knowledge and capability around contemporary development methodologies such as Agile/Scrum, DevOps, and other continuous delivery concepts.
