About the Job you are considering:
We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect with strong expertise in Banking and Finance who will oversee the planning, execution and successful delivery of projects.
Hybrid working:
The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs and those of the business; it will be a blend of company offices, client sites and home, noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.
Required Skillset:
* Role Overview – Solution Architect streaming ODS Data Modelling hands‑on with deep expertise in Kafka Confluent, MongoDB, AWS APIs and Operational Data Stores. Capable of working seamlessly across high‑level architecture, logical/physical data design and low‑level implementation. Demonstrated ability to deliver immediate impact with minimal ramp‑up; proven experience designing and delivering streaming event‑driven and OD‑centric platforms is essential.
* Strong background in data modelling for streaming and operational systems including event‑driven and message‑based data models, canonical domain‑driven and contract‑first data designs.
* Logical and physical data models for MongoDB and ODS platforms – schema evolution, versioning, data lineage and data quality considerations.
* Accountable for end‑to‑end solution design and delivery, not just architectural oversight.
* Covering data flows, schemas, storage patterns, APIs and integration points. Design, build and validate scalable, resilient and performant architectures ensuring data models are optimised for streaming throughput, low latency and downstream consumption. Lead and execute PoCs, prototypes, solution demos and hands‑on technical spikes to validate architectural and data‑modelling decisions in real‑world scenarios.
* Comfortable transitioning between conceptual and reference architectures. Detailed solution and data designs. Practical implementation guidance and hands‑on contribution alongside engineering teams. Contribute to and support architecture governance including architectural and data design reviews, standards and pattern compliance, design authority approval board submissions.
* Adherence to established architectural and data guardrails. Ensure architecture and data‑modelling decisions align with organisational standards, supporting long‑term integrity of the enterprise streaming and ODS pillar.
* Strong communicator capable of clearly articulating architecture and data‑design rationale to senior stakeholders, engineering teams and cross‑functional partners in a high‑visibility banking environment.
* Operate independently with a high level of ownership managing expectations, resolving design trade‑offs and maintaining alignment across multiple teams and delivery timelines.
