YOUR JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and Implement Microservices Architecture: You'll leverage your deep understanding of domain-driven design principles to architect a scalable and maintainable microservices ecosystem. This involves identifying bounded contexts within the business domain and structuring microservices around them to ensure loose coupling and high cohesion.
• Develop Translation Plan for Legacy Microservices: You'll lead the effort to modernise legacy microservices by developing a comprehensive plan that outlines the steps needed to transition them into well-defined microservices. This includes assessing existing services, identifying dependencies, and strategizing the migration process to minimise disruption to ongoing projects.
• Guide Project Teams in Microservices Development: Working closely with project teams, you'll provide guidance and direction on how to develop business features within the appropriate microservices. This entails understanding the business requirements, aligning them with existing microservices, and advocating for the reuse of existing components to foster consistency and reduce redundancy.
• Oversee Microservices Development Lifecycle: You'll be responsible for overseeing the entire microservices development lifecycle, from design and development to testing and deployment. This involves ensuring that best practices are followed at each stage, addressing technical challenges, and fostering collaboration between cross-functional teams.
• Design APIs and Integration Patterns: With a strong understanding of API design principles and integration patterns, you'll design APIs that are aligned with resource-oriented architecture and promote interoperability between microservices. You'll also implement integration patterns such as REST API, event-driven architecture, and queueing patterns to facilitate communication between services.
• Manage Stakeholders and Ensure Alignment: You'll actively manage stakeholders, including senior leadership, RTEs, architects and development teams, to ensure alignment with the target state architecture. This involves communicating the rationale behind architectural decisions, quantifying deviations from the target architecture, and mitigating risks to project delivery.
• Apply Governance Techniques: Drawing on previous experience with governance techniques, you'll make decisions that are aligned with enterprise principles and architectural and engineering design standards. This includes establishing policies, procedures, and guidelines for microservices development, APIs and Events as well as enforcing compliance through automation, regular audits and reviews.
• Mentor and Coach Senior Resources: You'll leverage your expertise to mentor and coach senior resources, helping them to enhance their skills and navigate complex architectural challenges. This involves providing guidance on best practices, facilitating knowledge sharing sessions, and fostering a culture of continuous learning within the organisation.
• Prioritise Customer and Colleague Needs: You'll demonstrate a strong commitment to customer and colleague satisfaction by prioritising their needs in every decision-making process. This includes actively seeking feedback, soliciting input from stakeholders, and advocating for solutions that deliver tangible value to end-users.
• Automate Governance Processes: With a focus on efficiency and scalability, you'll automate governance processes by creating enterprise reusable pattern libraries and integrating them with build pipelines. This ensures that integration standards are enforced consistently across projects, reducing manual effort, and improving overall productivity.
