The Technical Architect will work with developers and other architects to create low-level designs(LLDs). The role includes hands-on low-code/no-code development, and the role holder must also have an understanding of the C# code used in the core product. This role would be ideal for a developer looking to make the move into architecture.
Solutions must be cost-effective, scalable, and supportable, and aligned with Inchcape’s principles, standards, and frameworks.The role-holder will:
• Provide low-level solution designs in response to high-level architectural designs.
• Acquire deep technical knowledge of Inchcape’s key products and platforms.
• Contribute to low-code/no-code development of ancillary products.
• Provide guidance to peers on architectural and developmental best-practice.
• Collaboratively maintain and propose changes to the design, architecture and technology
standards, principles, framework, and guardrails.
• Ensure architectural standards, governance, and principles are implemented effectively by
auditing assigned IT programs, projects, products, and small works.
• Optimise deliverables for business value realisation, considering reusability of solutions,
architectural building blocks, components, and designs.
• Review new and existing designs against standards and principles.
• Ensure relevant processes are standardised, resilient and tested to meet agreed business
requirements.
• Assess new technologies for effectiveness and better cost-to-value for business problems.
Key accountabilities
• Work in collaboration with stakeholder groups, providing technical guidance and support to
ensure the successful and cost-effective delivery of projects.
• Deliver low-level designs as part of defined overall solutions, aligning with architectural
principles and best practices.
• Solution development based on existing technology stack to limit technological creep. The
Inchcape ecosystem is mostly AWS, C# and React. Services are loosely coupled and
integrated mainly through REST interfaces.
• Align designs with business goals and objectives.
• Consider future scalability and integration.
• Identify and assess new technology for potential adoption within ISS.
• Create feasibility studies and proofs of concept for given business problems.
• Management and governance of technology bricks and technical debt, for hardware and software used in production and non-production environments.
