Job Description
As a Business Solutions Architect, you will help us define, and execute against, our vision for global expansion and architectural design across the Evoke Trading Platform. You will be responsible for working with our Product Owners and business stakeholders to design solutions that put the best possible foundation into place for Evoke and our future growth.
You will be comfortable supporting all aspects of the architecture role in an Agile delivery through planning, design, implementation, testing, releasing, and feedback. You will be hands‑on when needed and drive adoption through practical application rather than excessive documentation. Though you will focus on delivery within the Trading & Trading Tech departments, there is opportunity and autonomy to drive good solutions design, sound architectural practices, and a consistent approach across the whole of Evoke. Whether our goals are commercially led, business driven, or technically focused, you will be the key evangelist of your supporting solutions and the benefits provided.
What you will be doing
- Ensure that all designs meet the business needs, are clearly articulated, meet our standards of quality, and are well communicated outside of your architecture peers so that our teams clearly understand the why and the how, not just the what.
- Focus on the customer to drive out the core set of needs and influence your designs, incorporating process changes across multiple domains including security, operations risk, audit, compliance, etc.
- Provide guidance on opportunities for technical adoption supporting our business targets. Work in partnership with Product Owners, Engineering Managers, and Developers, ensuring teams can realize the architecture and understand the approach by adapting your communication style to suit the audience.
- Be responsible for the architectural design, governance adherence, and stakeholder engagement for all of your solutions.
- Maintain a strong customer focus, ensuring regular communication and accurate reporting.
- Raise and resolve any architectural issues or risks that could have implications against the security model or would be detrimental to the delivery of our services.
- Engage and direct any Proof of Concept or prototyping of solutions.
Who We Are Looking For
- Experience as a solution architect, technical business analyst, or principal developer looking for your next adventure.
- A passion for solution design and depth of technical knowledge, such as REST, AMQP, JSON, Avro, TLS, and related technologies.
- A well‑rounded technical repertoire covering software design patterns, infrastructure design, business and process analysis, messaging systems, data stores, web‑based systems, and what makes it all tick.
- A drive for solving problems at enterprise scale in a near real‑time environment where data moves every second of every day and cannot stop without significant business impact.
- Practical experience of UML design and business modelling tools such as ArchiMate would be a benefit but is not a deal breaker.
What we offer
- Family Support: Industry‑leading maternity and paternity leave and paid time off for caring responsibilities.
- Perks and discounts: Discounts at a range of high‑street retailers.
- Financial compensation, pension, and bonus schemes.
- Health & wellbeing: Tools and services to support well‑being, including mental health and financial education, gym discounts, and a cycle‑to‑work scheme.
- Hybrid working: Employees can work from home up to 80% of the time, with 20% of office time built in for face‑to‑face collaborative team time.
