SUMMARY:
Software Architect with strong cloud and AWS skills required for an expanding software company based from Glasgow, with remote working options
POSITION INFO:
Software Architect with strong cloud and AWS skills required for an expanding software company based from Glasgow, with remote working options.
The company:
They are a Glasgow based software company, operating for over 20 years. They develop SaaS Cloud solutions and have customers worldwide, with a current emphasis on growth and recruitment. Even through Covid-19, they have continued to grow the team and expand and are still doing so - it''s a real focus.
Their product is a large-scale data platform used to improve medium to large scale company''s business processes and ultimately helping to provide accountability. Their platform is now used worldwide with customers in the UK, US and Asia.
The reason for the growth is two-fold. Firstly, they have secured substantial investment amidst new client wins. Secondly, they are re-writing their award-winning platform and require an Architect to help with this transition and to continue on the already high standards. The Architect is not the only current hire they are looking for, with two Senior Developers and a Senior Front-End Engineer a focus of theirs. This is in addition to the 35 staff already in the Product Development function.
They are a flexible and remote-first organisation, with a hub in Glasgow and another down south. You have the option to work remotely the majority of the time, with it required to be in the office for meetings roughly every 2 months. Of course, if you prefer to be in the office, there is that option too (when allowed).
The role:
You will be the first Architect into the Product team and will solely be focusing on the new platform. The current architecture is undertaken by a mix of the Tech Lead and Development Manager and you will take on this responsibility. With this transition, they are looking to adopt a microservices approach and to also improve their efficiency, so are looking for an individual comfortable doing this.
You''ll be working across multiple cross-functional and Agile teams and primarily working on AWS, as well as the latest tools and technologies. You''ll be involved in the full product lifecycle, from generating ideas to technical design to deployment. The role initially won''t hold line-management responsibilities; however, this may come a little later down the line.
Ideal background would be:
** Experience architecting scalable SaaS applications on AWS
** Strong System Design and creation of technical requirements on major software systems
** Development of product roadmaps
** Having worked alongside vendors to develop relationships in order to continue to work with latest technologies
Technologies used across teams:
**.Net (MVC, C#, .Net Core)
** SQL Server / Entity Framework
** Cloud Services (AWS or Azure)
** Microservices
This is an opportunity to join an already established, and growing software house working on the latest tech. They''re looking to utilise the most modern frameworks and architecture and you will play a big part in it.
