ENSO Recruitment are excited to be working with a leading Cyber Security and Threat Intelligence managed services company in Belfast who are currently in high growth mode and seeking to add multiple leadership roles to their team, including an Application and Systems Architect who will be responsible for making key architectural decisions within this growing, local product team.
Our clients services enable some of the world’s largest companies’ security, intelligence, and trust & safety teams to more intelligently defend against and more effectively respond to advanced cyber attacks, disinformation, and abuse of digital platforms - there is never a dull moment with this team and the work they do has many challenging and interesting problems to solve.
What Is The Opportunity / Product?
We are looking for an application and systems architect to lead the design of our clients Platform. The platform supports both fascinating analytical work by their analysts and communication of their findings to their respective clients. The platform consists of a React web UI backed by Python Flask apps running in containers and a modern data architecture, all of which rely on a number of AWS and external APIs and services. While we are looking for someone with experience with our clients technology stack, where you have gaps, you will lean on your track record of quickly coming up to speed on technologies. Further, you will partner with and rely on our capable team including experienced developers in web front end, data, infrastructure. Your job will be as much to guide the team as to design things yourself.
You will chart the technology roadmap to implement the product roadmap. This will involve refining the product backlog to make backlog items ready for development.
You will propose technical solutions, including the objectives and constraints, so developers can efficiently build the solutions. Where required, you will research new technologies for feasibility, cost, and suitability to purpose. After winning buy-in from other development team leaders for your proposed solutions, you will author solution designs and architecture diagrams to guide the team. You will work closely with our clients infrastructure lead, who will design and build out the services to support your architecture.
Our client wants an architect who embraces working as part of a team that respects contributions from all teammates. Our client work in Agile Scrum, and you will be a part of the scrum team. On a daily basis, you will monitor development to see that it is aligned to your vision and adjust your vision as needed. Where it makes sense, especially while the team is small, our client may expect you to write code. As the team grows, you will need to know how and when to take yourself off the critical path. You will report to our clients VP of engineering, and partner with them to ensure the team delivers value to its customers.
