Person Specification Essential A systems thinking mindset and the ability to see the big picture - how changes in one part of a sociotechnical system (people, process, technology, governance) affect others, to reason about emergent behaviours in complex environments, and to make trade-offs accordingly leading to iterative, outcome-focused, and effective change towards a strategic vision. Comfort with ambiguity and complexity is essential. Demonstrated leadership experience in a technical, solution, or infrastructure architecture role, with a background in either software engineering or enterprise architecture, acting as a recognised expert to guide, critique, and support teams. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distil complex and nuanced information into clear, concise messaging at all levels, from specialist developers through to non-technical executive leadership, developing mutual understanding and trust to drive consensus and reach decisions. Experience assuring services in a complex technical estate through effective risk management and technical governance, both within your own teams and across commercial engagements with third parties. Practical knowledge of modern application architectures (e.g., microservices, APIs, web frameworks, data persistence technologies or event driven architecture in public cloud environments) Experience in introducing and championing best practices such as agile development, domain-driven design (DDD), test-driven development (TDD), continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and DevOps, fostering high-quality engineering culture within teams.
