* Support estimation, planning and delivery as a Technical Leader.
* Collaborate closely with our engineering teams to ensure our solutions are built to reflect your solution vision and make the best use of current development practices.

Why you?
* Excellent knowledge of exploiting at least one major Cloud platform (pref. AWS) for delivery of cloud-native solutions.
* A self-motivated desire to continually learn and improve.
* Exposure to and some experience of working with structured architecture approaches (e.g. TOGAF).
* Experience of working in collaborative teams.
* Experience of Agile / Scrum methodology.
* Working with distributed, off-shore delivery teams.
* Microservice-based architectures using domain driven design (DDD) , CQRS and Event Sourcing patterns.
