About You
You are passionate about technology, commercially experienced with the desire and drive to produce the very best work possible - yet pragmatic enough to know that deadlines aren't just a suggestion: so you make sure that things get done on time too. You are a perfectionist, contribute new ideas and opinions and work well within a busy and thriving development organisation to produce amazing work every time.
The Role
Storyteq (part of Inspired Thinking Group) require a talented Solutions Architect to work on the development of a range of web based products and tools.
The focus for this role is on the development of websites driven by the Adobe Experience Manager CMS.
The Solutions Architect will act as an internal Adobe AEM consultant, advising teams and clients on how best to develop customer-facing digital platforms and experiences, supporting and advising on projects and stakeholders that would like to take advantage of AEM’s capabilities.
This support would be in the form of technical guidance and consultancy on recommended technical and architectural approaches to deliver a range of implementations, whether that is a small/skinny brochure site, through to larger scale more complex projects.
As a Solutions Architect, candidates must be capable not only of supporting software development, but also demonstrate a firm grasp of the full Software Development lifecycle: requirements capture, planning, project estimation and software design.
Many of the projects we take on will involve integrating multiple systems and APIs into a common website, and experience of building and consuming microservices will be key. This could take the form of eCommerce related services, digital asset management, or product database and configurator integrations, for example.
We build software using Agile (SCRUM) processes, and candidates should also have experience of working within such an organisation.
Requirements
This role is all about working with others to solve technical challenges. As such the candidate must have exceptional communication skills, both written and oral; and should demonstrate experience of writing technical documentation.
The candidate we are seeking will have an excellent technical background in building applications for the web preferably with AEM or similar CMS.
Experience in Java, Spring, CSS, HTML and JavaScript is also desirable.
Benefits
On top of a competitive salary, you can expect a whole load of perks:
