• At least 5 years’ experience within a development environment
• Knowledge of design principles and fundamentals of architecture
• Demonstrated leadership/mentoring skills
• Detailed knowledge of the SDLC and management of software projects
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail

What You’ll Do:

Design Fit-for-Purpose Solutions & Algorithms & Planning

• Actively contribute to design and planning meetings, discussions and documentation.
• Design solutions using most appropriate approved architectural pattern.
• Ensure design patterns used are increasing the organizational levels of high-volume transactional performance, resilience, automation and innovation
• Ensure design meets best practices and are Test, DevOps and Support friendly
• Identify and establish objectives for self and team
• Set objectives/goals based on the team’s chosen software development methodology to successfully complete projects.
• Consider all reasonable factors, impediments and obstacles
• Identify potential alternative strategies and refactor approach for maximum benefit within the shortest possible time
• Formulate supporting plans and communicate with others in terms of dependencies and impact
• Publish plan to, peers and stakeholders through agreed methods

Implementation of a Complete, Efficient, and Compatible Solution

• Deliver a complete solution which covers all the agreed specified tasks and user objectives
• Deliver a correct solution which provides the correct results with the needed degree of precision
• Deliver an appropriate solution which facilitates the accomplishments of specified tasks and objectives comprehensively yet excluding unnecessary steps
• Ensure checked in code is reviewed to ensure standards are met and the code base is sound
• Deliver a solution in which throughput rates & response and processing times meet stated requirements
• Deliver a solution in which effective/efficient resource utilization of system resources occurs during operation
• Deliver a solution which ensures the maximum operational capacity requirement is achieved or exceeded
• Deliver a solution which can effectively/efficiently exchange information with other products, systems or components
• Deliver a solution which performs efficiently and can co-exist with other solutions and does not have a detrimental impact on other solutions 

Implementation – Advise on Solution Usability

• Ensure the user/s of the solution can achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction
• Ensure the user of the system can comfortably recognize the systems flow, functions and capabilities of the system
• Ensure the system logically supports user self-learning on how to use the system with effectiveness and efficiency
• Ensure the solution protects the user against making errors
• Ensure the user interface is pleasing and presents a satisfying interaction for the user
• Actions the proposed solution thus ensuring that it is accessible and can be used by people with the widest range of characteristics, capabilities, cultures and languages where appropriate

Implementation – Ensure Solution Reliability

• Ensure the solution performs appropriately under agreed conditions for extended periods of time without the need for intervention (despite potential attacks)
• Ensure all steps are taken to reduce the occurrence of faults due to misunderstood requirements, design errors, and implementation errors
• Ensure the solution is robust and remains continually available
• Respond to outages and failures when and where needed
• Improve fault tolerance even when operational conditions are not optimal
• Ensure complete data recoverability so that data may be recovered, and the desired state of the solution can be re-established (despite potential attacks)
• Ensure the solution is maintainable, and actively seeks methods to reduce down-time
• Ensure the solution is durable so that as user volumes and requirements change the solution can evolve over the long term
• Ensure the solution simplifies support and maintenance support through traceability, and effective error messaging
• Ensure over time, the solution becomes more mature where the interval between the interventions to remain operational become less frequent
• Ensure in the event of a failure reduce effective downtime is to the minimum possible

Implementation – Ensure Solution Security

• Ensure the solution is secure, and confidential by protecting all information and data (also data transmission)
• Ensure persons or other solutions have the degree of access appropriate to their level of authorization and types
• Ensure the solution has high integrity where the solution prevents unauthorized access to, modification of computer programs, data or settings
• Ensure the solution has a high degree of survivability despite 3rd-Party interventions (attacks, human errors, hardware or software faults)
• Employ logs and records so that actions and events can be proven to have taken place, and cannot be disputed/ repudiated later
• Ensure wherever possible actions can be traced uniquely to the entity which performed it
• Ensure wherever possible the identify of an entity can be proved to be the correct one

 Implementation - Ensure the Solution is Maintainable

• Ensure the solution and its relevant code base supports ease of modification for future maintainers
• Ensure the use of appropriate standards and methods
• Ensure where possible (without affecting performance/security) the solution caters for maintenance by support teams rather than developers
• Ensure modularity where the solution consists of discrete components so that a change in one component has minimal impact on other components
• Ensure relevant documentation is provided to support teams to reduce development support burden
• Apply a strategy of reusability so an asset can be used in more than one solution or in building other assets
• Where possible provide a mechanism for the solution to analyze its own faults and provide reports prior to a critical failure
• Develop the solution in a manner which supports modification for future developers thereby reducing the numbers of defects or negatively affecting system quality

Testing, Verification and Deploying

• Ensure the solution is test friendly by creating effective mechanisms for test data, automated testing hooks and simulations
• Ensure the solution is delivered completely and with the additional assets which are required to make installation/deployment as seamless and easy as possible
• Ensure the adaptable solution delivered is appropriate for different or evolving hardware, software or other operational usage environments

Respond to Outages & Failures

• Provide proactive support to Peers, Testing, Dev Support and Operational teams so number of escalations to the development team is reduced, thereby maximizing development time
• Provide support to the Dev Support when required during operational events and create or assist with the creation of SOP’s
• Be available to handle emergency outages and failures for your or your teams’ solutions
• Perform trouble shooting and effectively resolve issues to increase solution stability and reduce intervention required over time
• Recommend and execute approved improvements to development methods and solutions
• Provide quick resolutions to app/system issues, driving stability, efficiency and effectiveness
• Maintain solutions which have completed development and are in the operations phase
• Develop technical support documentation and where possible/necessary, maintain the documentation.
• Assess risk and impact of production issues/changes and take appropriate steps to mitigate risk

Coaching/Mentoring

• Provides guidance, training, and problem-solving assistance to other Team Members
• Mentors and contributes to the growth of junior and intermediate Team Members
• Designs and delivers end-user training and training materials
