Solution Architects - Future Opportunities

Whether you're an experienced architect or earlier in your journey and looking to grow, you could play a key role in working with IT projects to help deliver meaningful change across Aviva. These opportunities are ideal for people who enjoy building end-to-end solution designs that are fit for purpose from a functional, non-functional, service and security perspective. The focus is primarily on applications and integrations, supported by a solid understanding of the underlying technical infrastructure. You would be part of a wider global architecture practice and contribute to driving, improving and promoting the value of architecture across the organisation. A bit about the role: Depending on your level of experience, responsibilities may include:

• Crafting solutions across Aviva's IT application estate, defining solution architectures and integrations that align to Aviva's technology standards and ambitions for availability, security, resilience and performance
• Supporting, coaching and mentoring less experienced Solution Architects as part of a collaborative architecture community
• Providing leadership on key designs to balance long-term IT roadmaps with short-term delivery needs
• Performing early triage and shaping of IT initiatives to support investment decisions and initial delivery planning
• Producing high-quality design artefacts to support service, security, architecture and engineering teams
  
  A passion for technology and how it can be used to deliver better outcomes for customers
• Strong design and architecture skills, with experience of agile delivery methods (depth and breadth will vary by level)
• Exposure to cloud technologies is desirable, particularly Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• The ability to contribute to business cases and inform key design decisions with sound financial awareness
• Technical experience that may be broad across multiple domains or deeper in a particular specialism
