Senior Software Architect

Description

• Identify and resolve defects: Work closely with developers to identify, document, and resolve software defects. Use bug tracking tools to manage and prioritise issues.
• Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines: Set up and maintain continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines to ensure efficient and reliable software delivery.
• Integrate security into the CI/CD process: Implement security checks and controls at every stage of the pipeline to ensure secure software delivery. Use tools to perform static code analysis, vulnerability scanning, and compliance checks.
• Develop and execute test plans: Assist in the creation of comprehensive test plans and test cases to ensure that software meets quality standards. This includes functional, regression, performance, and security testing.
• Implement features and enhancements: Collaborate with product managers and other developers to implement new features and improve existing ones. Participate in design discussions and provide input on technical feasibility and best practices.
• Develop APIs and microservices: Design and implement APIs and microservices to support the platform’s functionality. Ensure that APIs are secure, scalable, and well-documented.
• Conduct code reviews: Review code written by other developers to ensure it meets quality and security standards. Provide constructive feedback and suggest improvements.
• Continuously improve processes: Identify and implement improvements to development and testing processes to increase efficiency and quality. Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and emerging technologies.
• Automate testing processes: Assist with the drive to automate much of functional, regression, and performance testing. Ensure that automated tests are integrated into the CI/CD pipeline and run regularly.
• Design and develop software solutions: Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code for our platform and applications. This includes developing new features, fixing bugs, and optimising existing code.
• Optimise for performance and scalability: Design and implement solutions that can dynamically scale to meet varying demands and ensure high performance and availability. Use profiling tools to identify performance bottlenecks and optimise code accordingly.
• Participate in agile ceremonies: Engage in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives to ensure effective and efficient development cycles. Collaborate with team members to refine requirements, estimate tasks, and plan sprints.
• Ensure security by design: Integrate security best practices into the development process to ensure that software is secure from the ground up. Conduct regular code reviews and security assessments to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work closely with product managers, and other developers to deliver high-quality software solutions. Foster a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing within the team.
