You will be responsible for working with our Product Owners and business stakeholders to design solutions that put the best possible foundation into place for Evoke and our future growth. 

You will be comfortable in supporting all aspects of the architecture role in Agile delivery, through planning, design, implementation, testing, releasing and feedback.

• Your focus on the customer will drive out the core set of needs to influence your designs
• These will incorporate process changes across multiple domains including security, operations risk, audit, compliance
• We'll rely on your guidance on opportunities for technical adoption supporting our business targets
• Working in partnership with Product Owners, Engineering Managers and Developers, you'll make sure teams can realise the architecture and understand the approach by flexing your communication style to suit the audience
• You’ll be responsible for the architectural design, governance adherence and stakeholder engagement for all your solutions
• Raise and resolve any architectural issues/risks that could have implications against the security model or would be detrimental to the delivery of our services
• Engaging and directing any ‘Proof of Concept’ or prototyping of solutions
