Chief Digital Architect

Bank of London is looking for a Chief Architect to create solutions to our biggest challenges and provide direction to our engineering teams. This is an individual contributor role reporting directly to and working closely with the Chief Technology Officer. Our technology organisation has approximately 30 colleagues, plus a number of third party suppliers, and whilst leadership is expected from the successful candidate, this is not expected to be position with line management responsibility in the first instance. We are a small dynamic company where architecture work has been until now been carried out by the Engineering teams, but given the significant investments in new business capability that are planned, this new role has been created to provide the required capacity to shape major initiatives and provide designs for both internal and third party engineering teams to consume. The role will be based in our London office near Bank, but may involve occasional travel to Belfast and Vilnius, our other strategic locations. Technical experience is also expected, and the successful candidate is expected to have good knowledge across software, data, infrastructure and security architecture, but the primary skill set is solution architecture and creating end to end solutions that consider all aspects of the design. Our technology is all cloud based, with internally developed channel applications hosted on AWS, and with 3rd party hosted core banking and payments engine. Hands-on doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be a ninja software engineer, but you’ll be expected to be writing documents, drawing diagrams, mapping fields, as well as building software prototypes, writing SQL statements, calling APIs, or whatever else might be needed to figure out how to solve problems pragmatically. Leadership skills and credibility to drive decision making and building consensus London (5 days per week in the office) · Travel to other locations may be required on occasion.
