Job description
Warwickshire County Council is looking to appoint two Solution Architects to help guide the future direction of ICT in the council.
About the team
Warwickshire County Council has a dedicated ICT Strategy and Commissioning Service which is responsible for developing our ICT strategy and vision.
The function of the Solution Architecture team is to provide strategic guidance on business decisions about technology. This could be through working on established projects, or through early conversations with business stakeholders about potential areas for development. The architects assess options for achieving business outcomes, engage the right operational ICT colleagues in discussions, and ensure that ICT risk is identified and considered in all conversations.
The Service also manages a strategic commissioning programme which provides a governance framework and reporting capability for the work that the ICT delivery teams do. This enables a data-informed approach to solution design.
About you
Risk management is an important part of the role, and the Solution Architects must be able to provide insight on threats and opportunities when ICT risks are identified. You will have a general understanding of ICT security practices to enable you to ask the right questions about proposed solutions.
The Solution Architects’ remit is consultative and therefore does not require day-to-day operational access to systems. However, you will have a background in ICT Applications or Operations and the ability to draw on this to inform conversations with technical staff.
You will have an analytical mind and to be able to assess the available data for any given question, identify where there are gaps and build an assumption base.
You will work collaboratively with the operational delivery teams towards an agreed outcome. Thoughtful and clear communication skills are essential in this role.
Experience of migration from on-premise to cloud-based datacentre or storage systems would be helpful. This is a great opportunity to support data-informed migration within our application, data and technology domains.
What you’ll be doing
We are using Microsoft 365 across the council. We have transitioned elements of our datacentres to Azure and migrated our existing SharePoint platform from on-premise to online, and we are about to begin the deployment of a Dynamics platform for customer relationship management. We are actively seeking ways to optimise our use of cloud technology.
Over the next year we will be focusing on four primary areas for technological change:
Applications and Technology Baselining and Rationalisation
Business Systems Optimisation
Cloud Adoption
Customer Experience Improvement Projects
As a Solutions Architect you will be guiding ICT through these changes using an architecture-led approach. You will work collaboratively with our technical experts to develop policy and guidance which supports the work.
We will also be developing commissions covering the services that ICT provide to the business, including:
End User Compute
Public Digital Services
Digital Workplace
Core Infrastructure
Security Services
Service Management
You will play an active role in defining and developing these, working with ICT colleagues and with stakeholders across the business.
For further information please see the Job Description and Person Specification.

Oxford, UK
About the role
We are seeking to appoint to an exciting new Full-Stack Development Lead role on a permanent, full time basis. This is a pivotal post within our established and highly impactful IT Team, which has been designed to ensure that our IT and software development operations run smoothly.
As a senior member of the IT team, you will support service delivery by leading, driving and delivering longer-term technical projects to meet deadlines and by maintaining agreed service levels. This new role builds our IT team’s resilience at a senior technical level; you will report to the Head of IT who, amongst other management duties, acts as the overall IT architect and also leads, drives, and delivers various technical projects. As a senior leader, you will also act as a mentor to more junior team members to assist them in developing existing skills and gaining new ones.
This post presents a great opportunity to take ownership of various projects previously overseen by the Head of IT, which could include: maintenance and further development of the departmental website; redesigning and reimplementing the examinations database; and developing various helper and automation scripts for the maintenance and automation of our IT systems. You can find a full list of potential projects outlined in the job description document.
Although you will be primarily based in central Oxford, the department are open to a hybrid working arrangement at typically two days per week from home.
About you
We are looking for candidates who are able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the principles and technical processes of full-stack web application development, including substantial development experience with an expert level in at least one of Python, PHP or Ruby on Rails, and substantial frontend development experience (e.g. using JavaScript, CSS, HTML).
You will have an honours degree or equivalent experience, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, in particular the ability to work very closely with a variety of end users including senior academic and professional services staff, students, visitors and collaborators, and to communicate deeply technical concepts to non-technical audiences. You will be highly self-motivated and enjoy working both independently and as an effective member of a small team, with a light management touch.
We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award, which guide our progress towards advancing racial and gender equality. As part of our strategic aim to improve staff equality and diversity, we would particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates, who are currently under-represented in positions of this type within the department.
Application Process

About the role
We are seeking to appoint to an exciting new Full-Stack Development Lead role on a permanent, full time basis. This is a pivotal post within our established and highly impactful IT Team, which has been designed to ensure that our IT and software development operations run smoothly.
As a senior member of the IT team, you will support service delivery by leading, driving and delivering longer-term technical projects to meet deadlines and by maintaining agreed service levels. This new role builds our IT team’s resilience at a senior technical level; you will report to the Head of IT who, amongst other management duties, acts as the overall IT architect and also leads, drives, and delivers various technical projects. As a senior leader, you will also act as a mentor to more junior team members to assist them in developing existing skills and gaining new ones.
This post presents a great opportunity to take ownership of various projects previously overseen by the Head of IT, which could include: maintenance and further development of the departmental website; redesigning and reimplementing the examinations database; and developing various helper and automation scripts for the maintenance and automation of our IT systems. You can find a full list of potential projects outlined in the job description document.
Although you will be primarily based in central Oxford, the department are open to a hybrid working arrangement at typically two days per week from home.
About you
We are looking for candidates who are able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the principles and technical processes of full-stack web application development, including substantial development experience with an expert level in at least one of Python, PHP or Ruby on Rails, and substantial frontend development experience (e.g. using JavaScript, CSS, HTML).
You will have an honours degree or equivalent experience, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, in particular the ability to work very closely with a variety of end users including senior academic and professional services staff, students, visitors and collaborators, and to communicate deeply technical concepts to non-technical audiences. You will be highly self-motivated and enjoy working both independently and as an effective member of a small team, with a light management touch.
We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award, which guide our progress towards advancing racial and gender equality. As part of our strategic aim to improve staff equality and diversity, we would particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates, who are currently under-represented in positions of this type within the department.
Application Process
If you wish to speak to someone informally about this post, please contact Dr Waldemar Schlackow (Head of IT) [ mailto:waldemar.schlackow@maths.ox.ac.uk ] or Dr Keith Gillow (Director of IT and Physical Resources) [ mailto:keith.gillow@maths.ox.ac.uk ].

About Us We're an award-winning innovative tech consultancy - a team of creative problem solvers. Since 1993 we've been finding better, more sustainable ways to solve complex technology problems for some of the world's leading organisations and delivered solutions that millions of people use every day. In the last 30 years we won several awards, including a prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for our Enterprise Agile delivery approach. Operating from 26 locations across the world, we bring together teams of creative experts with diverse backgrounds and experiences, who enjoy working and learning in our collaborative and open culture and are committed to world-class delivery. We want to continue to grow our team with people just like you! Our platform engineers design, build and monitor the cloud ecosystem, enabling others to do whatever it is they need to do. We see it as a mix of DevOps, SRE and technical design, always with a focus on security, reliability and the other well architected Pillars. About the Role How many times are you willing to perform the same manual task before getting sick of it and automating the problem away? If your answer is between zero and two, we couldn't agree more! Here at BJSS, we're looking for hands-on platform engineers; people who have a passion for automation and the skills to back it up. We work on some of the most interesting projects out there, and work with fantastic people to help deliver them.

We have a great community, built to support each other, so help is never further than a few clicks away. Your priorities will be building new systems and improving stability, security and efficiency, and in some cases, driving culture and process change. We encourage continuous learning; so, in addition to working on interesting projects with interesting people, we'll reward you for every certification you achieve whilst doing so.

About Us We're an award-winning innovative tech consultancy - a team of creative problem solvers. Since 1993 we've been finding better, more sustainable ways to solve complex technology problems for some of the world's leading organisations and delivered solutions that millions of people use every day. In the last 30 years we won several awards, including a prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for our Enterprise Agile delivery approach. Operating from 26 locations across the world, we bring together teams of creative experts with diverse backgrounds and experiences, who enjoy working and learning in our collaborative and open culture and are committed to world-class delivery. We want to continue to grow our team with people just like you! Our platform engineers design, build and monitor the cloud ecosystem, enabling others to do whatever it is they need to do. We see it as a mix of DevOps, SRE and technical design, always with a focus on security, reliability and the other well architected Pillars. About the Role How many times are you willing to perform the same manual task before getting sick of it and automating the problem away? If your answer is between zero and two, we couldn't agree more! Here at BJSS, we're looking for hands-on platform engineers; people who have a passion for automation and the skills to back it up. We work on some of the most interesting projects out there, and work with fantastic people to help deliver them. As a cloud expert, you'll work in small product teams alongside developers, architects, designers, analysts and product owners to design automation, tooling and cloud infrastructure. During your time at BJSS, you'll have the opportunity to work across a wide range of industries and projects, each with their own set of unique challenges and new tech. We have a great community, built to support each other, so help is never further than a few clicks away. Your priorities will be building new systems and improving stability, security and efficiency, and in some cases, driving culture and process change. We encourage continuous learning; so, in addition to working on interesting projects with interesting people, we'll reward you for every certification you achieve whilst doing so.

Productboard is a B2B software company with a simple mission: to help businesses across the world build better, more customer-centric products. When we started in 2014, our focus was to help Product Managers in smaller teams who lacked access to a great product management tool. Today, we are the leading product management platform, helping product management team in large companies with thousands of employees build better products. Today, our target customer needs are more complex, serving multiple personas across Engineering and Product Management. We are making a huge architectural shift in terms of how we scale our product This is where you come in. To meet the ever-growing demands of the enterprise market, we're getting ready to redesign our backend, moving all the business logic from the client to the server. The aim is to make the Productboard platform more scalable and improve the overall experience for our customers - from performance and flexibility to permissions. Let's take a closer look at the challenges that this initiative presents. Performance When one launches Productboard in its current state, all the customer data is fetched into the browser. This includes all the features and insights. All the compute-heavy operations, such as data filtering and aggregations happen in the web browser, at the edge of the end-user's computer. You will help us take the business logic that is currently contained in the frontend client side of the application and move it to the backend, improving the initial load time and the overall application performance. This shift will ensure the data being sent to the browser is the bare minimum needed to render the screen and serve the particular use case being run As you can imagine, this a massive architectural shift in terms of how we build our product, and involves redesigning the back-end to make it more scalable, while providing our customers with data on demand. Flexibility We're aiming to get to a place where customers can build custom workflows that match their product development life cycles and ways of working. We want to make sure our data model is flexible enough to allow customers to define their own hierarchy, define the relationships between entities, and easily slice and dice the data. Permissions Our enterprise customers tend to have complex organizational structures and policies - and it's critical that our permissions system is able to meet their needs. Setting up the appropriate permissions allows product teams to collaborate while maintaining control over their most important or sensitive data. We need to have a system that will allow customers to define custom roles and restrict permissions on all entities, giving them access to only the data they are entitled to see. It's no small task, but for those looking for an exciting and complex tech initiative with a real-world impact, here's your chance. We won't be fundamentally changing our tech stack - we'll be sticking with TypeScript and React.js on the frontend and Kotlin on the backend. But you'll have a big say in how we shape our architecture for the next eight to ten years. About the role As our new Principal Engineer, you'll be joining our Architecture Group led by Ralph McTeggart . The Architecture Group is a diverse team of experienced individual contributors, combining long-time Productboarders and newcomers with valuable experience in other fields. Together, the Group's mission is to enable alignment, consistency, and durability in Productboard's technology infrastructure, with a focus on scalability, security, innovation, and quality. As a core member of this team, you will: Directly influence what our architecture will look like months or years from now Drive technical investment and innovation - and ensure that leadership, support, and expertise are available on major technical initiatives Help decide which technical initiatives make it to our roadmap - and explain to key stakeholders why we are pursuing certain initiatives or directions over others Work closely with cross-functional teams to understand how architectural decisions impact product and design, ensuring that the experiences we're trying to create fundamentally fit the architecture we're trying to build Curate our Engineering Guidelines, which determine how we build our software, what our strategic engineering initiatives roadmap looks like, and the principles that guide engineers in their day-to-day activities and strategic decision-making Help shape our Architecture Group Charter and Rules of Engagement, which determine which aspects of engineering require official sign-off from the Architecture Group - for example, we sign-off anything that goes against our Engineering Guidelines, or any engineering initiative involving significant or multi-quarter investment Communicate the side effects of proposed decisions with key stakeholders, making necessary trade-offs where possible, and negotiating with teams to find a compromise that works for all Hold weekly office hours to enable technical discussion and encourage engineers to raise topics or share concerns that aren't necessarily isolated to their own team or pillar Our Tech Stack: Frontend: TypeScript, React.js Backend: TypeScript/Node.js, Ruby, Kotlin, Kafka Storage: Postgres, Elastic, Redis Data Pipeline: Python, Keboola, Looker, Snowflake Infrastructure: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform About you: You have 10+ years of experience in services, product development, or infrastructure. The ideal candidate has significant software-as-a-product, web scale delivery, database, distributed architecture, and software engineering experience. A strong mentor to junior staff, with the ability to lead and teach others to ensure technical alignment. You have a deep understanding of the fundamentals required to build highly available and scalable services. You understand - and can articulate and lead conversations on - the benefits and associated trade-offs between asynchronous and synchronous processing, various methods for sharding and segmenting services, and how to foresee, plan for, and prevent scaling bottlenecks. You have 5-10 years of design experience with medium to large-scale containerized / Linux operating system production environments, preferably as part of an online service (SaaS) provider environment. You have a solid financial acumen - you should understand the cost trade-offs of various technology decisions. You can demonstrate a solid understanding of cloud technologies and strategies to scale SaaS products, with a focus on reducing operational costs and time to market. You can articulate the value of virtualization technologies, big data systems, cloud platforms, and enabling services. Experience using iterative development fundamentals, including experience with SCRUM, Agile or other iterative approaches. You have demonstrable competency in modern languages and frameworks - e.g. experience with React.js using Typescript, Ruby, Java, Kotlin, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Elastic - Cache / Search, Redis, AWS, or Kubernetes is a plus. Demonstrable experience building, evolving, maintaining, and operating high-volume SaaS products. You can look forward to the following benefits:
