About The Role
Are you a seasoned Microservices Engineer looking to take the next step into Solution Design? This is a unique opportunity for a senior or lead-level engineer to expand into architecture and design, contributing to enterprise-scale solutions while maintaining hands-on technical depth.
In this role, you'll collaborate closely with Solution Design Leads, Architects, Developers, and Project Managers to ensure solution alignment with enterprise architecture. You'll be instrumental in bridging the gap between business requirements and scalable technical solutions while progressively stepping into more formal design and architectural responsibilities.
This role will suit someone who is a hands-on backend or microservices engineer who is ready to transition toward solution design and architecture. You're technically strong, comfortable working across the full SDLC, collaborative, and thrive in enterprise environments where stakeholder alignment and long-term thinking are key
Responsibilities
Clients Come First
We obsess over our clients; they mean everything to us and are central to everything we do. We take the time to understand them, so we can deliver outstanding experiences and create moments of WOW.
We Celebrate Our Differences
We are stronger and more successful when we include and appreciate different backgrounds, ideas, and experiences. Diversity helps us be more creative, solve problems better, and achieve more. By valuing everyone's unique contributions, we create a cohesive workplace where everyone can thrive and grow.
Achieve Greatness Together
Business is a team sport, and we are here to win. We respect, value, and inspire each other to bring our best to raise the bar. We will high-five you when you've nailed it and have honest discussions when you don't.
Own Your Space
We own our space, relationships, and client outcomes. We are fully committed and accountable to ourselves and each other; we deliver what we commit to. We adopt a commercial outlook and expect everyone to think and make decisions like we are the CEO.
Encourage Open Debate
We encourage discussion and debate while relentlessly focusing on our overarching vision and purpose in line with our core values; the outcome each and every time is a total commitment to execute what has been decided.
Have Fun, Go Nuts
No explanation is required, have fun, go nuts.
We also believe that the unique contributions of everyone at Trideca is the driver of our success. To ensure that our products and culture continue to embrace everyone's perspectives and experiences, we never discriminate based on race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability. We are passionate about creating a workplace that fosters active participation and provides an equal playing field, where merit and accomplishment are the sole criteria for success. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. We celebrate the diversity of our workforce and are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and included.
