Birmingham, United Kingdom Storyteq Group Full time

Our Digital Engineering team at Storyteq are responsible for building world class, enterprise grade digital applications for high profile brands. We pride ourselves in working with mature Agile methodologies and make use of the latest versions of technology. Our teams are structured in such a way that gives every employee the opportunity to learn new skills, work on various projects over time and see the results of your efforts in the online consumer marketplace. Joining the Digital Engineering function would see you work as part of a cross-functional, product style team, generally consisting of a Business Analyst, Scrum Master / Project Manager, Solution Architect, Lead Developers (FE and BE), Developers, and Testers (Manual and Automated).

About You

You are passionate about technology, commercially experienced with the desire and drive to produce the very best work possible - yet pragmatic enough to know that deadlines aren't just a suggestion: so you make sure that things get done on time too. You are a perfectionist, contribute new ideas and opinions and work well within a busy and thriving development organisation to produce amazing work every time.

The Role
Storyteq (part of Inspired Thinking Group) require a talented Solutions Architect to work on the development of a range of web based products and tools.
The focus for this role is on the development of websites driven by the Adobe Experience Manager CMS.

The Solutions Architect will act as an internal Adobe AEM consultant, advising teams and clients on how best to develop customer-facing digital platforms and experiences, supporting and advising on projects and stakeholders that would like to take advantage of AEM’s capabilities.

This support would be in the form of technical guidance and consultancy on recommended technical and architectural approaches to deliver a range of implementations, whether that is a small/skinny brochure site, through to larger scale more complex projects.

As a Solutions Architect, candidates must be capable not only of supporting software development, but also demonstrate a firm grasp of the full Software Development lifecycle: requirements capture, planning, project estimation and software design.

Many of the projects we take on will involve integrating multiple systems and APIs into a common website, and experience of building and consuming microservices will be key. This could take the form of eCommerce related services, digital asset management, or product database and configurator integrations, for example.

We build software using Agile (SCRUM) processes, and candidates should also have experience of working within such an organisation.
  • Provide technical support business analyst by both attending meetings with customer and supporting solution design within discovery and ongoing projects.
  • Analyse and propose options for technical solutions based on provided business requirements.
  • Gather Technical and non-functional requirements and advise on impacts to solutions.
  • Technical architecture design
  • Prepare high level designs to share with customer
  • Prepare technical documentation to guide development teams
  • Support project manager and scrum master in providing high level estimates
  • Validate and work with the teams to ensure these estimates are realistic and completed to specification and time alongside project management.
  • Collaborate with Project management and business analyst on roadmap planning
  • Working closely with development teams during design and implementation phases and supporting where necessary with particularly difficult solution implementation
  • Act as an interface between the development and third party infrastructure teams to analyse, optimise and help with issue triage (at a high level.) on the platform.
  • Technical governance and code review.
  • To be considered for the role, candidates must have commercial experience with either HTML/JavaScript or Java experience in full software development life-cycle with strong logical/problem solving skills.


This role is all about working with others to solve technical challenges. As such the candidate must have exceptional communication skills, both written and oral; and should demonstrate experience of writing technical documentation.

The candidate we are seeking will have an excellent technical background in building applications for the web preferably with AEM or similar CMS.

Experience in Java, Spring, CSS, HTML and JavaScript is also desirable.

On top of a competitive salary, you can expect a whole load of perks:

  • 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays – we understand the importance of you getting some down time.
  • Annual Wellbeing Day – enjoy an additional day on us to look after your physical and mental wellbeing.
