Job Description

At NEC Software Solutions our Technical Architects undertake many diverse activities creating technical architecture designs for corporate and customer solutions, collaborating with internal stakeholders designing solutions to their complex problems, maintaining and evolving existing solutions and much more. 

Technical Architecture work is a combination of technical design, consultancy  and guidance, combined with hands-on implementation. As NEC business units embrace agile and DevOps based software development and delivery models, and look to adopt Public Cloud capabilities, our Technical Architects are pivotal members of the multidisciplinary teams required to achieve effective outcomes. 

The Technical Architect will join the central architecture and design team, which comprises a diverse group of architects working across enterprise, security, technical and solution architecture domains.

  • Present technical architecture designs to the technical assurance board, and support the technical assurance process based on specialist knowledge and experience.
  • Support the implementation of technical architecture designs, provide knowledge transfer to support teams and hands-on support where necessary.
  • Undertake evaluation of architecture and design options making recommendations to stakeholders that ensure functional and non-functional requirements are met.
  • Support the technology roadmap process undertaking and presenting investigations related to new and existing technologies enabling controlled introduction of technology adoption.
  • Undertake continuous learning to maintain knowledge of the key technologies in use by NEC, emerging technology trends, and industry standards to support business innovation through intelligent use of IT.
