We're reinventing what tomorrow looks like at Jaguar Land Rover. There's a revolution underway in our industry - and we're leading it. We've always been innovators. But our future will be driven by the possibilities created by new technologies as never before.
We are looking for a Solution Architect who will help us realise our business vision for a cloud-native connected-vehicle platform that will provide our customers, suppliers and partners with seamless connected services delivered through an industry-leading global platform that will generate new income streams for our business and also help drive down costs through the use of data analytics.
You will be responsible for defining and communicating the structure and dynamics of a solution sufficient to meet the requirements of the various key stakeholders in addition to identifying and highlighting architectural risk and providing recommendations for mitigation. The role will also include enabling the agile delivery teams to work effectively through a clear understanding of the separation of concerns and system dependencies. Working in close collaboration with the engineering teams through the tech leads, the solution architect will evolve the architecture as the detail is laid down and through architectural prototyping as necessary.
