JOB DESCRIPTION:
Architect / Project Lead / Developer - .NET Core / Azure – Sandton – neg to R1.5m ctc

Interesting job this one.
You’d be replacing a core Technologist moving onto another project within the business.
The gig is perfect for leaders of developers who want to code – this is hands on work.

The role is within the R&D & development arm of a major end user. You would (amongst other things) be consulting back to the business on technology, identifying gaps or opportunities, conceptualising technical products/platforms that evolve the business, leading those initiatives & then jumping into more vanilla execution teams to teach them how to do what you do.
This is a role that blends the respect for compliance that the large financial institutions legally must obey with the fearlessness in tech needed for a Fintech shop.
You will find yourself in a high influence gig; in a business that wants your opinion; working with a team of very strong specialists.
You will find yourself playing a mixed hand of futurist with infrastructure optimisation.

You’ll need some heavyweight experience behind you to be able to deliver in this one:

? You’ll need those years you’ve spent as a Technical Architect in other environments
? You’ll also find yourself needing the technical (wo)man leadership skills you’ve gained; to be fair this role will demand project leadership skills as well
? You’ll find that your colleagues/peers are stereotypically people who got bored in operational leadership roles because they’re tech geeks themselves
? Without a doubt, you will find yourself needing to manage business people who don’t grasp your world
? I’d expect you to need some sales skills as you drive your own concepts back into the environment

You will need absolute confidence in your own tech skills:

? Imposter syndrome exists; it’s fine to not know things but you’re core technical pain short term will be –
? .NET Core – C#
? ASP.NET Core with Razor
? Azure – a variety of elements within the platform
? You’re going to need either enterprise experience in that tech OR serious depth in your own personal work

It would help you immensely if you already understood:
? Banking generally – at least, you will need some understanding of the challenges legal compliance brings
? Continuous delivery
? Agile – Safe or Scrum
? Api Architecture or full on Micro Services – Docker / Kubernetes
? OOP / DDD / Service Fabric
? Broader Cloud experience outside of just Azure (not really NB but it would help you)

I’m comfortable having a confidential chat with you about this. Let me know you who are and we can set up a chat.
