About the job
Who We Are:
At VML, we are a beacon of innovation and growth in an ever-evolving world. Our heritage is built upon a century of combined expertise, where creativity meets technology, and diverse perspectives ignite inspiration. With the merger of VMLY&R and Wunderman Thompson, we have forged a new path as a growth partner that is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology powerhouse.
Our global family now encompasses over 30,000 employees across 150+ offices in 64 markets, each contributing to a culture that values connection, belonging, and the power of differences. Our expertise spans the entire customer journey, offering deep insights in communications, commerce, consultancy, CRM, CX, data, production, and technology. We deliver end-to-end solutions that result in revolutionary work.
We are looking for a Technical Architect with experience in AWS Application Architecture – with significant experience designing solutions using serverless technologies and providing technical guidance to a team to join our experienced cross-disciplinary department.
You will be required to work on an innovative serverless project in a complex composable architecture comprising multiple SaaS products.
What you’ll be doing:
The successful candidate will be involved in AWS serverless architecture design and development. You will be considering functional and non-functional requirements to inform these decisions and support the development team in implementing them.
This is not a role for someone who doesn’t love development. Our technical architects would be expected to prove solutions and contribute to the development team, as well as peer review code. At the same time, you need to be a great communicator: the role will include direct interaction with our clients, who include both technical and non-technical colleagues.
We keep our knowledge fresh by continually looking for new technologies and sharing what we’ve learned. As an architect, you would be expected to exemplify this.
What we want from you:
- Experience and knowledge of common AWS serverless components and how these are assembled to provide a robust and highly available solution
- Significant hands-on development experience, ideally in TS/JS, and familiarity with complex enterprise software and its challenges
- Significant experience in designing (and documenting) highly-available and robust applications in AWS, handling a wide range of technical and non-technical constraints
- Significant experience in API design, documentation, and versioning, including the implementation of common AWS components
- Experience leading a development team from a design and technical ownership perspective
- In-depth knowledge of application architecture in AWS, including an understanding of appropriate technologies and patterns for a given use case.
- Written, spoken and diagrammatic communication skills, with the ability to convey technical and abstract principles
- Automation and quality-first mindset, including Infrastructure-as-Code languages (e.g. CloudFormation, Terraform) and advocating developer quality through unit testing, code reviews and automated tooling
If you know some of this, even better:
- c4 model for Software Architecture
- Devops principles
- Application of Ai
- Headless Architectures
- Ci/Cd pipelines and maintenance
- Diagrams-as-code
- Knowledge and experience with Mulesoft
What we can offer you:
Alongside the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting brands around the world, we’ll also prioritise your career development and help you grow your skills. We’ll empower you to make a difference, allow you to be yourself, and respect who you are.
We offer a great benefits package including hybrid working that works for everyone, social events, training opportunities, medical and dental insurance, life assurance, meal cards and much more.
Our personality and behaviours: We believe that we are what we do, not just what we say. Our shared values and behaviours show how to bring the VML Enterprise Solution’s culture to life through the actions we all take every day:
- Connect Meaningfully
- Inspire Creatively
- Include Purposefully
- Approach Positively
Our brilliant, talented people are what makes VML Enterprise Solutions what we are. That’s why we look for people who go beyond and always push our thinking to be better than yesterday.
