About your role

We are seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Senior Technical Consultant with deep expertise in SOR, SOT and the wider Record Keeping Platform (RKP).

The role requires strong technical knowledge of the platform's architecture, application components, data structures, processing workflows, business rules, interfaces and integration dependencies.

The successful candidate will take technical ownership of complex platform changes, lead detailed solution design, undertake hands-on engineering and troubleshooting, and provide specialist guidance to engineering and delivery teams. A key aspect of this role is the ability to understand existing platform behaviour, identify technical and functional dependencies, and translate business requirements into secure, reliable and maintainable engineering solutions.

The specialist will also contribute to the progressive modernisation of RKP, helping bridge existing platform capabilities with modern engineering practices, cloud technologies and evolving architectural patterns.

This is a senior individual contributor role requiring deep technical expertise, strong engineering judgement and the ability to independently resolve complex platform challenges.

Key role responsibilities

• Act as a senior technical subject matter expert for SOR, SOT and the wider Record Keeping Platform (RKP), providing deep hands-on expertise in platform architecture, application components, business processes, data models and integrations.
• Lead end-to-end technical solution design and architecture documentation for complex platform enhancements, regulatory changes and business requirements, ensuring alignment with engineering standards.
• Perform detailed technical impact analysis across application code, databases, batch processes, business rules, interfaces and upstream/downstream system dependencies.
• Remain actively involved in hands-on engineering, including Java/SQL development, code analysis, debugging, technical prototyping, code reviews and implementation of critical changes.
• Provide specialist expertise in relational databases, complex SQL, stored procedures, query optimisation, data structures and application performance tuning.
• Design and troubleshoot complex transaction processing, batch workloads, data reconciliation and integration flows, ensuring data integrity, consistency and operational reliability.
• Lead technical aspects of data migration, transformation and reconciliation, ensuring accuracy, traceability and continuity of business-critical operations.
• Drive practical modernisation of RKP components by identifying technical debt, simplifying legacy implementations and adopting modern architecture, APIs, cloud technologies and reusable engineering patterns.
• Lead investigation, root-cause analysis and resolution of complex production incidents across applications, databases, integrations and infrastructure, implementing sustainable corrective actions.
• Ensure application security, data protection, performance, scalability, resilience and other non-functional requirements are embedded throughout solution design and implementation.
• Champion modern engineering practices, including automated testing, branching strategies, CI/CD, DevOps, environment management and quality engineering.
• Leverage specification-driven development, AI-assisted engineering and automation, where appropriate, to accelerate code understanding, impact analysis, development and testing while maintaining enterprise governance.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership, mentoring and specialist escalation support to developers and engineering teams, promoting engineering excellence and knowledge sharing.
• Lead and participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, solution walkthroughs and 3 Amigos sessions, ensuring clear acceptance criteria and shared understanding of requirements.
• Support production releases, deployment readiness, rollback planning, hypercare and operational monitoring to maintain platform stability and service continuity.
• Maintain accurate technical documentation covering architecture, application dependencies, interfaces, design decisions and operational knowledge to reduce key-person dependencies.
• Provide technical feasibility assessments, reliable engineering estimates, risk analysis and dependency management to support effective project and delivery planning.
• Collaborate closely with business analysts, product owners, architects, enterprise technology teams and production support, communicating technical decisions, trade-offs and risks effectively.
• Take end-to-end ownership of technical quality and solution readiness, ensuring secure, maintainable and reliable delivery while continuously improving platform performance, engineering practices and business outcomes.
