Role purpose:

As a Platform Architect in the Intelligence team, we expect you to design, implement, and maintain the technology platforms. 
Design the frontend and backend processes and define the interfaces that are to be developed and integrated with other systems. 
To analyze the key api’s & kpi ’s of data source and design the plugin for interfacing with the data source monitoring platform. 
To plan for the scalability of the designed systems that can handle growth in data volume, to optimize the platforms for performance ensuring cost-efficient use of resources. To enforce and implement security recommended practice and conduct periodic audits and enhancements. To be responsible for maintaining comprehensive documentation of the platform architecture, configurations, and processes. Focus is to design, integration and deployment of Cloud Resource Performance Management solutions and Data & report pipelines for Vodafone markets. 
As a platform architect will be responsible for planning and organizing the software system, define software coding standards and choose optimal tools for custom software development. 
Will help translate ideas into technical tasks and correctly distribute them to the integration team. Works closely with other project team members to deliver a successful product. 
He will write code similarly to an integrator but focus on standards reinforcement rather than building software parts. To drive improvements to the developmental process considering the overall product strategy. 
Will undergo data-structure analysis and design for metrics and inventory, will have mastery in ETL processes. 
Will be able to do API Query structure design for KPI and inventory extraction. Will be responsible for designing the data-model and incremental changes to it as new data is introduced. 
 

Technology focus on (but not restricted to) namely:

- Cloud data pipeline, data storage, cloud Database, cloud computing including Kubernetes, Virtual Machines, serverless etc.
- Cloud data lake and data warehouse
- CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) and familiarity with GCP Code and Image repositories and artefact repositories
- Java and Python expertise with hands-on knowledge on the frameworks To undertake the design, dimensioning, evolution, optimization, and upgrade of the performance management solutions according to roadmap and customer (internal) requirements and operational processes. 
Define proactive measures to guarantee the capacity and proper operation of the managed solutions. 
Work in multi-cultural environment. Drive innovation and efficiency on the above areas, looking for harmonization, synergies, and cost savings in the landscape across the European region. 
Will engage with different stakeholders to ensure that system strategy and functionality is in line with the market demands and Vodafone strategy.
