The role – Lead Solution Architect – CREST New Technology
IT is at the core of Euroclear’s business, providing continuous development, assisting in delivering a cost efficient and high-quality service to its customers. Currently the core business is run on HP NonStop Servers (Tandem). Communications infrastructure and message routing functionality are implemented on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Euroclear is starting to evaluate the migration of CREST from COBOL programs running on the HPE NonStop Guardian platform to new technology capable of running on a commoditised platform such as Linux.
Key technologies: Java, OpenShift, Databases (Oracle, SQL Server), Kafka.

Zakres obowiązków:
It is expected that this migration will be an incremental process over a period of years.
Our new technology will be Java based and use Event Hub technology (such as Kafka) for integration between the new migrated services and non-migrated legacy CREST system. Platform independence of migrated services is required to allow running on OpenShift Linux environments.
Further responsibilities include but are not limited to:
• Defining options and providing recommendations for migration from legacy to new event driven and service focused architecture working in collaboration with the Euroclear Enterprise Architecture team, CREST application architects and other parties
• Delivering a coherent end-to-end IT solution that meets both functional and non-functional requirements
• Ensuring:
o that the IT solution fully aligns with the Enterprise engineering and architecture standards
o end-to-end consistency of solution delivery across platforms and teams by, for instance, organising walkthroughs of the solution with delivery teams
• Collaborating with security to ensure that our new solution meets security standards
• Establishing:
o infrastructure requirements and collaborating with the infrastructure teams to deliver the Technical and Infrastructure design
o guidelines, patterns and standards for solutions architecture and design in new technology stack
o prototypes / proof of concepts to prove the key components of proposed new architecture
o estimation principles for phases of the migration program and for the proof-of-concept exercises
• Leading the implementation of the prototypes and follow-on work
• Presenting proposed solution architecture and plans to Euroclear management, customers & team-members
• Acting as technical authority for the new solution under the new technical stack
