VML Enterprise Solutions

Department: Technology

Expertise: Technology

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.

The opportunity:

Technical Architect required to work on an innovative platform project providing holistic AI solutions to our internal and external audiences. This is a complex and rewarding technical architecture role covering everything from IAM through to API design through to MDM. It will require significant core architecture experience and requires a level of pragmatism and consideration when making key design decisions, considering all the trade-offs, and being able to communicate direction and reasoning to our engineers and the with the wider senior stakeholders. The architecture role covers the application, integration, and data domains. You will need demonstrable experience of spearheading software architecture within fast-paced teams. You will need significant experience in designing for NFRs as well as functional requirements. As well as general software architecture skills, you will need specific experience with application and infrastructure architecture components in GCP, including serverless and containerised environments.

What you’ll be doing:

The successful candidate will be one of four technical architects responsible for the continued architecture and improvement of our platform. Your role will involve a large amount of technical architecture across the integration, application, and data model domains. You should be familiar with API design, data model design, designing for NFRs/quality attributes and making informed decisions about the architecture of the platform, considering all trade-offs and demonstrating reasoning for your decisions and directions.

This is not a role for someone who doesn’t also love development. Whilst we have a team of engineers, you should be from a hands-on development background, and still hold the ability to read and peer-review the code of others. 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 relevant by continually looking for fresh technologies and innovative ideas, and sharing what we’ve learned with the team. As an architect you would be expected to exemplify this.

What we want from you:

  • Experience and knowledge of common GCP serverless components and how these are assembled to provide robust, highly-available and performant solutions
  • Significant experience in designing (and documenting) architectures and applications in GCP, handling a wide range of technical and non-technical constraints/NFRs/Quality Attributes
  • Significant experience with making key design decisions/architecture decision records, considering all trade-offs, and communicating decisions with reasoning and justification to a wide range of stakeholders
  • Significant experience in API design, documentation, and versioning, including the implementation of common GCP components
  • Experience leading a development team from a design and technical ownerships perspective
  • In-depth knowledge of application architecture in GCP, including an understanding of appropriate technologies and patterns for a given use case
  • Experience with estimating large-scale architecture change, identifying key risks and dependencies, forming a priorities roadmap and informing a programme/project plan
  • In-depth knowledge and experience with designing applications in a containerised environment
  • Hands-on development experience, ideally in Python, and familiarity with complex enterprise software and it’s challenges
  • Experience of designing software to run in a multi-tenant environment
  • Experience with data model design, simplification and standardisation
  • Experience within complex and highly-integrated architectures comprising of disparate and 3 rd party systems
  • 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
  • Applying DevOps principles
  • The application of AI (in the context of model abilities and use cases)
  • Headless architectures, and how these interact with the BE
  • CI/CD pipeline creation and maintenance
  • Diagrams-as-code

What we can offer you:

  • Salary depending on presented skills: 21 000 - 25 000 PLN (B2B contract)
  • Office and online integration events and team building activities
  • Hybrid work style (you can work from home, from our offices, or mix your work plan) and flexible working hours
  • Internal knowledge sharing and team initiatives (hackathons, lightning talks, mentoring, team and company-wide retreats)
  • Support from your first days at VML - a designated mentor who will support you through your whole career at VML
