Drupal Back End Architect - Assistant Technical Architect - Senior Developer | CNS

Senior Drupal/PHP developer with a desire to move from Development into Architecture sought urgently. Great day rate. NEed to hear from you in the next couple of hours though!!!

This role is based in Reading although a significant number of the team commute daily from London, Paddington (journey time 30 minutes).

I'm looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking, reliable and knowledgeable assistant technical architect to join our agile team working on a cutting edge Website based on the Drupal Framework.

Working under the Technical Solutions Architect you'll be tasked with researching, designing, prototyping, and presenting solutions to planned work as well as unforeseen challenges.

The kind of person I am looking for will have been a developer for around 8-10 years (much of that being PHP), and in your last couple of contracts will have been naturally progressing into a design/architecture type role.

You'll know the LAMP stack inside out, and in addition will have spent a fair amount of time with SOLR/LUCENE, Memcache, Tomcat, caching in general (and other leading edge OS technologies)

Specific responsibilities include:
-Prototyping solutions using LAMP stack with Drupal to be presented to business stakeholders then handed to the development teams.
-Assisting the Technical Solutions Architect in developing and maintaining a strategic focus on designing the required solution
-Assisting the Technical Solutions Architect in designing detailed technical models for the end to end platform
-Assisting the Technical Solutions Architect in defining and communicating detailed system interactions to both technical and non-technical audiences
-Working closely with both customers (internal and external) and team members on rapidly developing plans and roadmaps for multiple, closely coupled releases of the platform.
