Essential Skills and Experience: • In-depth knowledge of EMRS, and an understanding of CM, CfD, and RAB schemes. • Practical experience in systems design, including the application of TOGAF principles. • Experience working with BCS Systems Design techniques diploma or BCS Practitioner Certificate in Enterprise and Solution Architecture or equivalent. • Excellent stakeholder and team collaboration skills. • Proficiency in design patterns and industry-standard system analysis best practices. • Familiarity with the full software development lifecycle, including Agile and Waterfall methodologies. • Experience with project management tools such as Jira and DevOps pipelines. • Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned tasks while meeting tight timelines. Desirable Skills: • Previous experience in technical or system development roles supporting large-scale regulatory IT systems. • Understanding of BSC (Balancing and Settlement Code) arrangements and their interface with EMRS. • Experience with Microsoft Azure and associated cloud technologies. This role offers an exciting opportunity for someone looking to work in a technically challenging and impactful environment. If you have a strong background in system design, regulatory compliance, and architecture frameworks, we’d love to hear from you. Location: Central London
