Division : Group Business Solutions (GBS)
Euroclear is migrating CREST from legacy applications running on the HPE NonStop Guardian platform to cloud-ready technology running in an OpenShift-managed Kubernetes container platform. This migration will be an incremental process over a period of years and will incorporate new and improvements to the existing functionality rather than be a straight “lift and shift”. Note that experience of HPE NonStop Guardian is not required.
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.
Responsibilities & Duties
Responsibilities include but are not limited to :
- Working as part of an Agile development team to deliver the migration of the legacy application to new event-based and service-oriented architecture solution, working in collaboration with the Solution Architect, Technical Lead, CREST application architects and other collaborators.
- Lead delivery of a coherent end-to-end IT solution that meets both functional and non-functional requirements.
- Ensuring that the IT solution aligns with the Enterprise engineering and architecture standards.
- Ensuring end-to-end consistency of solution delivery across platforms and teams by, for instance, coordinating walkthroughs of the solution with delivery teams.
- Ensuring that the solution meets guidelines and standards for design and development.
- Undertaking hands-on development and mentor staff in the new technologies used.
