At easyJet, our goal is to inspire a whole generation of travellers to say “yes” to new experiences and opportunities. We want to strike a chord with people who have energy, passion and a relentless ambition to experience the world around them. People more than anything, who don’t wait for things to happen. As Europe's leading airline, we operate on over 600 routes, flying on more of Europe’s top 100 routes than any other airline. Connecting over 60 million people across more than 30 countries, easyJet has always been about opening up Europe so all of us can exercise our get-up-and-go.
Our Enterprise Architecture team is responsible for ensuring that all IT investments are co-ordinated and work towards our combined IT vision and strategy. Performing this task, in a company growing as fast as easyJet with a large dependency on IT, isn’t easy and requires as much pragmatism as technical and domain expertise. The team’s responsibilities include defining and communicating the IT strategy, road-mapping and acting as a technical design authority across the whole portfolio of change.
The role
This innovate team now require a Solution Architect to be responsible for end to end solution design. The Solution Architect will recommend the preferred solution, ensuring that it adheres to defined architecture standards and fits with the wider enterprise architecture and is aligned to business requirements (both current and future). By defining all elements of the solution, including (but not limited to) application components, logical data models, infrastructure and integration, you will take full ownership of the solution and communicate it to the delivery and service teams (both in house and third party). Working as ‘one team,’ you will contribute to the wider architecture function and help define the over-arching enterprise architecture standards and policies. Liaising with external parties, suppliers and internal members of the IT team and business units to research, define and document the systems architecture and high level designs for major new initiatives. This is a truly exciting time to join the IT team here at easyJet. You will be able to utilise cutting edge technology and be part of key IT programmes that span the business.
