Описание: Technical Solutions Architect Role type: Contract - Inside IR35 Location: UK / Remote Technical Solutions Architect required to join our Satalia team. As an organisation, we push the boundaries of data science, optimisation and artificial intelligence to solve the most complex problems in the industry. Satalia, a WPP company is a community of individuals devoted to working on diverse and challenging projects, allowing you to flex your technical skills whilst working with a tight-knit team of high performing colleagues. Led by our founder and WPP Chief AI Officer Daniel Hulme, Satalia’s ambition is to become a decentralised organisation of the future. Today, this involves developing tools and processes to liberate and automate manual repetitive tasks, with a focus on freedom, transparency and trust. At the core of our thinking is an approach to wellbeing and inclusivity. We unpack human behaviour and unpick prejudice to ensure a safe and inviting environment.

Our technical architects are expected to prove solutions and contribute to the development team, as well as reviewing code and driving improvement to our development practice and processes. At the same time, you need to be a great communicator: the role includes direct interaction with our clients and business stakeholders, which are a mixture of technical and non-technical audiences. The world of AI is evolving at a staggering pace, and we keep our knowledge fresh by continually looking for fresh technologies and sharing what we’ve learned. As an architect you would be expected to exemplify this both by bringing new ideas to our projects, but also listening to and assessing ideas from the team.
