The role will include accountability for creating the low-level design (LLD) a given service or services (building on Architectural design work). The LLD will cover the entirety of the service and serve as the main input into formal impacting and backlog creation for the Build phase.
Post the Design phase, the role will include leading (technically) the development and delivery of a given service or services. Adopting shared / common components built within the wider Client. programme, driving ways of working in line with the engineering principles and assuring the work in the team.
