As a Lead System Designer within the Plasma‑Derived Therapies (PDT) Technology ecosystem, you will serve as the senior technical design authority guiding the evolution, intelligence, and structural design of complex enterprise applications. With your experience in system design, distributed systems, engineering leadership, and emerging AI capabilities, you will define design governance, establish reusable design models, and drive product and platform modernization across the PDT landscape.
You will combine deep application and solution design expertise, data‑driven thinking, and AI‑accelerated engineering approaches to ensure PDT systems are scalable, resilient, secure, and intelligence‑enabled. You will mentor technical leads, elevate engineering craftsmanship, and work cross‑functionally to align solutions with business capabilities and enterprise direction.
Application & Solution Design (Expanded and Design‑Centric)
Lead application and solution design using clear structural design principles, layered solution models, modular decomposition, and domain‑driven concepts aligned to business capabilities.
Create and maintain reusable solution design blueprints, canonical models, service boundaries, and integration models that promote consistency across the PDT ecosystem.
Apply Domain‑Driven Design (DDD) techniques such as bounded contexts, aggregates, and ubiquitous language to create maintainable, business‑aligned systems.
Design systems using modern patterns including microservices, event‑driven workflows, cloud‑native components, and distributed compute models.
Lead solution review forums ensuring designs meet expected standards across performance, resilience, maintainability, and cost effectiveness.
Select solution patterns (e.g., CQRS-style design, Saga-style coordination, hexagonal/port‑adapter models) based on suitability, longevity, and simplicity.
Strategic System & Platform Design
Guide the overall structural design of PDT applications across NextJS, Node.js, ReactJS/modern front‑end, SQL/NoSQL data layers, Heroku, AWS, EKS, and product-to-platform connectors.
Establish design governance, standards, and decision frameworks enabling predictable, high‑quality technical outcomes.
AI‑Infused Product & Solution Design
Introduce Agentic AI concepts into solution models, workflows, operational flows, observability, and developer tooling.
Design solutions that incorporate LLMs, embeddings, vector search, reasoning capabilities, autonomous agents, and AI‑powered insights.
Establish AI‑ready design patterns supporting semantic data layers, event enrichment, intelligent decisioning, and contextual logic.
Leverage data dashboards, metrics, operational telemetry, and analytics insights to inform solution design decisions.
Embed data quality, lineage, metadata definitions, and consistency rules within system designs to support AI‑driven behaviors.
Identify opportunities to apply AI/ML fundamentals to elevate user experience, automate workflows, detect anomalies, and improve operational predictability.
AI‑Augmented Developer Experience & Productivity
Define best‑practice guidelines for using AI copilots for design validation, code generation, testing assistance, refactoring, and documentation support.
Integrate AI‑assisted processes for generating boilerplate components, design templates, impact analysis, dependency evaluation, and model validation.
Technical Leadership & Delivery Excellence
Develop reusable solution artefacts—design templates, reusable service definitions, API models, logical flow diagrams, and deployment models.
Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, senior engineers, data teams, and security specialists to deliver cohesive solutions.
Lead estimation, solution planning, risk identification, and stakeholder communication in a clear, structured manner.
Mentorship, Design Governance & Collaboration
Foster a culture of innovation, clarity of design, technical discipline, and continuous improvement.
Minimum Requirements / Qualifications
Expertise across NextJS, Node.js, ReactJS/modern UI frameworks, SQL/NoSQL, Heroku, AWS, EKS, event-driven workflows, microservice-style design, and integration patterns.Skilled in designing and building scalable multi‑cloud and cloud‑agnostic platforms.
Deep understanding of reusable design patterns, distributed systems, API modeling, domain‑driven concepts, and cloud‑aligned architecture principles.
Strong grounding in modern application engineering practices, including DevSecOps pipelines, IaC principles, security‑by‑design, and continuous validation.
Familiarity with secure engineering and DevSecOps tools including CodeQL, SonarCloud, JFrog, and DAST tooling.
