Functional Architect – ETRM (Aligne)

I’m looking for an experienced

Functional Architect

with strong

ETRM and Energy Trading

domain expertise for a strategic architecture role.

This is

not a hands-on engineering role

. The organisation already has strong Solution Architects and Engineers. The key requirement is someone who can provide

functional architecture, target-state definition and architectural governance

to ensure tactical deliveries align with a coherent long-term architecture.

Key experience:

• Functional / Domain Architecture within Energy Trading or Utilities

• Strong ETRM experience –

Aligne, Endur/Openlink or similar

• Target-state architecture & transition roadmaps

• Energy trading processes – Power/Gas, Scheduling, Nominations, Positions, Risk & Settlements

• Architecture governance and tactical vs. strategic solution assessment

• ETRM platform rationalisation and technical-debt reduction

• Enterprise data, canonical data models & integration architecture

• High-volume / half-hourly smart meter data and time-series modelling

• APIs, Kafka/event-driven architecture and modern data platforms

The ideal candidate will be comfortable

challenging tactical decisions, defining architectural guardrails and ensuring individual use cases contribute towards a sustainable target state

.
