Job Details

Your role

Do you enjoy creating and maintaining a strong and stable architectural foundation on which innovative, creative and sustainable solutions can be built? Do you have great depth in technical knowledge as well as the ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders in IT and Business?

At UBS, we re-imagine the way we work, the way we connect with each other - our colleagues, clients and partners - and the way we deliver value. Being agile will make us more responsive, more adaptable, and ultimately more innovative.

We're looking for a Mainframe Architect to:

work closely with cross-functional team members in a pod (cross-functional team) or crew to improve (digital) products and journeys iteratively and continuously in line with our Digital Principles and architecture goals
support pods, crews, and streams in identifying and designing suitable architectures in different layers e.g., enterprise architecture, data architecture, solution architecture, technology architecture.
syndicate architectures among pods, crews and streams and ensure these conform to architectural standards; resolve interdependencies and conflicts and maintain a technical roadmap and maintain overview of architectural gaps.
manage and maintain requests for comments (RFCs), architectural decision records (ADRs) and risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies (RAIDs)
collaborate with other architects to define architectural goals and standards and manage temporary solutions and technical debt remediation
play an active role in consulting product owners on translating OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) into backlog items and include architectural improvements into the roadmap

Join us

At UBS, we embrace flexible ways of working when the role permits. We offer different working arrangements like part-time, job-sharing and hybrid (office and home) working. Our purpose-led culture and global infrastructure help us connect, collaborate, and work together in agile ways to meet all our business needs.

From gaining new experiences in different roles to acquiring fresh knowledge and skills, we know that great work is never done alone. We know that it's our people, with their unique backgrounds, skills, experience levels and interests, who drive our ongoing success. Together we're more than ourselves. Ready to be part of #teamUBS and make an impact?
