Why this job matters

unit. Telco Capabilities develop and manage the IT systems which underpin business processes like order
fulfilment and fault management. At the core of this unit are software platforms like Sales Force Vlocity, Ciena
Blue Planet but also a considerable suite of self-build applications, typically Java Spring apps running on AWS
cloud. The unit processes all the major telco products relevant to a Consumer including broadband, mobile
and TV. The role will involve leading a small technical development team working on a specific capability. The
role holder will be responsible for all aspects of the application lifecycle – e.g. requirements, design,
development, test and in-life.
