Sr. Designer

Project overview

Assignment Description

The Sr. Designer role at IAM can best be described as a mix of application and chain information architect for IAM, from high-level to granular detail. The Sr. Designer is responsible for developing and translating architectures into usable building blocks and frameworks for IAM from a Security perspective. The Sr. designer creates generic and specific designs for the building blocks, prioritizing security, (re)usability, manageability, standardization, automation, and scalability. The Sr. Designer investigates/analyzes the desirability of a functional wish that has been translated into Functional requirements.

Additionally, the Sr. Designer tests the technical design against the frameworks. The functionary is also involved in product development within the Defense (and customer) architecture.

Activities:

Background of the assignment

Within JIVC, the Generic IT & Infra (GIT&Infra) department exists, and together with the other departments of functional and operational IT, it is the Defense supplier of complete systems, applications, trainers, and simulators for the armed forces in the relevant domain. The Security section falls under Git&Infra. The IAM building block is part of that. The IAM building block contributes, based on in-depth knowledge of business operations, user, and maintenance processes, to the translation of requirements and wishes into concrete specifications for the IAM chain.

In addition to developing and strengthening the chain, the department is also responsible for maintaining these chain systems. The IAM 1st Designer is part of the IAM building block.

Requirements

eCF profile: Systems Architect

Reference Area: A.05 Designing Architecture

This assignment is based on the European e-Competence Framework (e-CF). This is a European standard for describing IT competencies and the associated level of responsibility. The eCF profile indicates which competencies and at what level (e-1 to e-5) are expected from the candidate. We expect candidates to clearly demonstrate in their CV that they possess these competencies. This can be done by describing for each relevant assignment or position:

CVs in which the required eCF competencies are not demonstrably present cannot be fully assessed for suitability.

Candidate has at least 4 years of demonstrable work experience with the chosen eCF profile similar role.
