A technical architect is responsible for the design and building of technical architecture.

As a Technical Architect (SEO), you will design and build robust technical architectures to address complex organisational challenges. You will undertake a structured analysis of technical issues, translating this analysis into well-defined technical solutions. You’ll identify underlying problems, look for opportunities to collaborate and reuse components and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders. In this role, you will also build trusted partnerships with diverse teams, ensuring alignment across multiple technologies, business areas, and locations.

You will transform business requirements into secure, scalable, and future-proof technical architectures in this role. You’ll work in agile, collaborative environments to design and deliver services that meet user needs and strategic goals.

• Contribute to solution design by creating and reviewing technical patterns, ensuring alignment with broader departmental or cross-government strategies.
• Support integration of new systems into existing infrastructures, documenting precise technical approaches and standards.
• Own one or more digital components, guiding design, implementation, and continuous improvement throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Collaborate across teams and suppliers to identify reusable components, reduce technical debt, and drive consistent architectural practices.
• Evaluate outcomes of projects or solutions, capturing best practices, lessons learned, and opportunities for further innovation.
• Adhere to governance requirements and assurance frameworks, ensuring solutions meet relevant policies, standards, and compliance requirements

Essential skills:

• Designing and delivering quality services with strong technical grounding.
• Driving innovation and continuous improvement in solution design.
• Navigating complex landscapes of technologies, suppliers, and cross-government teams.
• Applying agile development and DevOps principles, following robust engineering standards.
• Shaping or contributing to technical roadmaps and strategies.
• Understanding and implementing relevant technical requirements in associated technologies.

• Meaningful Work: Contribute to critical national security and public service initiatives.

• Flexible working: Options include full-time, part-time, compressed hours, job sharing, and a hybrid model (minimum 60% on-site).
