Lead Technical Architect Pay up to £99,836, plus 28.97% employer pension contributions, hybrid working, flexible hours, and great work-life balance. Do you want to lead on the modernisation of systems that deliver billions of pounds in payments every week to citizens who rely on our support? As a Lead Technical Architect in DWP Payments, you'll operate at one of the highest levels of architectural leadership within DWP Digital. Payments is one of the most critical service areas in government, responsible for ensuring accurate, reliable and timely payments to millions of people. We are one of the biggest payers in the UK, across benefits and pensions and we're modernising our payments estate. We are moving away from legacy systems and designing future-proofed, event-driven, API-led architectures that are resilient, scalable and secure. You'll guide the technical strategy for major transformation initiatives, shaping how our next-generation payments platform will work. You'll provide expert architectural leadership across cloud, on-premise and hybrid environments, and work with multidisciplinary teams to design and govern high-risk, high-impact solutions. You'll collaborate closely with delivery teams and senior stakeholders, offering clear options and recommendations that influence technology decisions at scale. This is an exciting time to join us. The scale is huge, the challenge is real, and the opportunities for impact are significant. You'll help transform the backbone of one of the UK's largest public services. What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? You know how to design microservice and API-led architectures, and you understand the tools, techniques and best practices behind them. You have hands-on experience with event-based architectures, including pub/sub models, data streaming and modern integration patterns. You can design architectures that span cloud, on-prem and hybrid environments, and understand networking, security, middleware, databases and integration. You use architecture principles, standards and patterns to guide design, making sure solutions align with strategy. You've shaped or supported delivery across agile, waterfall and hybrid environments, from initial concept all the way to go-live. You can take complex business needs and turn them into clear, traceable technical solutions that stakeholders can understand. You use architecture modelling techniques and tools to represent designs in a way that supports decision-making. You and your role As a Lead Technical Architect, you'll have a strategic role shaping how our Payments team designs, builds and operates the platforms that deliver billions in payments safely and reliably. We're taking on a major modernisation - moving from complex legacy systems to modern cloud-based, event-driven architecture. You'll help lead that change, ensuring our new platforms are robust, secure, flexible and future-ready. You'll work across multiple teams and programmes, guiding architectural direction, setting standards and ensuring solutions meet both technical and business needs. You'll inspire, mentor and support the architecture community, helping others grow and ensuring consistent and high-quality design across the organisation. Leadership in this role means influence: setting strategy, supporting communities, guiding decisions and creating clarity in complex environments. You'll solve some of the biggest and most important challenges in government technology: modernising legacy payment systems, improving resilience, handling huge volumes of data, and ensuring that millions of people get the right payment at the right time. Your impact will be felt in the reliability and security of services that people depend on every day. This is a role for someone who thrives on complexity, embraces large-scale transformation and wants to leave a lasting legacy in public service. Details. Wages. Perks.

Lead Enterprise Architect Pay up to £99,836, plus 28.97% employer pension contributions, hybrid working, flexible hours, and great work life balance. Join us and shape how one of the UK's largest digital organisations connects, scales and secures the technology that underpins services for millions of citizens As a Lead Enterprise Architect, you'll join DWP Digital's Enterprise Architecture community - a team that designs the strategic technology direction for our entire organisation. You'll lead the development of DWP's reference architectures and digital blueprints, ensuring our systems evolve in a secure, modern and sustainable way. Your work will influence multi-billion-pound services, helping us manage technical risk, reduce complexity and drive transformation across a vast and critical technology estate. This is a high-impact, highly visible role. You'll be the recognised expert in integration architecture across DWP, shaping strategic decisions, guiding senior leaders and enabling the adoption of modern technologies. You'll balance big-picture vision with deep technical insight, helping teams across DWP and government deliver better, more resilient services. What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? You understand modern and legacy integration patterns, and know how technologies like APIs, events, messaging, file transfer and cloud-based integration all fit together across a large, complex organisation. You have experience leading enterprise-scale architecture for major, business-critical systems - not just designing individual solutions, but shaping whole ecosystems and guiding major technology decisions. You're confident presenting complex topics to a wide range of audiences - senior leaders, technical teams, cross-government partners and external stakeholders. You have experience running architecture governance that helps organisations make consistent, informed decisions. You know how to create reference architectures, principles and standards, and can explain them clearly to technical peers. You understand both modern architectural approaches (like microservices, APIs, cloud and event-driven design) and traditional on-premise monoliths - and how to bridge between them. You and your role As a Lead Enterprise Architect, you will be at the heart of shaping DWP's future technology landscape. You'll develop and maintain the DWP Enterprise Architecture, guiding how our systems evolve and ensuring teams have the patterns, standards and frameworks they need to build services confidently and consistently. This role is deeply strategic. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders and executive boards, helping them understand architectural risks, trade-offs and opportunities - ensuring our technology direction stays aligned with DWP's business strategy. You'll lead horizon scanning, keep us aware of industry, government and digital trends, and translate emerging thinking into actionable recommendations for DWP. This position will also play a central role in influencing how we integrate platforms and services across the enterprise. This isn't command-and-control: success comes from chairmanship, collaboration and the ability to bring people together behind a shared architectural vision. You'll work across teams, portfolios and programmes to unblock challenges, shape roadmaps, spark pathfinder projects as well as help technical teams adopt modern integration approaches. As the expert in this domain, you'll often represent DWP across government, contributing to cross-department initiatives and briefing senior leaders (including ministers) on specialist topics. You'll mentor other architects, support Product Delivery Unit teams, and help ensure the architectural 'jigsaw' across DWP fits together coherently. This is a role for someone who wants to originate strategy, shape technology direction at national scale, and leave a legacy that improves the way government works for years to come. Details. Wages.
