This is a high-impact role spanning citizen-facing services, internal staff systems, cloud infrastructure, API platforms, and critical Legacy transformation initiatives. You must be comfortable translating high-level architectural direction into deliverable agile sprint work while fostering a culture of continuous learning and skills transfer. Key Responsibilities Architectural Leadership: Define, own, and communicate solution architectures for new and evolving digital services, producing clear Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), high-level and low-level designs, and reusable architecture patterns. Strategic Alignment: Ensure all designs conform to an agreed strategic architecture (API-first, cloud-first on AWS), software engineering standards, and cross-government digital frameworks. Technical Governance: Lead technical governance activities, including preparing submissions for Architecture Review Boards (ARB) and participating in design authorities and technical assurance reviews. Hands-on Collaboration: Provide active technical leadership within blended agile squads, reviewing code, advising on implementation approaches, and resolving complex technical blockers. Cloud & Platform Engineering: Drive cloud engineering decisions on AWS, encompassing serverless environments (Lambda/Node.js), containerisation, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/CDK), and modern platform engineering practices. Cross-Government Integration: Assess and guide integration approaches for strategic cross-government platforms (such as digital identity, digital wallets, payment gateways, and notification systems) alongside third-party APIs. Legacy Modernisation: Lead architectural activities for Legacy transformation, safely migrating services away from Mainframe, Cobol, and older database environments to scalable, modern platforms. Security & Compliance: Champion secure-by-design principles, participating in threat modelling (eg, STRIDE) and collaborating closely with cyber security and information assurance teams on Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs). Essential Skills & Experience Public Sector Delivery: Extensive hands-on experience acting as a Solution or Technical Architect on large-scale, complex digital transformation programmes within the public sector or highly regulated environments. Cloud-Native Expertise: Deep expertise in cloud-native architecture on AWS (including API Gateway, Lambda, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, CloudFront, and IAM). Modern Architecture Patterns: Strong practical knowledge of API-first design principles, REST/GraphQL, event-driven architectures, microservices, and domain-driven design. Automation & Tooling: Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tooling (such as Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipeline design (eg, Jenkins, GitHub Actions). Security Knowledge: Comprehensive understanding of secure-by-design principles, cloud security guidance (eg, NCSC), and government security classifications (OFFICIAL, OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE). Communication & Artefacts: A proven track record of producing high-quality architectural artefacts (C4 models, ADRs) and confidently translating complex technical decisions for non-technical senior stakeholders. Agile Assurance: Experience working through all phases of agile delivery and actively contributing to formal government digital service assessments (such as GDS assessments). Desirable Skills & Experience Legacy Migration: Prior experience with Legacy Mainframe modernisation and large-scale migration patterns.
