This is an opportunity to shape critical Home Office services that impact millions of people across the UK. As a Technical Architect, you will design and deliver robust, scalable architectures that tackle complex organisational challenges and ensure our technology is ready for the future.
You will analyse technical issues in a structured way, translating them into clear, practical solutions. Collaboration will be key: you will identify opportunities to reuse components, communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and build trusted partnerships across diverse teams, technologies and locations.
We are building a workforce that reflects the communities we serve and welcome applications from all backgrounds. We particularly encourage women, people with disabilities and LGBT+ colleagues to apply, as they are currently under-represented at this grade. Appointments are made on merit through fair and open competition.

* Analyse existing systems to recommend improvements or new technologies that address organisational needs and enhance security.
* 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.
What you will bring
* 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 and multidisciplinary teams.
* Applying agile development and DevOps principles, following robust engineering standards.
* Shaping or contributing to technical roadmaps and strategies as well as experience in architectural toolsets, principals and patterns.
* Understanding and implementing relevant technical requirements in associated technologies.
