We are looking for a motivated Solution Architect to take on the challenge of solving complex problems by designing, modernising and securing services that play a critical role in protecting some of the UK governments most sensitive information.
More than ever, we need to stay ahead of the latest threats, proactively defend our systems and continuously improve our tools, techniques, and processes. And most importantly, we place our users at the heart of everything we do.
Whilst we sit in an established government department, the team structure and ethos are dynamic and agile, more akin to a modern tech start-up. We are pioneering new ways of delivering IT shared services across government, and were having fun doing it.
If you thrive in an exciting and complex environment and can bring experience and ambition to the team, this extremely rewarding role is perfect for you.
