Job description

The Principal Architect is responsible for the end to end design, assurance and strategic direction of technical architecture and cloud-based re-usable services across Defra Shared Platform Services (SPS), representing Group Infrastructure & Operations (GIO) within the wider DDTS Architecture function while contributing to cross-domain architectural strategy and standards.

As a key member of the GIO Platforms team, the role contributes to the roadmap for Shared Platform adoption, evolution and reuse across the organisation, ensuring alignment with business needs and provision of value driven services in support of an expanding portfolio of externally facing digital services.

The role provides technical leadership across multiple platforms (including Customer, Identity, Data Platform and Integration), ensuring that systems are secure, scalable, interoperable, and adhere to organisational strategy and governance.

Person specification

Responsibilities:

Provide architectural leadership in implementation of technical architecture and reusable cloud-based services.

- Support and oversee solution architects and technical teams in the completion of high-quality architectural artefacts - including Solution Overviews, Conceptual Service Designs, Architectural Design Records, High-Level System Records and Security documentation.

Lead the design and support the build of technical architecture for Shared Platform Services using established technologies and innovation, applying expertise in emerging platform technologies and innovation (with awareness of how these are used and adopted in other organisations).
Translate complex business and technical requirements into coherent solution designs, guide technical teams, influence governance decisions, and ensure that architectural artefacts meet required quality standards.
Conduct deep technical investigations, represent technical teams to senior stakeholders, and ensure alignment with broader digital and organisational strategy. Identify trends, wider industry practices and innovation to inform the architectural approach and ensure alignment to broader strategy.
Design systems characterised by manageable levels of business and technical complexity. Identify reuse opportunities and promote shared components across the organisation.
Drive architectural assurance, quality control, and risk identification across systems. Make and influence decisions based on managed levels of risk and complexity, follow governance procedures and take responsibility for technical assurance and risk identification across services. Ensure that standards, patterns, policies and designs are applied correctly, challenged where appropriate, and influence improvements in governance processes where appropriate.
Communicate with stakeholders at technical and non‑technical levels across the business and multiple delivery programmes across the organisation. Communicate complex architecture to varied audiences, including senior leaders, and speak on behalf of technical teams and build strong relationships with both direct and indirect stakeholders.
Champion architectural coherence across shared services, ensuring decisions taken within GIO support Defra-wide strategic direction preventing creation of siloed or tactical solutions. Provide architectural leadership beyond operational boundaries, ensuring infrastructure, platform and shared services designs align with enterprise strategy, security principles, service tiering, and long-term technology roadmaps.

Skills and experience:

As a senior member of the platforms team, the role requires a broad technical knowledge of platform technologies, as well as expertise in implementation and delivery of reusable cloud-based services - including, but not limited to:

Microsoft tech stack (including Azure SaaS and PaaS services)
Amazon Cloud Infrastructure / Services
Microsoft Security, Compliance and Identity Services
Identity Management - inc. Identity & Access Management (IdAM), Identity Services and authentication protocols (inc. OIDC) and Microsoft Identity services.

MS Dynamics 365
Power Platforms

Significant experience leading architecture for large‑scale digital or platform services.
Demonstrate a good understanding of current and emerging platform technologies, including awareness of how these are used and adopted in other organisations.
Experience in implementation of shared and reusable platforms, including those relating to Customer, Identity, Data and Integration services.
Experience in the development and application of reusable design patterns and producing high‑quality architectural documentation.
Experience working within an architecture practice, defining and evolving standards, patterns, reference architectures and target-state designs, and providing architectural assurance across complex programmes and portfolios.
