Job summary

At HM Land Registry (HMLR), we are transforming the way land registration services are delivered through modern technology, innovative architecture and digital services. We are looking for a Senior Technical Architect to join our Architecture Practice and play a key role in shaping strategic technology solutions that support our ambitious transformation agenda.

As a Senior Technical Architect, you will work across multiple products, services and delivery teams, taking a holistic view of our technology landscape. You will help design and deliver scalable, secure and sustainable technical solutions that meet both current and future business needs.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, influencing technical direction and collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders to deliver measurable outcomes.

Job description

Architecture is a team sport at HMLR. We believe the best solutions are created when people with different perspectives, experiences and technical specialisms work together towards a shared goal.

As a Senior Technical Architect, you will work closely with software engineers, architects, delivery teams and stakeholders across the organisation to design end-to-end solutions that align with business objectives and technical strategy. You will be comfortable working in complex environments, providing clarity where there is ambiguity and ensuring that technology decisions support both immediate delivery needs and long-term organisational goals.

You will take ownership of architectural solutions throughout their lifecycle, considering not only how a solution operates today, but how it scales, evolves and integrates within the wider technology ecosystem.

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. If you are passionate about technology and architecture but do not meet every requirement listed, we would still encourage you to apply.

Translate business requirements and strategic objectives into effective technical designs.
Ensure solutions function effectively within their immediate context and across the wider organisational ecosystem.
Provide technical leadership and guidance to delivery teams and stakeholders.
Build effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders, suppliers and other government departments.
