Full job description

The Solution Architect is responsible for the end-to-end design, development, and implementation of robust, scalable, and secure technology solutions that directly support organisational objectives. Acting as a strategic conduit between business stakeholders and technical teams, this role ensures that architectural integrity is maintained throughout the entire software development lifecycle.

You will be tasked with delivering technical designs of moderate risk and complexity, ensuring they remain coherent and responsive to evolving requirements. By challenging assumptions and identifying strategic opportunities, you will play a pivotal role in translating a high-level vision into actionable roadmaps.

Architectural Design & Strategy

Create and maintain technical blueprints that balance innovation with architectural coherence, ensuring all designs are optimized through iterative feedback loops.
Interpret organisational roadmaps to develop solution strategies that align with long-term digital goals.
Proactively challenge requirements and underlying assumptions to ensure the most efficient and effective technical path is selected.

Governance, Risk & Assurance

Identify, document, and mitigate architectural risks that impact multiple teams or domains, specifically focusing on solutions of medium risk and complexity.
Ensure all solutions adhere to Government Digital Service Standards and the Technology Code of Practice, maintaining readiness for formal Digital Service Assessments.
Apply established architectural principles, patterns, and constraints to all decision-making processes. Contribute to the continuous improvement of internal architectural governance frameworks.

Collaboration & Delivery

Work as a key member of a blended, multidisciplinary Agile team, participating in sprint planning, peer reviews, and retrospective sessions.
Communicate complex technical concepts effectively to both senior leadership and external customers, fostering consensus on critical design decisions.
Maintain rigorous documentation standards, ensuring all architectural outputs are captured within official repositories, including Navy Digital Confluence, SharePoint, and GitHub.

Top 3 requirements:

Ability to produce architectural representations that enable different teams to have a shared understanding of problems throughout the life cycle.

Strong communication skills as you will need to communicate complicated, complex or risky architecture topics with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Experience with tracking emerging issues, strategies, roadmaps, patterns and technologies over time to assess opportunities and risks to your work.

Experience and skills

Must haves:

Proven ability to guide design choices in environments characterized by moderate complexity and risk.
Ability to see the "big picture" while managing the technical nuances of a specific domain.
Strong interpersonal skills with a proven track record of managing expectations across diverse stakeholder groups.
Familiarity with the GDS lifecycle and the requirements for passing a Digital Service Assessment is highly desirable. Experience with Containerisation technologies such as

Kubernetes.

Produce and promote high quality solution designs and application architectures that are aligned with the Data & Analytics architecture principles and strategy.
Understanding of modern Security principles; Secure by Design, Zero Trust Architecture and Software Defined Networks.
Must have the ability to problem solve and apply the outcome to an architectural solution.
Experience of Modern Application platforms; MS Power Platform Palantir Foundry or equivalent.
Understanding of Cloud Architectures across Azure, AWS and other platforms.

Nice to haves:

Experience having previously worked in Defence.
