Job summary

Whilst GDS are recruiting for this role, The National Security Digital Centre sits centrally within DSIT

The National Security Digital Centre (NSDC) is a new, ambitious team within DSIT, created to drive digital, data and technology transformation across the national security community. Our purpose is simple but high impact: to help departments use digital, data and technology more effectively to deliver their missions, and ultimately keep the country safe.

We are a small but growing team, based in the Digital Foundations Directorate under the Director of the Government Cyber Unit. As we scale, youll have the opportunity to shape how this work develops and make a tangible contribution from day one.

We care deeply about the environment we create. Diversity and inclusion are central to how we work, and youll be joining a team with a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. Together, we are building a culture where everyone can do their best work and feel they belong.

If you are motivated by meaningful work, enjoy solving complex challenges, and want to play a role in shaping the future of national security digital, we would love to hear from you.

Job description

As a Technical Architect (Integration and interoperability Technologist) in NSDC youll:

Drive the integration of national security platforms into a coherent, interoperable ecosystem across government, ensuring services operate effectively across organisational and classification boundaries
Design and apply integration and interoperability architecture patterns (e.g. identity federation, network connectivity, data sharing), and be able to justify and communicate design decisions to technical and non‑technical audiences
Build deep understanding of cross-government platform integration challenges, shaping architecture across SECRET and TOP SECRET environments to enable secure, scalable interworking between systems
Define, develop, and promote integration principles, standards, and best practice, or lead cross UK public sector technologists to create them, improving interoperability and reducing fragmentation across platforms
Lead the development of best-practice integration approaches and reusable patterns to support onboarding, migration, and cross-platform interaction
Build and maintain a strong network of peers across the National Security Community and UK Public Sector to align approaches to interoperability and resolve cross-organisational dependencies
Help upskill others across GDS and the National Security Community in integration architecture, interoperability standards, and system-of-systems thinking

Person specification

Were interested in people who have experience in:

working in digital roles aligned to UK National Security, with an understanding of cross-government systems, dependencies, and constraints beyond a single organisation
making, designing and integrating complex systems at scale, and using this experience to build credibility, evaluate technical proposals, and define executable approaches characterised by medium risk and complexity
developing and applying architecture patterns for interoperability, using feedback to optimise and refine standards for technical designs throughout the life cycle (e.g. APIs, event-driven integration, identity and access federation, cross-domain solutions, hybrid connectivity)
designing system-wide technical strategy and visions, whilst shaping how platforms operate together across organisational and classification boundaries
engaging with suppliers and vendors to ensure integration approaches are deliverable within multi-supplier and evolving platform ecosystems
presenting complex integration concepts clearly to both senior technical and non-technical stakeholders
embedding continuous learning and sharing knowledge through coaching, mentoring, and community engagement

cycle to work scheme and facilities
access to an employee discounts scheme
10 learning days per year

Office attendance
The Department operates a discretionary hybrid working policy, which provides for a combination of working hours from your place of work and from your home in the UK. The current expectation for staff is to attend the office or non-home based location for 40-60% of the time over the accounting period.
DSIT does not normally offer full home working (i.e. working at home); but we do offer a variety of flexible working options (including occasionally working from home).

Recruitment Timeline

Sift completion: 3rd August 2026

Panel interviews: Starting from 10th August 2026

Please note that this role requires SC clearance, which would normally need 5 years UK residency in the past 5 years. This is not an absolute requirement, but supplementary checks may be needed where individuals have not lived in the UK for that period. This may mean your security clearance (and therefore your appointment) will take longer or, in some cases, not be possible.

For meaningful checks to be carried out, you will need to have lived in the UK for a sufficient period of time, to enable appropriate checks to be carried out and produce a result which provides the required level of assurance. Whilst a lack of UK residency in itself is not necessarily a bar to a security clearance, and expectation of UK residency may range from 3 to 5 years. Failure to meet the residency requirements needed for the role may result in the withdrawal of provisional jobs offers.
