SENIOR TECHNICAL ARCHITECT | THREE POSITIONS | NORTHERN HUBS
£600 per day, Inside IR35 — Corporate Systems — Central Government
THE ROLE
Three senior technical architects on a central government programme, working across enterprise scale corporate systems rather than one product. These are the systems that run the department itself, covering people, finance, commercial and estates, and a real part of the job is resolving the technical debt that has accumulated in them so the department spends less running what it already has.
The work spans several live services. You would produce the architecture designs, take them through governance, and work alongside delivery teams and other architects so that what gets built matches what was agreed. A significant part of it is deciding what to buy rather than build, running that evaluation properly, and being able to defend the recommendation afterwards.
YOU WILL
- Lead the technical and architecture design of enterprise scale systems across at least one of people, finance, commercial or estates
- Design microservice and API-led integration between services
- Design event-based integration using publish-subscribe and data streaming patterns
- Design file-based transfer where systems exchange data in bulk
- Evaluate SaaS products and make build-versus-buy recommendations you can stand behind
- Resolve technical debt to bring down ongoing IT costs
- Develop product roadmaps and represent your designs at governance forums
- Produce a consistent set of solution views that describe the solution to every audience, making the complex simple
