Experience with Defence standards, Information Assurance, NCSC guidance, ISO 27001, interoperability or secure information exchange would be advantageous, but isn't essential. ## Description Some Solution Architecture roles are about maintaining existing platforms. This one is about helping design the next generation of Defence capability. Our client is a specialist technology consultancy delivering secure information exchange solutions into Defence, National Security and other highly regulated environments. Their work supports some of the UK's most complex programmes, helping organisations securely share information, integrate systems and develop innovative capabilities for tomorrow's operational challenges. As the team continues to grow, they're looking for a Solution Architect to work alongside senior architects, engineers and customers to design secure, integrated technical solutions across Defence experimentation, capability development and operational programmes. The Opportunity This is an opportunity to work on genuinely interesting architecture challenges where you'll bridge operational requirements and technical delivery.
