You will work with multidisciplinary agile teams within a large, complex technical estate where long-standing core systems sit alongside modern cloud services.

This is a strategic technical role in a structured, governed environment where architecture decisions, security and long-term maintainability directly affect service outcomes for millions of users. It suits someone who enjoys staying close to delivery teams rather than designing at a distance from them.
