## About the Role

Experience of delivering architecture within one or more of the following environments is required:

 * Large Government Departments
 * Policing, law enforcement or Public Safety
 * Large-scale, security-sensitive digital services
 * Programmes involving legacy modernisation, cloud migration or replacement of business-critical systems

Technical Experience:

 * Strong experience working as a Solution Architect within complex digital delivery environments associated to national policing systems.
 * Good application architecture and solution design experience, ideally across multiple products or services rather than a single technology stack.
 * Experience designing modern applications and services using approaches such as APIs, microservices, event-driven integration and cloud-native patterns.
 * Good understanding of the relationship between application architecture, infrastructure and software engineering.
 * Experience working directly with software engineers, technical leads, DevOps engineers and delivery teams.
 * Ability to translate requirements and problems into clear architecture options and practical solution designs.
 * Experience defining and working with non-functional requirements.
 * Understanding of security, resilience, scalability, availability, observability and operational considerations within solution design.
 * Ability to work with incomplete or evolving requirements and provide sufficient architectural direction without unnecessarily constraining engineering teams.
 * Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
 * Ability to work across several products or technical problems concurrently and prioritise architecture effort according to delivery need.

## Description

* Develop, review and maintain solution and application architectures across a range of digital products and services, translating business and technical requirements into pragmatic, deliverable designs.
 * Produce architecture and design artefacts at an appropriate level of detail, including application, integration, data and technology/infrastructure views.
 * Review and evaluate technical proposals, solution options and designs, identifying trade-offs and providing clear recommendations to support delivery decisions.
 * Work closely with engineering teams to ensure architecture is implementable and aligned with modern engineering practices, rather than simply producing architecture documentation.
 * Provide architecture input throughout the product lifecycle, from early discovery and design through development, transition and operation.
 * Support the design of solutions deployed within AWS, including consideration of compute, networking, storage, security, resilience, availability, observability and operational support.
 * Work with engineering teams on DevOps and CI/CD approaches, helping ensure that architecture supports effective automated build, test, deployment and operation.
 * Understand and contribute to Infrastructure as Code approaches, particularly Terraform, and how infrastructure design and application architecture work together.
 * Define and assure non-functional requirements, including performance, availability, resilience, scalability, security, supportability and maintainability.
 * Identify architectural risks, technical debt, dependencies and constraints, working with delivery teams to determine appropriate mitigation or resolution.
 * Support integration between products, shared services and external systems, considering APIs, events, data flows and wider end-to-end dependencies.
 * Ensure architecture decisions and rationale are appropriately captured and maintained.
 * Contribute to architecture governance and assurance, helping teams navigate governance pragmatically while maintaining appropriate technical standards.
 * Work collaboratively with other architects and engineering specialists to establish reusable patterns, standards and approaches across multiple products.
 * Act as a technical problem solver, helping teams investigate complex or cross-cutting technical issues and develop viable solution options.
 * Communicate architecture effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, adapting the level of detail to the audience., Enterprise Infrastructure Architect - Banking 6 months Remote/London - 3 days a week on-site £900p/d - INSIDE IR35 Job Purpose Drive technology discipline ensuring consistent standards are applied acr…
