We are seeking multiple Solution Architect’s, to work across a suite of government based projects in a newly formed innovation arena. Playing a key role in defining the technical direction of a large-scale, highly secure software platform.

This role would suit someone who has progressed from a strong Software Engineering background into Solution Architecture. They're looking for someone who still understands what good engineering looks like, enjoys working closely with development teams and can make pragmatic architectural decisions that support long-term product growth.

The successful candidates will work on cutting-edge projects within the security and defence sectors, providing innovative software solutions to critical national infrastructure and ensuring the highest levels of confidentiality, integrity and security in everything you do.

You'll take ownership of the architecture strategy, technology roadmap and technical governance, while mentoring engineers and helping evolve a modern platform built predominantly in Python.

Experience designing scalable Python-based systems, alongside cloud-native architectures, microservices and containerised applications, will be highly beneficial. You'll also help shape the adoption of AI and Machine Learning capabilities where they add genuine value, ensuring solutions remain secure, scalable and maintainable.

Key experience we're looking for:

• A background in Software Engineering before moving into Solution Architecture
• Strong experience with Python and modern software engineering practices
• Cloud architecture and distributed systems
• Microservices and containerisation
• Architecture governance and technical leadership
• Security, scalability and performance
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

This is an excellent opportunity to influence the architecture of a complex platform, work alongside talented engineering teams and have genuine ownership over technical direction.
