We’re a growing tech consultancy that creates user-centred solutions with purpose for our clients in government, healthcare and purpose-driven businesses. As a Technical Architect you'll contribute to software development projects, ensuring that the applications are efficient, performant and user-friendly. You’ll broaden your experience while connecting with experts across the practice, gaining and sharing insights, and benefitting from opportunities to grow your career.
You’ll use your experience of defining and implementing software architectures using patterns and best-practice approaches to define detailed designs that form part of large enterprise-scale applications to meet our clients’ business outcomes.
As attendance at these sites is a routine part of the role’s working pattern and involves frequent local travel, travel expenses are not covered.

You don’t need to have had the job title of technical architect before – but we will want you to demonstrate experience of technical architecture.

- Identify and adhere to architecture quality attributes and/or non-functional requirements.
- Evaluate and introduce innovative new patterns, approaches and technologies into project teams (TOGAF, Zachman, Open Agile Architecture).
- Experience of delivering digital services and the GDS toolkit for the UK Government would be useful for many of our projects. It will be valuable (and essential for some contractor roles) if you are familiar with these activities and concepts: the Service Manual, Agile delivery phases.
- Good understanding of DevOps and in-life service management.
A competitive package including a 7% employer pension contribution, share options and a discretionary bonus.
