A major focus of the environment is around modern defence technology and AI-enabled systems. You ll be working on programmes exploring technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, secure cloud services, edge computing, data fabric, data-centred security, and advanced cyber security platforms. They re looking for someone who understands how to translate these emerging technologies into practical, supportable solutions that can operate effectively within secure defence environments. You ll spend your time designing and assuring technical architectures across infrastructure, applications, integrations, data platforms, and operational systems, ensuring solutions are scalable, interoperable, secure, and aligned with both operational and enterprise requirements. There s also a strong focus around hybrid cloud, private cloud, Kubernetes, secure networking, and modern platform architecture, particularly within environments where legacy and modern technologies need to coexist successfully.

Experience working in R&D within defence, MOD, NATO, government, or other highly regulated environments is highly desirable, especially where you ve supported secure systems, cloud transformation, operational technology, or complex integration programmes previously. They re looking for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, influencing technical direction, and helping organisations modernise their technology environments without compromising security, resilience, or operational effectiveness. If you enjoy architecture work that has genuine strategic importance, exposure to emerging defence technologies, and the opportunity to shape large-scale secure technical environments, this is a role well worth exploring.
