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. You ll be involved throughout the full lifecycle, supporting technical governance, design authorities, architecture reviews, supplier assurance activities, and wider engineering teams delivering operational capability into live environments. Stakeholder engagement is a huge part of the role as well. You ll work closely with Enterprise Architects, Operational Analysts, engineering teams, MOD stakeholders, security authorities, and industry partners, so being able to communicate complex technical concepts clearly is very important here.

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. If it sounds like the kind of challenge you d enjoy, apply now or get in touch to find out more.
