Technical Architect

As a Technical Architect, you will design and guide the implementation of technical solutions for modern digital services. You will analyse complex technical problems, translate them into clear actionable designs, and support engineering teams throughout delivery. You will work closely with developers, Dev Ops engineers, and delivery teams to ensure solutions are scalable, secure and aligned with architectural principles. Your strong hands-on technical background enables you to provide pragmatic, real-world guidance and ensure designs remain feasible throughout the delivery lifecycle.

You will also collaborate with non-technical stakeholders, ensuring architectural decisions are understood, well-communicated and aligned with business outcomes.
