DWP. Digital with Purpose.


We are looking for a Senior Technical Architect to join our community of tech experts in DWP Digital.

We're using fresh ideas and leading-edge tech to build and maintain digital solutions that will be used by nearly every person in the UK, every day and at key moments in their lives.

DWP is the UK's largest government department. We help people into work and make payments worth over £195bn a year to support and empower millions of people.

The skills, knowledge and experience you need:

  • Architecture design across on-prem, cloud and hybrid environments involving networking, security, presentation, middleware, database, and integration aspects.
  • Architecture design informed through use of principles, patterns, technical radars, practices and standards.
  • Architecture design working with project delivery teams within agile, waterfall and hybrid environments throughout the lifecycle - from concept to go-live.
  • Translating business requirements into technical solutions with traceability that can be demonstrated to stakeholders.
  • Architecture design through use of architecture modelling techniques and tools to devise and represent.
  • Microservice and API-led architecture and integration design tools, techniques and best practice.
  • Event-based architecture design, patterns (including pub-sub and data streaming), modelling techniques, tools and standards.
  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Serverless and Function as a Service and managing cloud resources for scalability, performance, and cost-efficiency.


Delivery. Work. Projects.

This Senior Technical Architect role at DWP Digital offers the opportunity to work on one of the largest digital transformations in Europe.

This role is all about improving how citizens interact with DWP, particularly through contact channels and document management, while ensuring data security and compliance with legal frameworks.


You'll provide expert advice, and create solution options across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments. You'll use modern design principles, modelling techniques, and integration strategies including microservices, APIs, and event-based architectures.



Details. Wages. Perks.


Location:
You'll join us in one of our brilliant digital hubs in Birmingham, Blackpool, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Sheffield, whichever is most convenient for you.

Hybrid Working: We work a hybrid model - you'll spend some time working at home (40%) and some time collaborating face to face in a hub (60%).

Pay: We offer competitive pay for this role of up to £83,917 - this includes a Government Digital and Data Allowance based on our assessment of your capability at interview.

Pension: You'll get a brilliant civil service pension with employer contributions of 28.97%, worth £16,786 per year.

Holidays: A generous leave package starting at 26 days rising to 31 days over time.


We have a broad benefits package built around your work-life balance which includes:

  • An award-winning environment and culture: Employer of the Year 2023 (Women In IT Awards), Founders Award for Outstanding Digital Leadership 2023
  • Flexible working including flexible hours and flex-friendly policies
  • Time off volunteering and charitable giving
  • Bring your authentic self to work with 'I Can Be Me in DWP'
