The Role
Please note this role requires you to pass Security Check clearance. Please click on the link for details.
We’re recruiting for a Lead Integration Architect here at Justice Digital, Data and Science, to join the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), working within the Chief Architect function and under the Head of Integration. You will provide architectural leadership across our integration landscape, helping ensure that services and data can be connected securely, reliably and consistently across the Ministry of Justice.
OCTO sets technical direction across the organisation. It defines standards, shapes shared platforms and ways of working and supports teams to build and operate systems that are secure, reliable and sustainable.
We are establishing a new integration hub to enable more consistent, reusable and governed approaches to how systems interact across the MoJ estate. This will play a key role in reducing point-to-point integrations, improving interoperability, and enabling services to evolve more independently.
As a Lead Integration Architect, you will shape the architecture and approach for this integration hub and the wider integration ecosystem. You will define and champion integration patterns and standards (such as APIs, events and messaging), ensuring that teams can design and deliver integrations that are robust, reusable and aligned to organisational strategy.
You will work across organisational boundaries, supporting integration not only within the Ministry of Justice but increasingly across the wider Criminal Justice System, enabling better data and service interoperability between departments and partner agencies.
You will collaborate closely with product teams, platform teams and other architects to guide the design of integrations between systems, helping to reduce duplication, improve reuse and ensure services remain loosely coupled but well connected.
We are a flexible organisation, and we understand that people can't always work 5 days a week or might have responsibilities that sometimes clash with standard office hours. We work as flexibly as we can, including offering part time hours, so if in doubt please do get in touch. If you're the right candidate, we will do our best to work around you.
