Technical Solution Architect

About the role

We are searching for a Technical Architecture Lead to guide a cross functional IT program within the public sector. This position is responsible for establishing the technological direction of our initiatives. You will operate at the intersection of strategy and implementation. Your main focus is to ensure that our solutions are robust, sustainable, and aligned with public sector standards. Your primary mission is to define the technical blueprint for Java based systems. You will act as a central point of reference for architectural decisions. Collaboration with multiple departments is essential to align technology with public service objectives. You will work closely with engineering teams to translate high level goals into actionable technical strategies.

Key responsibilities include designing the foundational architecture for large scale Java applications. You will assess current services and data flows within the organization. Based on this assessment, you will create integration patterns that connect diverse technical environments. This includes considerations for legacy systems and modern platforms. You will provide guidance to development teams on structure and best practices. This involves code reviews, design discussions, and verification of technical specifications. Your goal is to ensure that solutions remain maintainable and adaptable. You will validate that system components function together securely. Special consideration is given to compliance with public sector regulations and standards.

Delivery will occur in iterative increments. Each increment should demonstrate tangible progress and interoperability. You will coordinate reviews with engineers to confirm designs meet long term goals. Maintaining flexibility while preserving architectural coherence is a core challenge. You will support the continuous refinement of solutions as regulations and platforms evolve. Stakeholder communication is a critical part of this role. You will engage with decision makers to clarify requirements and constraints. You must translate complex technical concepts into accessible narratives. This ensures that all parties share a common understanding of the technical direction. You will adjust technical pathways as needed without losing strategic alignment.

Required qualifications include hands on experience with Java architectures. You must have a proven track record in complex organizational settings. The ability to manage integration complexity while promoting simplicity is essential. Strong communication skills are required for interactions with technical and non technical audiences. You must demonstrate a commitment to quality delivery practices. This includes maintaining high standards for code, tests, and infrastructure. Experience in public administration is advantageous but not mandatory. A deep understanding of regulated environments is considered a valuable asset. Core skills revolve around the Java ecosystem. You will utilize this expertise to address government scale requirements. Your work will result in documentation and interfaces used by other teams. This ensures that architectural knowledge is shared and retained.

Practical information regarding this role is available on the official application page. Details such as location and engagement type will be confirmed there. Compensation for this position is structured according to public sector guidelines.

What you'll do

• Investigate the current landscape of public sector digital initiatives to uncover architectural constraints and opportunities.
• Construct a high level technical blueprint that defines the target state for Java based systems and integration flows.
• Evaluate existing services, data pipelines, and infrastructure components to identify gaps and risks.
• Design integration patterns that enable secure and reliable communication between legacy platforms and modern environments.
• Establish architectural guardrails and best practice guidelines for development teams to ensure consistency.
• Lead code reviews and design discussions to validate that implementations adhere to the defined architecture.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to break down strategic goals into technical tasks and deliverables.
• Verify that system components meet security, scalability, and interoperability requirements through rigorous analysis.
• Document architectural decisions, trade offs, and rationales to maintain clarity for current and future stakeholders.
• Facilitate sessions with cross functional stakeholders to align technology roadmaps with public service objectives.
• Monitor the evolution of regulations and platforms to adapt the architecture without losing strategic coherence.
• Support the delivery of iterative increments that demonstrate tangible progress and enable continuous feedback.
• Translate complex technical concepts into accessible narratives for decision makers and non technical audiences.
• Ensure that all architectural outputs are aligned with compliance standards and governance frameworks.
• Act as the central architectural authority, resolving disputes and guiding the technical direction of the program.

Requirements

• Possess hands on experience with Java architectures in complex organizational environments.
• Demonstrate a proven track record of delivering solutions in public sector or regulated settings.
• Show the ability to manage integration complexity while advocating for simplicity and maintainability.
• Exhibit strong communication skills to effectively interact with technical and non technical stakeholders.
• Commit to quality delivery practices that uphold high standards for code, tests, and infrastructure.
• Understand the implications of working within regulated environments and the need for compliance.
• Apply deep knowledge of the Java ecosystem to address challenges at government scale.
• Produce clear documentation and interface definitions that enable other teams to adopt architectural standards.
