The Opportunity:

We are seeking an experienced Technical Architect to support a central government client in reviewing and improving the architecture of an existing national surveillance system for an established digital platform within a complex public-sector environment for a prominent government agency (end-client).

This is an opportunity to shape its technical direction, identify practical improvements and support its move towards a more resilient, scalable and sustainable service; identifying risks and dependencies, reducing technical gaps and developing practical recommendations to improve resilience, scalability and cloud cost efficiency.

* Good understanding of cloud architecture, ideally Azure and/or AWS.

* Experience with technical governance, architectural assurance and technical risk management.

* Ability to translate complex technical findings into clear recommendations, prioritised actions and delivery plans.

* This is an excellent opportunity for a technically hands-on Technical Architect to shape and deliver complex solutions within a critical public health service.

Role and Responsibilities:

* Review existing system architecture, technical dependencies, technical debt and risks.

* Identify opportunities for technical rationalisation, cloud cost optimisation and improved resilience.

* Provide technical assurance and input into the prioritisation of backlog items and the forward roadmap.

* Work closely with Product, Delivery, Engineering, support teams and delivery partners to support technical planning and sequencing.

* Help transition the existing surveillance system into a sustainable operating model, providing clear technical documentation and knowledge transfer.
