THE ROLE
You would create the technical designs for migrating two legacy working age benefits off an older platform and onto a single multi benefit service.
Alongside that you would develop designs delivering new capability across the modernisation programme, and support the delivery teams optimising their sub services as the multi benefit service scales.
This is beta work on a service already accepting, paying and closing real claims for real people.
It is not greenfield and it is not a slide deck exercise.
The designs you produce go through a technical design authority for approval.
ESSENTIAL
- Architecture design across on-premise, cloud and hybrid environments, covering networking, security, presentation, middleware, database and integration
- Architecture design informed by principles, patterns, technical radars, practices and standards
- Architecture design alongside delivery teams in agile, waterfall and hybrid environments, from concept through to go live
- Translating business requirements into technical solutions, with traceability you can demonstrate to stakeholders
- Architecture modelling techniques and tools
MANDATORY TECHNOLOGY
- Microservice and API led architecture design
- Event based architecture design and patterns, including publish subscribe and data streaming
- Public cloud technologies, design patterns and best practice — AWS, Azure or GCP

WHY THIS ONE
The programme runs into 2027, so there is a real body of work behind this rather than a single piece of design.
It is also a role with real breadth.
You are designing across the full stack on a service that cannot go down, and taking those designs through governance yourself.
