Lead Technical Architect: up to £89,995, plus 28.97% pension, hybrid working, flexible hours and great work life balance.

DWP. Digital with Purpose.

We want a Lead technical Architect to join a flourishing, supportive tech community delivering one of the largest digital transformations in Europe.

We're building on recent successes like bringing our IT in-house, introducing elements such as automation and self-service to our digital services, and accelerating the adoption of public cloud.

DWP is the UK's largest government department, responsible for helping people into work and making payments worth over £195 billion a year to support some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

You'll play a crucial role in transforming public services used by nearly every person in the UK at key moments in their lives. The scale of our work is extraordinary, and our purpose is unique. We would love for you to join us.

Delivery. Work. Projects.

In this role you'll work with our Specialist Devices team, who deliver the right specialist devices and services used by DWP colleagues.

In Specialist Devices, we have responsibility for macOS and the physical and virtual environments and solutions for our 3,000 Engineering users.

You will also have a remit to look at emerging alternative device solutions for particular use cases which provides the team with a varied and interesting workload, often at the forefront of new technology and adoption in DWP.

You will lead on the design, build, and running of products, developing and testing solutions, as we re-engineer our entire engineering environment.

We want to put the right devices in the right hands, so that our people can deliver great service to DWP customers. You'll be the architectural lead for the replacement of approximately 8,500 customer-facing devices used in Jobcentres, ensuring accessibility, ease of use, and data security.

We've got ambitious plans for changing and improving the basic technology underpinning customer computers. We want to radically change the platform and improve the experience of our internal user base. And we will be creating a data-centred capability to support Digital Workspaces service improvement.

It's big, complex stuff, which will transform how DWP works, for us and for our customers. We need you to help us get it right.

Your essential skills, knowledge and experience

Lead criterion - Architecture design and modelling techniques, patterns, tools and standards.
Experience in End User devices, including back-end management and support infrastructure e.g. AD, ADFS, ADCS, DNS, DHCP, CMS5, PKI and SSO.
Experience of operating systems in Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop.
Experience of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions such as VMware Horizon, Citrix, Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS), and Azure Virtual Desktop.
Technical authoring skills, particularly for the production of technical design and specification documents.
Experience with presenting to senior stakeholders.

Details. Wages. Perks.

Location: You'll join us in one of our brilliant digital hubs in either Blackpool or Manchester whichever is most convenient for you.

Hybrid Work: We work a hybrid model, with some time at home and some time in a hub with the team.

Pay: We offer competitive pay from £72,664 to £89,995

Pension: You'll be eligible for a brilliant civil service pension with employer contributions of 28.97%, worth up to £21,059 a year.
