Data Architect

We are seeking a Data Architect to lead the design and delivery of secure, cloud-based data platforms for UK Central Government departments. The role combines architectural strategy with delivery oversight – shaping target-state architectures while ensuring they are implemented pragmatically within regulated, security-conscious environments. This position will suit an architect who can move comfortably between traditional enterprise data approaches and modern patterns such as lakehouse, streaming, data mesh and ML-enabled platforms – and who values clarity, governance and technical rigour.
