Job Description

Architecture and technology leadership are crucial to MI5’s ability to move at pace and deliver the strategic technology change we need to stay ahead. We need technology leaders to help set and deliver our ambitious technology strategy. We are moving into a product-centred organisation and, as we evolve in this direction, we need senior technologists to help us develop our capabilities, ensuring we make the best use of recent innovations in technology while also pushing these boundaries even further with our internal engineering teams. MI5 makes use of modern approaches and cloud technologies such as AWS and Azure, as well as on-premises platforms and long-established technologies and frameworks.

Job Responsibility

  • Leading and managing technical architecture at both the product and product-group level, including the delivery and prototyping of new, secure, scalable, and robust capabilities
  • Owning and managing technical risk for the product groups you’re accountable for, while supporting our product teams in their technical decisions and designs
  • Setting the strategic direction for our products and technologies, guiding decisions on the future of products, platforms or services, and enabling the decommissioning of legacy ones
  • Working closely with engineers and senior stakeholders to ensure alignment of vision and act as a force multiplier to increase delivery pace, manage technical and compliance risk, and maintain coherence across the organisation’s wider product landscape
  • Bridging the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders, working with a range of technical specialists to make decisions on risk and technology strategy
  • Providing the appropriate level of support, leadership and direction where required to aid the development and growth of others, taking various forms including coaching and mentoring across the technical community

Requirements

  • Demonstrate a technical background, e.g. data science, software engineering or security engineering
  • Demonstrate experience of turning business problems into technical designs, including designing complex solutions and evaluating the merits of different technical and commercial options and approaches
  • Demonstrate experience of leading multiple successful product deliveries, developing technology roadmaps with empowered product teams, as well as guiding and supporting less-experienced individuals

Nice to have

  • Passion for continuous learning and good communication skills
  • Experience in guiding and supporting less-experienced colleagues, helping to build capability and foster a collaborative, high-performing environment

What we offer

  • 25 days’ annual leave, automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days of public and privilege holidays
  • Opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme
  • A dedicated development budget
  • An interest-free season ticket loan
  • An excellent pension scheme
  • A cycle to work scheme
  • Facilities such as a gym, restaurant and on-site coffee bars (at some locations)
  • Paid parental and adoption leave
