We want you to identify, bring together, share and refine reference patterns and architectures. You'll influence technology choices in our infrastructure domain to ensure consistent, coherent and excellent architecture design.

You'll work across delivery projects in DWP Digital to ensure we are producing design artefacts of the right standard, and give advice to other Solution Architects, Product Owners and other multidisciplinary technologists on our teams, as our expert on design elements of their solutions.
