As Lead Integration Architect, you’ll set the direction for integration across Justice Digital, Data and Science, and increasingly across the wider Criminal Justice System, working with partner organisations to enable better service and data connectivity.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Guide and assure integration designs to ensure solutions are robust, reusable and loosely coupled
- Reduce duplication and encourage reuse of shared capabilities
- Influence technical decisions and identify opportunities for simplification and transformation
- Mentor architects and engineers, building integration capability and strengthening the architecture community
- Communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
What We’re Looking For
- Integration architecture patterns (APIs, event‑driven, messaging, async integration)
- Designing and evolving integration ecosystems (API management, service‑to‑service comms, reducing point‑to‑point complexity)
- Secure integration (authentication, authorisation, identity e.g. OAuth2 / service‑to‑service auth)
- Integrating legacy and modern systems to enable gradual modernisation and decoupling
- Translating technical concepts clearly across multidisciplinary teams and senior stakeholders
Relevant Experience (experience In Some, Not Necessarily All, Areas)
