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. The role involves 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. It also includes owning and managing technical risk for the product groups you’re accountable for, while supporting our product teams in their technical decisions and designs.

Technical architects tend to be ‘T’-shaped, meaning they maintain both broad technical knowledge and one or more technical specialism, in depth. These specialisms may include software development, data architecture, security, cloud technologies and others. MI5’s architecture community (guild) is supportive and inclusive. It is responsible for designing and delivering real-world architectural solutions to strategic requirements from a range of business areas across the organisation and partner agencies. Whether delivering a platform for analysing data systems to support investigations, providing compliance services that ensure legal operation, or developing tools that enhance developer experience, the work presents unique and fascinating challenges.
