Solutions Architect About Scrumconnect Scrumconnect Consulting is a UK-based digital transformation consultancy delivering secure, scalable, and user-centred solutions across government and enterprise organisations. We specialise in agile delivery, cloud platforms, data, and modern engineering practices, helping clients build reliable services that meet high operational and compliance standards. Role Overview We are looking for a Solution Architect to help a major UK government client shape and deliver change that adds value for citizens and the public sector, taking applications and services from early concept through to detailed design and delivery. You will work in a large, complex estate where long-standing core systems sit alongside modern cloud services, so much of the work involves integrating the two and modernising safely. Some of the time, you will be getting under the skin of new requests at pace, working out what they touch and whether they are feasible. At other times, you will work closely with delivery squads to see designs through in detail. This role suits someone who moves quickly, asks sharp questions early and is just as comfortable rolling up their sleeves with a team as framing the big picture. Key responsibilities Get to grips with new change requests quickly, asking the right questions of business, product and technical stakeholders to understand impacts across systems, data and integrations. Run rapid feasibility assessments, setting out options, risks, dependencies and rough effort estimates so decisions can be made quickly. Architect applications and subsystems from high-level concepts through detailed design to delivery, working with engineering squads through backlog shaping, design reviews and sprint planning. Design pragmatic integration and migration approaches between Legacy core systems and modern cloud services, protecting the stability of live services. Produce proportionate designs and solution briefs, recording decisions so squads can build with confidence. Act as a key technical contact for a product area alongside the lead engineer, helping prioritise which designs are needed and when. Take designs through architecture governance and design authority, aligned with the client's reference architectures, design guidance and technology standards. Support technical roadmaps and discovery work, harvest reusable patterns from squads and mentor more junior colleagues. Required skills and experience Proven experience architecting applications and subsystems from initial concept through to live delivery (discovery, Alpha, beta and live), staying with solutions through build rather than handing over a design and walking away. Ability to demonstrate examples of solutions you have architected end to end, the key decisions you made and what you would do differently. Ability to assess change quickly and form a clear view on feasibility and impact, working at pace with incomplete information. Strong experience in Legacy estates: integrating established core systems and data stores with cloud-native services, and planning incremental modernisation without disrupting live services. Broad hands-on AWS experience and knowledge of modern integration patterns such as APIs, event-driven and messaging approaches. Confidence in making and recording decisions using ADRs and trade-off analysis, working within reference architectures, standards and reusable patterns. Understanding of information security, data protection and threat modelling fundamentals. Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience delivering digital services in UK central government or regulated environments, within agile squads and governed design assurance processes. A degree in computer science, engineering or a related technical subject, or equivalent professional experience. Desirable TOGAF or AWS architecture certifications. Familiarity with a modern open-source stack, ideally Java/Spring Boot, Next.js and Ruby, running on AWS. Experience designing services delivered through automated CI/CD pipelines, with behaviour-driven development and automated testing built in. Experience choosing technology within an approved enterprise catalogue or set of open standards, and making the case when something new is needed. Familiarity with the Technology Code of Practice and GOV.UK Service Standard. Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion At Scrumconnect Consulting, we believe diversity drives innovation. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and supported. We actively encourage applications from women, people with disabilities, individuals from under-represented communities, and those seeking flexible working arrangements.

Manage changes to scope, cost or schedule through a clear change control process. Run project meetings, such as kick-offs, stand-ups and retrospectives. Capture lessons learned and use them to improve how we run projects. Required Skills and Experience Proven experience managing multiple concurrent projects in a similar role, typically three years or more. Strong planning and budgeting skills, including building and maintaining plans, budgets and resource forecasts that hold up under scrutiny. Strong risk management skills, including identifying and quantifying risks, driving mitigations to completion and knowing when to escalate. Excellent stakeholder management across client, supplier and internal audiences, with the confidence to hold a position under challenge. Experience managing formal change control, including the commercial consequences of a change. Confidence in using project management tools. Ability to prioritise and stay calm under pressure. Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Desirable Experience delivering projects in UK government or the wider public sector, within structured and governed environments. Experience of public sector procurement, including buying routes. A recognised qualification such as PRINCE2, APM PMQ, PMP or Agile/Scrum. Familiarity with the GDS Service Manual and service assessments. Experience working in blended, multi-supplier delivery teams. Experience managing work across more than one client or department at the same time.

Lead AI Engineer This role requires once in a week travel to Newcastle. About Scrumconnect Consulting Scrumconnect Consulting is a multi-award-winning digital consultancy, recognised for delivering impactful and innovative technology solutions across UK government departments. Our work has positively influenced the lives of over 40 million UK citizens. We are passionate about user-centred design, agile delivery, and building digital services that make a real difference - and we're now scaling that expertise into large, high-stakes AI adoption programmes across the public sector. Overview We're looking for a Lead AI Engineer to be the hands-on technical builder at the core of a large-scale AI Operating Model programme for a central government department. Where the Lead Technical Architect sets direction, you turn it into working, production-grade systems - semantic search, RAG pipelines, and broader generative AI capability - integrated into complex Legacy and multi-cloud environments handling high-volume, sensitive public sector data. You'll work inside a collaborative "Rainbow Team" alongside civil servants and the wider delivery team, staying close to the code while also mentoring engineers and helping build the internal capability the department needs to eventually run these systems without long-term reliance on external suppliers. Key ResponsibilitiesHands-On Build & Delivery Design, build, and ship production AI components - RAG pipelines, retrieval and embedding infrastructure, orchestration logic, and integration layers - writing high-quality, tested, maintainable code and staying close to implementation rather than delegating it away. Technical Leadership Within the Squad Lead the engineering practice within your delivery team: set coding standards, review designs and pull requests, unblock technically complex problems, and mentor other engineers day to day. Responsible AI in Practice Implement the guardrails the Architect designs - bias mitigation checks, evaluation harnesses, human-in-the-loop review points - so that Responsible AI principles (ATRS alignment, NCSC "Secure by Design, " meaningful human control) are enforced in the running system, not just on paper. Reliability, Security & Observability Build AI services to be secure-by-default and observable in production: logging, monitoring, alerting, and rollback paths appropriate for sensitive public-sector data and high-availability requirements. Knowledge Transfer & Capability Uplift Work within the OKUA (Ownership, Knowledge, Understanding, Awareness) framework and "Docs-as-Code" practices to pair with and upskill internal government engineers, so capability genuinely transfers rather than staying locked in the consultancy team.

Problem Solving (Practitioner) - diagnosing and resolving complex, ambiguous technical issues under production pressure. ? Agile Working (Practitioner) - delivering iteratively within a blended, multidisciplinary team including civil servants. Given the scale of this programme, direct hands-on depth across the AI engineering stack is essential: 'strong general-purpose programming (most commonly Python) applied to AI/ML systems ? Semantic search, vector/embedding infrastructure, and RAG pipeline construction ? LLM orchestration and agentic frameworks (eg LangChain/LlamaIndex-style tooling, multi-agent patterns) ? Prompt engineering and systematic evaluation/guardrail tooling (hallucination detection, safety testing) ? LLMOps/MLOps - model versioning, deployment, monitoring, and rollback for AI services in production ? Cloud-native engineering across major providers (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including their AI/ML tooling ? Containerisation and infrastructure-as-code for repeatable, auditable deployments ? Secure-by-design engineering appropriate to sensitive public-sector data Desirable Experience ? AWS/Azure/GCP certifications (associate or professional level) ? Prior delivery of AI or digital services within UK central government or wider public sector ? Experience fine-tuning or adapting open-source/foundation models for a specific domain ? Open-source contributions or active engagement in AI/ML engineering communities ? Experience designing for sustainability/Green IT commitments The technological capabilities can span a wide range of AI and automation tools, including Virtual Assistants, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Generative AI, Frontier LLMs, and Predictive AI. A strong candidate would have experience/exposure to nuances of these tools/technologies. Location and Working Pattern Hybrid, based from Newcastle upon Tyne, with on-site attendance required for workshops, knowledge-transfer sessions, and onboarding. All production system and data access must be performed solely from within the UK. How We Work Our values: ?
