About Us At GCHQ, we unlock the complex world of data and communications to keep the UK and its citizens safe, both in the real world and online. Working closely with our British Intelligence partners in MI5 and MI6, we protect the UK from threats including serious organised crime, terrorism, and cyber-attacks. A role in GCHQ means you'll have varied and fascinating work in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork. The Role As a Principal Solutions Architect, you'll join our growing IT Infrastructure community and adopt a mission-driven focus. This is your opportunity to test your skills in a role with real purpose, applying technology in more creative ways. You'll be part of a team that's providing additional technical oversight to ensure high-quality outcomes. But rather than being aligned to a component of our IT infrastructure baseline, or a technical specialism, you'll be working across a series of fast-paced deliveries. You'll be accountable for one or more tasks that surpasses traditional technical boundaries. Working with complex integration points, you'll negotiate and trade against information assurance, risk, resource, cost and mission policy, at a system level.

You must be able to demonstrate the ability to provide flexible technical leadership across a diverse portfolio. You'll enjoy working with evolving requirements, cutting across technical boundaries and uncertainty, while delivering consistently at scale and pace. You're also used to investigating problems and comfortable with making decisions, where there is no precedent. Crucially, you have the ability to develop creative and innovative solutions to solve some of our more unique challenges. In addition, you're a sound communicator and able to translate deep technical requirements and strategy into clear business outcomes. You're confident in presenting technical and business arguments to seniors, peers and staff alike. Training and Development GCHQ has a culture of supporting continuous personal development, especially when it comes to technical knowledge and skills. In this role, you'll find plenty of opportunities to develop or extend your skillset on the job, via online learning or in-person courses. As a leader in your field, we'll ask you to attend technical conferences and research future technologies. This will ensure you have the knowledge and tools to introduce, test and de-risk emerging technologies. We'll also encourage you to gain certifications in relevant topics, and develop leadership, management, interpersonal and other business skills, alongside your technical skillset. Rewards and Benefits You'll receive a starting salary of £62,592 - £68,246, plus other benefits including: - 25 days Annual Leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days public and privilege holidays - Opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme - Opportunities to work flexibly, subject to business needs - Interest-free season ticket loan - Excellent pension scheme - Cycle to work scheme - Facilities such as a subsidised gym and restaurant, and on-site coffee bars (at some locations) - Paid parental and adoption leave At GCHQ diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission.
