We run around 294 days' worth of testing every day through automation. Our APIs receive 173 million requests, and we spin up 280,000 AWS servers every month. Over 22 million people - 1/3 of the UK's adult population access our services daily. Over 100,000 colleagues and agents use the kit, tools and systems we roll out. We build and maintain systems behind payments worth over £195bn payments annually. What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? Experience working with and deploying applications on the Pega platform through a variety of technical deployment and integration technologies. Significant demonstrable experience of developing and supporting AWS cloud-based applications. Strong working knowledge of writing and maintaining Infrastructure, and Configuration as Code. Extensive experience of using Unix/Linux/Windows in a support and/or development environment including scripting languages. Demonstrable experience of working in a DevOps environment - Continuous Integration & Deployment, Delivery methods and techniques, including agile scrum experience. Strong working knowledge and practical experience of implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines. Proven ability and experience of supporting, guiding, and developing Engineers across multidisciplinary teams in an agile environment.

You'll also play a key role in promoting engineering ownership across teams, helping to embed best practices and ensure the services we run are reliable and well looked after. Working closely with product teams, you'll gather requirements, evaluate tools, and deliver practical solutions, while also getting stuck into provisioning environments and resolving live issues when they arise. A big part of your work will involve Pega based case management systems, so we're looking for someone with strong experience in that space who can help ensure workflows are robust, reliable, and fit for purpose. Hybrid Working We work a hybrid model - you'll spend some time working at home and some time collaborating face to face in a hub. Pay We offer competitive pay of up to £80,664.

This role aligns against the Lead Technical Architect Role from the Government Digital and Data Framework. Our Lead Architects will work to understand our technology, our business, and our people (colleagues, stakeholders, and users of our services), and to create an ambitious and pragmatic vision for our teams, using their technical expertise to bring our challenges and opportunities into focus alongside the views of other professions in our leadership team. In LAA Digital believe that architecture is not purely a technical discipline. The systems we build are shaped by the teams that build them, the organisational structures they sit within, and the communication patterns between the people involved. Our architects think about how team structures, domain boundaries, and organisational dynamics shape systems - and how the systems we design, in turn, shape the organisation. We are looking for people who understand that designing great systems means co-designing the social and technical dimensions together, and who bring both technical depth and organisational awareness to their work. This role requires clear communication and structured thinking skills. A Lead Architect can see the big picture, understanding our complex technology landscape, and can clearly and effectively communicate with both specialist and non-specialist audiences. By building trust, developing great relationships, and empathising with others you will support the development of the architecture community and engineering leadership within your service area, providing guidance, mentorship, and technical leadership across teams.
