Technology Architect in Sydney

Senior roles in cloud, delivery, engineering, and change.

Key requirements

• You must be an Australian Citizen — this is a federal government role requiring the ability to obtain Baseline security clearance.
• You must be based in Melbourne, VIC or Sydney, NSW (or willing to relocate) — hybrid working applies after an initial 2-week onsite period.

You bring demonstrated senior-level chops translating complex business and ICT requirements into end-to-end solution architectures, with the ability to influence executives and governance bodies.

The vibe of the role:

• Designing conceptual, logical and end-to-end solution architectures aligned to strategic priorities.
• Leading architecture analysis, producing artefacts and recommendations that drive executive decisions.
• Championing innovation, continuous improvement and knowledge-sharing across the agency.
• Building relationships and negotiating outcomes with diverse internal and external stakeholders.

Heads up on the working arrangement: You'll be onsite full-time for the first 6 weeks before hybrid flexibility kicks in. Your home base needs to be within reasonable commuting distance of the Melbourne or Sydney office.

If you tick the essentials below, we'll help you excel — get your pitch ready and let's have a yarn.
