Integration Domain Architect (EL 2 Equivalent) | Enterprise Integration Architecture & Strategic Technology Direction

• Location: ACT-Based (Hybrid)
• Security Clearance: NV1-Cleared (Mandatory)
• Contract Length: 12 Months + 12 Month Extension (Based on the sole discretion of Department)

About the Position:

This is a senior architecture role for someone who is comfortable setting direction, not just reviewing individual solutions.

The focus is on shaping the integration domain architecture, defining the target state, strategic roadmap, standards and guardrails that guide how systems, platforms and services work together across a complex enterprise environment.

You’ll work across programs, projects and multidisciplinary teams, helping resolve architectural issues that cut across systems and organisational boundaries. The role also carries real influence into investment and prioritisation decisions, particularly where integration, cloud, data, security and digital platforms intersect.

At this level, the expectation is clear: provide authoritative advice, manage trade-offs, and help senior stakeholders make better technology decisions with a longer-term view.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and maintain the integration domain architecture, target state, strategic roadmap, standards and reusable patterns.
• Provide authoritative architectural leadership across programs and initiatives, ensuring solution designs align with enterprise direction and security requirements.
• Lead analysis of complex architectural dependencies, risks and trade-offs, and provide clear recommendations to governance forums and senior stakeholders.
• Influence investment, sequencing and prioritisation decisions while mentoring architects and technical specialists across the domain.

What We Are Looking For:

• 8+ years’ experience designing and delivering complex enterprise integration solutions, including senior or principal architecture responsibility.
• Strong experience developing domain architecture, standards, patterns and governance across multiple systems, programs or delivery initiatives.
• Broad understanding of integration, cloud, data, security and digital platforms, and how those domains interact.
• Proven ability to influence executives, architects and delivery teams while resolving complex architectural issues and competing priorities.

Technology & Environment:

• Enterprise Integration Architecture
• Cloud, Data, Security & Digital Platforms
• Architecture Governance, Standards & Roadmaps
• TOGAF / Advanced Cloud Architecture Certifications (Desirable)

A Quick Note Before You Apply:

This role is unlikely to suit Solution Architects whose experience has been focused primarily on individual project or application designs without broader ownership of domain strategy, architecture governance and enterprise-wide integration direction.

The stronger fit is someone who can operate confidently at both strategic and delivery levels: setting the architecture direction, understanding cross-domain dependencies, influencing senior stakeholders and guiding teams toward consistent, interoperable outcomes.

Applicants must be Australian Citizens, hold a minimum NV1 Security Clearance.

This is an opportunity to influence the architecture behind digital experiences used by customers and internal teams. You’ll work across mobile and web applications, APIs, cloud services and enterprise integrations, helping connect the wider digital ecosystem.

This isn’t an architecture role where you’ll produce designs and step away. You’ll remain close to delivery, partnering with product managers, engineers, designers and business stakeholders to turn ideas and customer needs into secure, scalable and practical solutions.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take ownership of solution architecture across key digital platforms, supporting teams to make sound technology decisions from early discovery through to delivery.

Your work will include:

• Shaping the architecture of customer-facing mobile and web experiences

• Designing scalable APIs and integration patterns

• Connecting modern applications with complex core and legacy systems

• Translating customer and business needs into clear, practical solution designs

• Guiding engineering teams through technical decisions and delivery challenges

• Ensuring solutions are secure, resilient, accessible and built to perform

• Strengthening architecture standards, patterns and ways of working

• Balancing immediate delivery priorities with longer-term technology strategy

The technology environment

You’ll work across a modern and evolving digital landscape that includes:

• React Native mobile applications

• Angular web applications

• Microsoft Azure

• APIs and enterprise integrations

• Microservices and modern architecture patterns

• Agile product and engineering teams

What you’ll bring

You’ll ideally bring:

• Five or more years of experience in solution architecture or a comparable senior technical role

• Strong experience designing customer-facing digital platforms

• Proven capability across API design, management and integration

• Experience connecting digital applications with complex enterprise or legacy systems

• Practical knowledge of React Native and Angular environments

• Experience designing cloud-based solutions, ideally within Microsoft Azure

• A solid understanding of microservices and modern integration patterns

• Knowledge of security, privacy, accessibility, performance and resilience

• A strong understanding of software engineering and delivery practices

• Experience working alongside Agile product and engineering teams

You don’t need to have every answer on day one. What matters is your ability to navigate complexity, ask the right questions and bring people together around solutions that can genuinely be delivered.

About you

You’re pragmatic, curious and comfortable working beyond the diagrams.

You can move between strategic architecture conversations and detailed technical discussions without losing sight of the customer outcome. You enjoy collaborating with engineers and product teams, explain complex ideas clearly, and know when to challenge, influence or find a practical way forward.

Most importantly, you’ll be motivated by the opportunity to shape connected digital experiences within an environment where your decisions and contribution will be visible.

Relevant certifications may include:

• CISSP, CCSP, SABSA or equivalent security architecture experience

• AWS Advanced Networking – Specialty

• Microsoft Azure Network Engineer Associate

• Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer

• Check Point CCSE

• Cisco security or networking certifications
