READY FOR A NEW CHALLENGE?

Are you looking for work that makes a difference? Do you want to work with people who learn and grow together?
If so, Opencast could be the place for you. We’re a growing tech consultancy that creates user-centred solutions with purpose for our clients in government and business.

ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE

You don’t need to have had the job title Technical Architect before. But we’ll want you to show experience in designing and delivering technical solutions.

In your CV and interview, please show how you have:

• designed and delivered solutions based on business goals and technical needs
• used software architecture patterns and principles in your work
• explained your designs clearly using diagrams and models (e.g. uml or c4)
• worked with teams and stakeholders to agree design decisions
• identified risks or issues in technical designs – and taken action to resolve them
• worked within architecture governance or review processes.

As well as architecture experience, there are core skills you’ll need to be a great consultant.
In the interview, we’re keen to understand how you approach your work and collaborate with others. We’ll explore topics such as your approach to architecture, how you deliver business outcomes, and how you engage with stakeholders.

We’ll also be looking for examples that show how you:

• work effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues
• take a thoughtful and structured approach to solving problems
• listen, adapt, and contribute as part of a team
• are open to learning and developing your skills

DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE

Some experience is useful but not required:

• knowledge of architecture frameworks like TOGAF or Open Agile Architecture
• experience designing cloud-based systems (e.g. AWS, Azure)
• designing for security, accessibility or sustainability

If you have any of this experience, please include it on your CV — we can talk about it in the interview.
If you don’t, that’s OK. We can support you to build these skills if you join us.
