The Department is seeking an experienced Application Architect / Technical Lead to play a pivotal role in the modernisation of the Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM) into a scalable, secure and maintainable Azure cloud-native platform.

n

Working within a structured architecture model:

n

n
- The Solution Architect defines high-level architecture and platform direction
n
- The Application Architect / Technical Lead ensures application‐level design and implementation alignment
n
- The Senior Data Engineer provides data platform leadership, translating architecture into implementable data designs, pipelines and governance controls
n

n

This role, working under the direction of the Solution Architect, is responsible for translating high-level solution architecture into detailed application design, while providing hands‐on technical leadership across FullCAM development and engineering staff.

n

Due to the breadth and complexity of concurrent modernization initiatives this role fills a critical gap between strategic architecture and delivery execution, ensuring that design intent is realised through robust, implementable and optimised solutions.

n

The role will operate across a heterogeneous environment, including:

n

n
- Legacy components (including C++ models and services)
n
- Contemporary cloud‐native application layers (Azure PaaS/SaaS)
n




- Data engineering and analytics platforms (Databricks)
n
- Full-stack web applications
n

n

This is a leadership role that combines architecture, design authority and active engineering contribution. It is ideally suited to a senior, hands‐on technical leader who can bridge architecture and engineering, ensuring that complex cloud-native designs are translated into real, production‐ready systems.

n

Key duties and responsibilities

n

n
- Validate and refine application and component‐level designs derived from Solution Architect direction, ensuring alignment with overall platform architecture.
n
- Translate high-level solution architecture into detailed, implementable application designs suited to Azure cloud‐native environments.
n
- Act as a hands‐on implementer of architectural patterns, ensuring design intent is consistently realised in delivery outcomes.
n
- Ensure architecture artefacts are practical, optimised and fit‐for‐purpose within the target cloud‐native platform.
n
- Provide informed technical input into design decisions, trade‐offs and feasibility, escalating issues where required.
n




- Collaborate closely with the Solution Architect to bridge gaps between conceptual design and detailed implementation.
n
- Ensure consistency and integration across application layers, services, interfaces and supporting data platforms.
n
- Identify, assess and address technical risks, constraints and optimisation opportunities throughout implementation.
n
- Actively contribute to development of core components, including C#/.NET services, APIs Python data workflows and front‐end elements (Angular) where required.
n
- Provide code‐level leadership through peer reviews, technical guidance and mentoring to development team members.
n
- Support integration and refactoring of legacy C++ model components into modern cloud‐native application architectures.
n
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, including performance bottlenecks and architectural trade‐offs.
n
- Collaborate with the Lead Data Engineer to support data pipelines, services and analytical workflows aligned with data architecture and warehousing principles.
n
- Ensure effective use of Azure Databricks, Data Lake and SQL platforms
n
- Promote and support DevOps practices, including CI/CD implementation, branching strategies and automated deployment pipelines.
n
- Ensure solutions meet quality, security and compliance requirements, including secure coding, identity integration, logging and comprehensive testing practices.
n
- Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary team, fostering collaboration, mentoring staff and uplifting overall team capability.
