• Integrate security-by-design and privacy-by-design principles into architectural solutions, incorporating risk management and compliance requirements.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across multiple teams and contribute to project management activities such as planning, estimation, coordination, cost management, and delivery oversight.
• Ensure that architectural decisions support both current business needs and long-term strategic goals.

• Strong knowledge of enterprise architecture methodologies and modelling techniques, including ArchiMate, TOGAF, UML, and Sparx Enterprise Architect.
• Hands-on experience designing cloud platforms, APIs, and modern distributed architectures.
• Extensive experience with data architecture, data modelling, data governance, and master data management in large organizations.
• Familiarity with emerging technologies, including Generative AI, large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI platforms.
• Additional expertise in geospatial technologies, GIS integrations, monitoring and early-warning systems, IoT, edge computing, or machine learning platforms is considered an advantage.
• Development experience with technologies such as .NET/C#, Python, REST APIs, and cloud-native web architectures is a plus.
• Previous experience in public-sector, government, or highly regulated environments is highly valued.
