Are you an experienced Domain Architect with a strong background in classified or Defence environments? This is an opportunity to play a critical role in securing and shaping a classified technology domain for a major national telco operating in Federal Government and Defence contexts.

About the Role

Joining a high-performing Architecture function within a classified environment, you’ll take ownership of domain-level architecture, working closely with Enterprise Architects, Security Architects and engineering teams to design, govern and lock down secure platforms and services.

• Partner with development and engineering teams to review designs and embed secure-by-design practices;

• Ensure platforms and services comply with DISP, ISM and Defence-grade security requirements;

• Support threat modelling, risk identification and remediation at a domain level;

• Contribute to uplift, rationalisation and modernisation of existing classified environments; and

• Act as a technical authority and point of escalation for domain architecture decisions.

About You

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience as a Domain or Senior Architect within classified or secure Defence environments;

• Strong understanding of DISP, ISM and operating within regulated, classified networks;

• Experience collaborating across enterprise architecture, security and delivery teams;

• Ability to translate high-level architectural and security requirements into practical domain solutions;

• Comfortable working in ambiguity with strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills; and

• NV1 clearance is mandator.
