We are looking for a Justice and Security Domain Architect responsible for ensuring architectural governance, evolution, coherence and performance of the Justice and Security domain information system.

Unlike a solution architect, whose role is to design the architecture of a particular solution or project, the domain architect acts as the representative of enterprise architecture within their domain. They define the evolution path of the information system, ensure its alignment with the State’s digital strategy, manage its urbanisation and ensure the application of architectural, technological and methodological standards of the organisation.

In this context, they serve as the local relay of enterprise architecture and represent the architectural authority of the Justice and Security domain to business beneficiaries, projects and technical teams.
