Expression of Interest – Solution Architect

Security Clearance Required: Baseline or NV1

Company: Azooa Pty Ltd – 100% Australian Owned & Operated

We're Calling for Expressions of Interest

Azooa Pty Ltd is currently responding to a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to deliver a high-impact, AI-enabled developer solution using GitHub Copilot Enterprise.

We're looking for a Solution Architect to join our proposed delivery team and help shape this exciting program from inception to full-scale delivery. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a government-first initiative that combines AI, developer enablement, and secure cloud-native delivery at scale.

Please note: This is an Expression of Interest (EOI). The role is contingent on contract award. By submitting your interest, you're nominating to be considered as part of Azooa's official bid team.

About the Program

The ATO GitHub Copilot initiative will deliver a fully integrated AI coding solution across its developer teams, hosted in a secure Azure environment and aligned to government security standards such as ASD ISM and PSPF.

Spanning three years, this transformative project will include:

Technical and functional backlog creation

Secure configuration and platform hardening

Pilot deployment and iterative validation

Enterprise-scale rollout across teams

Continuous optimisation and improvement

Transition to Business As Usual (BAU)

This is one of the most forward-thinking AI-driven developer productivity initiatives in the Australian Government—and you can help make it happen.

As the Solution Architect, you will own the design and governance of the technical architecture underpinning the GitHub Copilot solution. You'll ensure the design is secure, scalable, supportable, and seamlessly fits within the ATO's existing enterprise architecture.

You'll work closely with stakeholders across delivery, security, and business functions to ensure a cohesive and compliant technical strategy that drives value from day one.

• Design high-level and low-level architectural artefacts (logical, physical, and integration diagrams)
• Define integration patterns with ATO cloud services, including Azure, Azure AD, and developer tooling (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise)
• Collaborate with the Security & Compliance Lead to embed security controls into all layers of the solution
• Lead technical validation and proof-of-concept activities to de-risk critical architecture decisions
• Provide ongoing architectural guidance to engineering, DevOps, and security teams during delivery
• Define and enforce non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, resilience, observability, disaster recovery)
• Establish architecture governance practices and contribute to steering/assurance forums
• Collaborate with business and product stakeholders to ensure alignment with organisational goals
• Support testing, go-live readiness, and seamless handover to BAU operations

Required Skills & Experience

To be successful in this role, you must have a proven track record of delivering secure, enterprise-grade cloud architectures—preferably in the federal space.

You must have:

• 7+ years of experience as a Solution Architect in complex ICT programs
• Demonstrated experience designing cloud-native solutions in Azure
• Deep expertise in GitHub Enterprise, CI/CD, and developer tooling
• Strong understanding of identity and access management (IAM), RBAC, and secure integration methods
• Ability to produce high-quality architecture documentation for technical and business audiences
• TOGAF or equivalent architecture certification (preferred)
• Experience designing or implementing AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot
• Familiarity with DevSecOps and secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) frameworks
• Experience in Agile, DevOps, and iterative delivery environments
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills—especially the ability to present complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Ability to lead architecture evolution across sprints and program phases
