We are currently looking for an Enterprise IT Architect to join the team in The Hague​.

Help shape the future of Defence IT.

Our partner is transforming its ways of working and operations — with information and new technologies at the heart of this change. This brings fascinating challenges: designing robust IT and data architectures that connect information flows seamlessly with mission-critical processes.

Imagine setting up secure data management for mixed classification levels, enabling reliable software updates for vehicles in the field, or designing smart data exchanges between platforms with limited connectivity.

Main responsibilities

As an Enterprise IT Architect, you’ll be a key link between business operations, military missions, and cutting-edge information technology. You’ll work on multiple projects at once, developing new concepts and architectures with your colleagues and clients. You’ll translate ideas and needs into practical, secure, and future-ready solutions for Defence.

Where you’ll work

  • You’ll be part of our Computing Engineering department — a diverse group of more than fifty applied researchers, system architects, and IT consultants. Together, we demonstrate how advanced IT applications can drive innovation for government and business.
  • Our teams tackle challenges like:
    • Automating how we collect, store, and analyze massive data streams
    • Using predictive analytics and large-scale simulations
    • Designing human-friendly ways to interact with complex data and systems
  • You’ll join a supportive, social team in The Hague — ready to share knowledge and just as eager to learn from you.

Requirements

  • You hold a Master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science, Technical Business Administration, Business IT or similar.
  • You have at least 3 years of work experience in enterprise architecture — translating business and information needs into solid system designs.
  • You’re curious and ambitious — ready to grow and develop your expertise further.
  • Ideally, you know the Defence domain and its ICT systems (C4I). If not, you’re motivated to dive in and learn.
  • You’re familiar with architecture frameworks like TOGAF or NAF, and know how to translate these into clear, practical solutions.
  • You communicate fluently in Dutch and English

What you bring

  • You love guiding clients and asking the right questions to get to the heart of a challenge.
  • You’re able to look at a problem from different angles and keep the big picture in mind.
  • You enjoy visiting clients on-site and building strong, trusted relationships.
  • You’re not afraid to challenge assumptions, point out inconsistencies, or play devil’s advocate — always constructively.
  • You thrive in a collaborative team and like to share ideas and learn from others.

Are you ready to help shape the information backbone of tomorrow’s Defence? Join us and make your mark.

Our story

At S[&T] we contribute to a safer life on earth by translating space data into valuable and actionable insights. We oversee data from instruments to application, and apply our expertise within our software frameworks, information products and consultancy.

Our society relies on space and scientific instruments for climate change monitoring, navigation, defence and national security, and other crucial services we all use in our daily lives. These instruments produce an enormous quantity of complex data, and our goal is to unlock its value.

We have more than 20 years of experience working on instrument calibration, the creation of data quality monitoring tools, the development of real-time data processing frameworks, and the development of application-specific algorithms. With this, we help organisations, governments and industries to strengthen their information position and thereby improve their decision making. We focus on the following domains: Space & Science, Defence & Security, Environment & Sustainability, and High-Tech Consulting.
