Application Architect

Project overview

You will work in collaboration with an information analyst, a business analyst, and potentially other additional ICT expertise.

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment contributes, among other things through subsidy schemes, to fair, healthy, and safe work in the Netherlands.

Within the IV department, the department unlocks these complex regulations in a growing information landscape. Venus is the subsidy platform of the DSU directorate. It consists of the customer portal, case management system, relationship management, and document management components (based on Blueriq, Odoo, Drupal, and Alfresco), including various integrations. Venus is developed for the execution of the Framework for the Execution of Subsidies (RUS 2020).

The Policy Execution department (UVB) of the DSU directorate is the intended executor of various new assignments and regulations that must be integrated into Venus, such as the Transparency of Remuneration Act, the European asbestos directive (asbestos removal permits), the unemployment benefit for citizens on the BES islands, and new subsidy schemes.

In addition, the old case management system Diane is being migrated to Venus. In 2026, the architectural analysis of the impact of these new assignments on Venus began. This analysis will be continued and expanded in the coming period to include assignments and regulations that have not yet been fully analyzed, and to the migration of Diane to Venus.

For each topic, the analysis will be translated into architectural advice, consisting of, among other things:

What will you achieve?

The work aligns with the analyses already performed and the ongoing business analysis for the Transparency of Remuneration Act. Duplication of work with these projects will be avoided by a clear delineation of tasks at the start of the assignment.
