Software Architect - Construction

Shape the technical direction of EG Ajour and use AI to reduce complexity, so our developers can build smarter and ship faster.

Ajour holds real data complexity, and AI is how we plan to tame it. Join us to define the AI strategy and coach the developers who build it.

As part of the department

As Software Architect at EG Construction, you will shape the technical direction of EG Ajour, including how we apply AI to reduce complexity and work smarter. You will design solutions that are not just elegant on a whiteboard, but scalable and realistic for our development team to build.

You will work most closely with the developers in the product team, our Product Owner and our Product Manager, partnering with them on everything from architectural decisions to sprint-level trade-offs. You will be the person who can explain a complex technical decision clearly, whether you are talking to a developer or a Product Manager.

Your role: Software Architect

• Design and own scalable, maintainable software architecture that the development team can realistically scope and deliver.

• Translate complex business and technical requirements into clear designs, and explain the reasoning and trade-offs to developers and non-technical stakeholders.

• Define and implement the AI strategy for Ajour, with the goal of having it in place within your first 6 month.

• Own the technical roadmap and measurably simplify Ajour's codebase and solution complexity using AI within your first year.

• Guide, coach and support developers from design through code review, and be a sparring partner to our Product Manager on feasibility, risk and scalability.

• Own the quality, security and performance of the architecture, and lead architectural reviews that keep decisions documented and accessible.

What you bring

We care more about what you can do than what your CV looks like. Here's what will set you up for success:

Must-have

• Strong understanding of, and genuine curiosity about, AI, with a track record of using it actively in your daily engineering work and applying it to real engineering problems.

• Solid experience in software design, development and architecture.

• Experience solving problems with significant data complexity.

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.

• Strong communication skills: you make complexity understandable for developers, product management and other stakeholders.

• Genuine interest in coaching and mentoring developers, and in building solutions together rather than over their heads.

• Commercial awareness: an instinct for how architectural choices affect customer value and time-to-value.

• Motivation to work in an international team.

• You can speak and write both Danish and English fluently.

Nice to have

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams

• Familiarity with modern DevOps, CI/CD and observability practices

What's in it for you?

• Real ownership - Own your work end-to-end, with the autonomy to make decisions that matter. You own the technical roadmap for Ajour and are trusted with real responsibility from day one.
• Meaningful impact - Your architecture decisions shape what our developers build and how customers benefit from EG Ajour.
• Growth mandate - Grow your skills in AI, from strategy to hands-on application, as EG continues to invest in this area.
• AI-enabled leadership - Use AI and emerging tools as a core part of how you work, not an afterthought. You will set the direction for how AI is used to build and ship software.
• Collaborative culture - Work in a global team shaped by Scandinavian values: trust, openness and no politics, with high standards and genuine care.
