• Working closely with product management, internal stakeholders, and external partners, you translate business needs into sustainable and well-designed technical solutions
• You design and continuously evolve the architecture of your team’s services, balancing scalability, maintainability, security, and compliance with pragmatic delivery

• You guide your team in applying Domain-Driven Design, Clean Architecture, and strong engineering practices
• Clear and pragmatic documentation of architecture decisions, system landscapes, and solution designs is created by you so others can understand, review, and build upon existing solutions
• Across the full software lifecycle - from refinement to release - you contribute with a strong focus on quality, testability, and production stability
• Cloud-native development on Azure is actively shaped by you, including Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD pipelines, and operational excellence

Your profile

• You hold a degree in computer science or a comparable qualification and bring strong experience in software architecture as well as enterprise development with Java and Spring Boot
• Architectural thinking comes naturally to you, combined with a hands-on mindset that allows you to stay close to the code whenever required
• Experience with Domain-Driven Design, Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and pragmatic software design enables you to build scalable and maintainable systems
• Your background includes architecture documentation, system modelling, and the use of communication formats such as arc42, C4, or similar approaches
• Designing distributed systems, REST APIs, event-driven architectures, and common integration patterns is part of your professional routine
• Hands-on experience with Azure and cloud-native systems allows you to design, deploy, and operate solutions using Infrastructure-as-Code; experience with AWS or GCP is welcome but not required
• A strong understanding of Clean Code, Test-Driven Development, and modern development tooling shapes your daily work, including the Spring ecosystem, NoSQL databases, Maven, Gradle, Git, and GitHub Copilot
• Practical experience with AI tools in software engineering supports you in coding, documentation, testing, and developer workflows, while keeping quality, security, and compliance in mind
