Our large IT department delivers cutting-edge software solutions to support Vivacom’s business.\n\nWe are changing how we build software. Our teams own their systems end to end, and every team works with AI agents that help them design, code, test and operate. We are looking for a Technical Architect who will be hands-on with the engineering teams. The role makes AI-assisted development safe, fast and consistent across the department.\n\nThe benefits of being part of the team:\n\nCompensation package\n\nAttractive salary based on your performance\n\nMonthly food vouchers – €52\n\nDevice voucher – €312\n\nSIM card with an Unlimited plan\n\nNo cap on bonuses under the “Refer a Friend” program\n\nPreferential conditions for Vivacom services for you and your loved ones\n\nWork–Life Balance\n\n3 extra days if you use up your entire annual paid leave\n\n1 day off for your birthday\n\nFlexible working hours\n\nHybrid working model depending on the position\n\nAdditional health insurance for you and your family\n\nCo-financed sports card\n\nDiscounts at over 100 great places – shops, restaurants, hotels\n\nNot just a job. Growth.\n\nPersonal mentor and access to an interactive e-learning platform\n\nA real career development plan\n\nWhat you will do\n\nSet the technical standards for the department (languages, frameworks, APIs, security, observability) and turn them into templates, reference implementations and automated checks in CI.\n\nDesign the AI-assisted engineering setup: coding and review agents, approved skills, ai.md rules per repository, approved MCP integrations, and the guardrails that keep agents away from production data and changes.\n\nLead the code review community and own the review standards, so that AI-generated code is reviewed harder, not less.\n\nWork with Platform Engineering & SRE on the delivery pipeline: CI/CD, GitOps, Kubernetes, quality and security gates, and the metrics that show whether AI helps or hurts (review queue time, pipeline wait, defect escape).\n\nSupport the domain teams in solution design: API contracts (TM Forum Open APIs), integration and event patterns, data access and non-functional requirements.\n\nGuide the modernisation of legacy systems: use AI to understand and document old code, write characterisation tests, and replace legacy step by step behind clear interfaces.\n\nPrototype and evaluate new AI tools and approaches, and say clearly what works and what doesn’t.\n\nTake part in the Architecture Review Board for technical decisions and record deviations as ADRs\n\nWhat we are looking for?\n\n5+ years of hands-on software engineering, with at least 2 years in a technical lead or architect role.\n\nStrong coding skills in at least one of Java, .NET, TypeScript/Node.js or Python. You read and review code every week.\n\nPractical experience building software with AI: coding assistants and agents, LLM APIs, prompt and context design, RAG, evaluation of AI output, and an understanding of AI security risks (prompt injection, data leakage).\n\nExperience with containers and Kubernetes, CI/CD and GitOps.\n\nGood understanding of API-first and event-driven architecture, microservices and integration patterns.\n\nExperience with relational and NoSQL databases.\n\nA pragmatic mindset: you can tell an assertion from a demonstrated fact and explain trade-offs to engineers and managers.\n\nGood English and the ability to write clear technical standards and decisions.\n\nA university degree is welcome but not required. We value proven experience and what you have built.\n\nNice to have:\n\nExperience in telecoms or with BSS/OSS systems; TM Forum Open APIs or ODA.\n\nExperience with MCP servers, agent frameworks or building internal developer platforms.\n\nExperience modernising legacy code (C++, PL/SQL) with AI assistance.\n\nKubernetes or cloud certifications (CKA/CKAD, AWS/Azure/GCP), security certifications.\n\nOpen-source contributions or a portfolio you can show us.\n\nBecome part of our team!\n\nAPPLY NOW!
