Software Architect

In breve

We are the leading European tech company, a 45‑year‑old pioneer in digital innovation that helps organisations of every size modernise everything from HR and customer relations to e‑invoicing and digital payments. Our Research and Development team drives the Group's forward‑looking projects, investing heavily in artificial intelligence to create new products and improve existing services. As a Software Architect you will join an agile, fast‑moving squad that tackles challenging, scalable software‑design and architecture work while shaping the technical direction of multi‑tenant SaaS cloud offerings. On a daily basis you will translate product and business strategy into sustainable architectural decisions. This includes defining platform‑wide architectural choices, guiding the design of domains, services, APIs and event‑driven interactions, and leading architecture reviews to surface risks and systemic impacts before they become constraints. You will work closely with Engineering Managers to ensure coherence across teams, drive the evolution toward modular, interoperable systems, and contribute to AI‑enabled products by integrating data, models and intelligent automation. The role also requires operating effectively alongside legacy systems and production constraints while keeping the long‑term vision aligned with current implementation. The position demands at least five years of professional experience in IT architecture and related technical domains. You must have a proven track record designing and evolving complex distributed systems in hyperscaler environments, making justified trade‑offs concerning legacy constraints, stability, scalability and cost. Experience with API‑ and event‑driven architectures, building modular and scalable solutions, and steering technical decisions in multidisciplinary settings is essential. You should also have hands‑on experience designing AI‑ and data‑driven services, assessing risks such as model degradation and explainability in production. Advanced English proficiency at C1 level is required. Familiarity with Domain‑Driven Design is considered a plus. Beyond the core responsibilities, the role offers a 4‑day work week, a total compensation package of €69,000, €86,000 plus performance‑linked variable pay, and a wellbeing digital wallet of €4,400 per year for personal expenses. The hybrid model gives you autonomy over office attendance, focusing on collaboration when it adds value. You will benefit from tailored learning paths, clear growth opportunities within an international group, and an inclusive culture that values trust, diversity and entrepreneurial spirit. What the role asks for: - Minimum 5 years experience in IT architecture - Proven design of complex distributed systems in hyperscaler environments - Experience with API‑driven architecture - Experience with event‑driven architecture - Ability to drive technical decisions across multidisciplinary teams - Experience designing AI‑enabled, data‑driven services - Advanced English proficiency (C1) - Knowledge of Domain‑Driven Design (nice‑to‑have)
