Due to continued growth, they are looking for an IT Architect to join the Team

Your mission

You will join the architects' team - three people in total, integrating the architecture across different parts of the group. Together, you will plan and drive the interoperability and migration of systems and also shape the technical direction that the engineering teams build on.

Responsibilities

• Act as the bridge between product requirements and the technical capabilities of their systems - surfacing trade-offs, unblocking decisions, keeping product and engineering aligned.
• Facilitate the creation of technical concepts together with the engineering teams - and propose them ourselves when that is the fastest path forward, always open to feedback and discussion.
• Contribute to our technical strategy and architectural vision, making sure today's decisions do not paint us into a corner tomorrow.
• Stay hands-on when it matters - pairing with engineers on hard problems, prototyping, and reviewing critical designs.
• Partner with our dedicated AI, infrastructure and other capability teams as active stakeholders - shaping what they build and helping put it to use across the company, ourselves included.

• Relevant educational background (e.g. computer science, information systems, engineering) or equivalent experience.
• Several years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a track record of working across multiple teams and domains.
• Strong technical depth in distributed, event-driven systems on AWS - and a good sense of when to centralise and when to federate.
• Strong soft skills: persuasion, stakeholder management, and facilitation. You can hold the room without owning it, and you align people rather than dictate to them.
• Comfortable staying hands-on when needed - you can still write the code and read the diff.
• Fluent communication skills in both English and German (C1 or better).

• Modern hardware and the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies
• Besides our 100% remote work possibility, we offer an office in Hamburg (Hammerbrook) and Munich for a more personal collaboration
• Space and budget for personal growth
• Flexible working hours
• 30 days vacation
• Events for employees to celebrate our achieved goals and great team-spirit
• Community of Practice and Knowledge Nuggets for improving your skills
• Corporate Benefits and Mental Health Programme
• Subsidized Urban Sports Club membership
• Jobticket
• JobRad-Leasing
• Coffee, tea and water for free in our office
