Senior AI-Native Software Architect / Engineer (m/w/d)

About Us

Bei codecentric sind wir keine reinen „Umsetzer“. Wir sind Vordenker, Sparringspartner für unsere Kunden und leidenschaftliche Techies. Wir suchen jemanden, der nicht nur weiß, wie man Systeme skaliert, sondern auch, wie man den gesamten Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) und die Software-Wertschöpfungskette durch den sinnvollen, wertzentrierten Einsatz von KI neu denkt und etablierte Vorgehensmodelle der Softwareentwicklung entsprechend transformiert.

Your Responsibilities

• Strategy & Consulting: You support our customers in making their software organization future-proof through the smart use of AI and modern architectural paradigms.
• Engineering & Implementation: You design and develop high-end software solutions and deeply embed AI into the development process. This ensures it functions as a true enabler in the SSDLC and delivers measurable business value – rather than just being "hype".
• Knowledge & Multiplication: You shape our internal competence cluster around AI-Augmented Engineering and develop best practices for codecentric.

Your Qualifications

T-Shaped Engineer

We are not looking for a specialist in a single niche, but a T-shaped professional who keeps the big picture in mind.

• AI Vision & Pioneering Spirit: For you, AI is not just point support, but an integral part of the entire software engineering process. You have a clear vision of how LLMs and Agentic AI will profoundly change the SSDLC, and you actively adapt classic process models to this AI-Augmented Reality. You advise clients on how to productively and securely embed holistic AI workflows into their processes.
• Seniority & Experience: You have many years of experience in professional software development and have successfully steered complex projects to completion.
• Architecture & Scaling: You design robust, scalable, and maintainable systems. Cloud-native architectures (AWS, Azure, or GCP) are a natural habitat for you.
• SSDLC & DevOps: You master the entire repertoire – from requirements analysis and design through CI/CD and testing to stable operation (DevOps) – and know how these phases seamlessly integrate within an AI-Augmented lifecycle.
• Consulting & Communication: You communicate at eye level with stakeholders, moderate workshops, and love to share your knowledge – for example, through blogs or at conferences.

What We Offer You

• Further Training / OffProject Time: Up to 20% of your working time is available for further training, community engagement, or internal initiatives – alongside exciting customer projects.
• Project Variety: You work self-organized and independently in cross-functional teams with the latest technologies. Your team is always there for you.
• Own Hardware & Devices: You choose your computer from a selection of Mac and Lenovo laptops. You also choose your company phone freely. You can use both devices privately.
• Flexible Working Conditions & Family Friendliness: Trust-based working hours, hybrid work model, 30 days of vacation, special leave, purchasable vacation days, and Christmas and New Year's Day off. Additionally, you can take a sabbatical or save for special life phases like retirement via a time-value account. You receive support with childcare through HeyCare.
• Open Company Culture: Trust instead of control, freedom to shape things, knowledge sharing, a say in decisions, and a lived error culture become reality with us.
• Team & Collaboration: You will meet motivated, intelligent colleagues who share their knowledge, tinker with solutions together, and support you in your work.
• Well-being & Health: We offer you an EAP system (Employee Assistance Program), health-promoting measures, and coaching services to support you both professionally and personally.
