  • Analysis and structuring of requirements together with stakeholders
  • Architecture design for scalable, maintainable systems (Cloud, On-Premise, Hybrid)
  • Technical conception and selection of suitable technologies

  • Development of operational and deployment concepts (Cloud Native, Serverless, etc.)
  • Definition of test strategies and ensuring software quality
  • Identification and elimination of technical and organizational obstacles within the team
  • Technical leadership within projects (Lead Engineer role)
  • Project management and control of complex initiatives
  • Support in pre-sales:

    • Contribution to tenders and proposal documents
    • Technical consulting for potential clients
  • Communication with clients and stakeholders in German and English

Your Areas of Responsibility

  • Active shaping and further development of architecture standards within the company
  • Building and maintaining partner networks
  • Promoting knowledge transfer and best practices (e.g., in the area of Enterprise Architecture)

Your Profile

  • Several years of experience in software development and technical consulting
  • In-depth knowledge of modern software architectures (Cloud, Microservices, Serverless)
  • Very good programming skills (e.g., TypeScript, Java, C#)
  • Experience in the technical leadership of projects
  • Understanding of business contexts and customer requirements
  • Experience in pre-sales or proposal preparation is an advantage
  • Very good communication skills in German and English

Education & Qualification

  • Master's degree in (Business) Informatics or equivalent
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., AWS) are an advantage

What Sets You Apart

  • Pragmatism: You find solutions instead of managing problems
  • Hands-on mentality: You implement, not just conceptualize
  • Ownership: You take responsibility and see things through to the end
  • Entrepreneurial thinking: You understand the impact of your decisions
  • "Get things done" mentality: You bring things to completion

What We Offer

  • Projects with real scope for design and responsibility
  • Combination of consulting, architecture, and development
  • Direct influence on client projects and internal matters
  • Opportunity to actively contribute to enterprise architecture topics
  • Exchange with partners and expert networks
  • Flexible working environment with a focus on results rather than formalities

In short:

You are not just a developer or consultant – you are a problem solver, architect, implementer, and driver in one person.

If you are looking for responsibility and want to lead projects to success, you are in the right place.
