Position Overview

We are seeking an accomplished Software Architect to lead the design, implementation, and governance of enterprise‑grade, cloud‑native Java applications. In this pivotal role, you will define architectural standards, mentor engineering teams, drive adoption of modern development practices — including AI‑augmented workflows — and ensure our systems are built for resilience, scalability, and long‑term maintainability.

You will serve as the technical authority across multiple product domains, collaborating closely with product management, DevOps, and senior leadership to align technology decisions with strategic business objectives.

  • Develop internal AI‑powered productivity tooling (code reviewers, test generators, documentation assistants) using Spring AI or LangChain4j
  • Ensure AI‑generated outputs comply with security, licensing, and intellectual property policies

Cloud‑Native & Infrastructure

  • Architect cloud‑native solutions on GCP leveraging Kubernetes, service meshes, and managed data services
  • Define containerization, configuration management, and secret management standards
  • Lead distributed transaction strategy using Saga patterns, idempotent consumers, and outbox patterns
  • Oversee CI/CD pipeline architecture and promote GitOps workflows

Leadership & Mentorship

  • Mentor senior and mid‑level engineers in architectural thinking, design patterns, and production‑readiness criteria
  • Conduct architecture reviews, technical due diligence, and proof‑of‑concept evaluations

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
