This is what your day will look like
- Lead and develop a small team of Senior Enterprise / Solution Architects (Lead Experts)
- Define the overall rules as Enterprise Architect, and design our real systems as Solution Architect – you can and want to do both
- Work hands‑on on complex, cross‑cutting architecture topics, such as APIs, integration patterns, and platform decisions
- Orchestrate and leverage the deep expertise within your architecture team, trusting and relying on strong individual ownership
- With your expert team, own and evolve the architecture of our application platform / framework / ecosystem for services and applications
- Define, refine, and actively live architectural principles, guardrails, and guidelines
- Act as architectural sparring partner for Power Systems Engineering and Software Development
- Work closely with Infrastructure and Platform teams on runtime environments, Kubernetes, CI/CD, DevOps, and cloud foundations
- Support Solution- and Software-Architects and agile development teams in designing robust, operable, and maintainable solutions
- Ensure applications and services follow cloud‑ready, API‑first, and service‑oriented / microservice‑focused principles where appropriate
- Balance strategic architectural direction with pragmatic, delivery‑focused decisions
- Help position the Architecture team as an enabler and trusted advisor across the entire organization
You come with
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science / Software Engineering
- Proven experience in Solution or Enterprise Architecture, ideally in complex and critical application environments
- Experience leading (as Line Manager) and coordinating (as Technical Lead) senior expert teams, valuing expertise, ownership, and peer‑level collaboration
- Strong architectural expertise in modern technology stacks, including:
- Cloud architectures and platforms
- Service‑oriented, API‑centric, and microservice approaches
- JavaEE ecosystems (Python and AI experience is a strong plus)
- Hands‑on experience or strong technical understanding of:
- Infrastructure and cloud fundamentals
- Container platforms (e.g. Kubernetes)
- CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and Infrastructure as Code
- Deep understanding of non‑functional requirements such as scalability, security, resilience, and operability
- A clear hands‑on mindset: you enjoy shaping architecture by doing, reviewing, and discussing, without micromanaging
- Experience establishing guardrails and shared principles that empower expert teams to move fast and responsibly
- Confidence communicating and discussing architectural decisions with developers, infrastructure experts, engineers, and leadership
- Power Engineering Know-How is a plus
Who you are & why this role matters to you
- You enjoy leading highly skilled experts, appreciating their know‑how and creating space for them to excel
- You naturally think in terms of orchestrating capabilities, not centralizing decisions
- You see architecture as a collaborative, enabling discipline across development, infrastructure, and operations
- You are comfortable switching between big‑picture strategy and deep technical discussion
- You enjoy shaping organizations early — setting direction before complexity explodes
- You like responsibility, influence, and open, honest technical debate
- Experience in Power Engineering or critical infrastructure domains is not mandatory, but a strong plus and something you’re curious about
Reporting directly to the Head of Technology, you will act as a trusted sparring partner for strategic technology and architecture decisions, helping to align expertise, platforms, and teams into a coherent and future‑proof technology ecosystem at TSCNET.
