Posted 3 years ago

Hello, my name is Martin and I guide our IT teams towards self-organisation and efficiency. We´re looking for a hands-on Software Architect with DevOps experience to coach our Scrum teams to ensure the operability of our software already during the architecture phase. Moreover you will be part of a remote and global team that is already living tomorrow's working world today.

Sounds interesting for you? Great!

What you’ll do:

  • Together with your Scrum team, you create cloud native applications, based on decoupled business components with micro services and are responsible for the highly available and scalable operability of them.
  • You influence architecture and design discussions across teams while taking operational aspects from the outset into account.
  • You exchange ideas and concepts about cloud-based applications with other teams.
  • You should be also prepared to develop mostly in a Java environment, but also be ready to use new languages and systems.
  • Last but not least: You coach our software engineers through pair programming etc. and continuously develop an active learning culture.


What you’ll definitely need:

  • You have already written excellent software and understand your work from design to excellent code, which is permanently maintainable.
  • You have outstanding skills in domain modeling, API design and the use of adequate persistence mechanisms.
  • You are familiar with microservice architectures and can operate them scalably in the cloud.
  • You have practical experience with the development of distributed, highly scalable systems and the development of REST- APIs or event-based interfaces.
  • You understand complex technical contexts and can translate them into technically driven code.

What you can expect from us:

  • High degree of creative freedom in a committed, fast-paced technological environment.
  • Development of an exciting business model thanks to a modern technological landscape.
  • An agile software company with flat hierarchies and open communication.
  • A cool team where you can learn from each other and also contribute your own strengths.
  • We encourage you to dedicate 10% of your working time to your professional development.

This is us - Your colleagues:
