About the job

Technical Architect

Engineering

Amsterdam

We’re looking for a Technical Architect based in our Amsterdam office who can take complex high-level designs and see them through build: designing the detail of our most complex server-side and cloud solutions, and getting hands-on through delivery to make sure what gets built achieves our clients’ product goals, from finance and retail to health and sport.

As a Technical Architect you’ll turn a solution’s shape into a detailed design a delivery team can build, own the cloud infrastructure decisions behind it, and take on the infrastructure problems the team can’t get past. On our larger engagements you’ll work alongside a Solution Architect, who sets the overall shape while you own the detail, the infrastructure and the path through delivery. On smaller ones there might not be a Solution Architect, and the design is yours from the first conversation.

You’ll work closely with the engineers who’ll build it (Lead Server Engineers, Technical Leads and their teams) so the design is understood, challenged and owned rather than handed down, and you’ll be the person clients bring their hardest technical questions to.

What you’ll be working on

You will provide the overarching technical steer for the overall architecture, making high-stakes decisions that ensure scalability and resilience. As a primary client-facing lead, you will bridge the gap between complex business requirements and elegant technical solutions, while fostering a high-performance culture through mentorship and the evolution of our agile engineering standards.
