Description du poste

Stop designing architectures that get stuck in the slide-deck phase. Build intelligent, enterprise-grade systems that actually make an impact. At ML6, you will map out and design AI solutions that will actually see the daylight and be deployed in production by industry leaders like ASML, Bolt Energie, and Actief Interim.

What's In It For You

• Take up an Architecture Lead role on a per-project basis, navigating deep technical terrain and client expectations
• Work and advise on our largest projects by focusing on designing complex, custom AI solutions in production
• Bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI, robust software engineering, and strategic business impact
• High ownership and autonomy—no corporate, just pure technological excellence
• Collaborate with smart, driven engineers in a fast-paced environment

The Impact You Make

You are more than an architect. You are a strategic advisor and a designer in one.

• Architect software components, cloud infrastructures, and complex migrations (e.g., monolith to microservices, legacy to cloud, or integrating cutting‑edge GenAI/Agentic systems) with a focus on security, reliability, scalability, and testability.
• Take actively part in the discovery phase and roadmapping. Analyze functional and non‑functional requirements to plan, scope, and define projects so high‑quality solutions can be delivered.
• Explore and experiment with cutting‑edge tools and frameworks.
• Lead regular technical and C‑level discussions with customers. Translate complex business challenges into clear, high‑level technical visions and roadmaps.

Note that ML6 is not an outsourcing firm, our agents work on projects together with a team of colleagues where autonomy is highly valued.

What You Bring

• Extensive experience in the tech industry (typically 8–10 years), with at least 4–5 years actively designing, modeling, and making critical decisions regarding solution architecture and utilized infrastructure
• Deep hands‑on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• A rock‑solid understanding of modern architectural patterns (e.g., Microservices, Event-Driven Design, Serverless, Lambda/Kappa, and designing for failure)
• Demonstrable experience developing AI solutions - from traditional ML to agentic AI
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English (and local language proficiency depending on office location being Dutch and/or German)
• You can comfortably talk strategy with a CTO and drill down into tactical engineering solutions with the team
• You thrive in dynamic environments and can translate high‑level uncertainty into clear, pragmatic release strategies (whether staged, iterative, or phased modernizations).
