Job description

We are looking for a passionate team player with proven experience in driving software and platform engineering efforts within fast-moving, entrepreneurial companies.

As a Senior Platform Architect you combine architectural thinking with hands-on full-stack engineering. You will join a vibrant company with an entrepreneurial team that works for global A-brands. Your focus lies on accelerating the transition towards a 3D CPQ-product proposition, shaping the technical direction of our platform, and contributing directly to the development of key components. You are not afraid to write code yourself.

You ensure TwikBot, our 3D configurator and CPQ platform, evolves with a clear architecture, predictable delivery, and high engineering standards.

You help define how TwikBot interacts with the customer’s digital ecosystem, aligning data flows, integration points, and system boundaries with e-commerce platforms, ERP/CRM systems, and manufacturing processes. You collaborate closely with engineering, product, and customer teams to translate customer and product requirements into clear technical specifications and roadmap items without acting as an additional layer between teams.

You also serve as a technical representative of Twikit toward the outside world when needed, providing clarity around architectural choices, platform capabilities, and long‑term technological direction.

You are energized by architecting and guiding impactful software solutions:

• You understand how to design and challenge scalable architectures and communication patterns.
• You can structure complex product themes into clear technical specifications and roadmap items.
• You enjoy defining data flows, API interactions, and system boundaries for complex integration and CPQ scenarios.
• You maintain architectural oversight and help the team make sound technical choices.
• You enjoy building reusable components and frameworks that accelerate development.
• You balance long‑term quality with pragmatic iteration and can explain your reasoning.
• You value documentation, clarity, and a solution‑first mindset.
• You stay hands‑on for a significant portion of your time, contributing directly to front‑end and back‑end development to stay close to the technology and the team.
• You proactively identify technical risks, dependencies, and opportunities early.
• You contribute to the evolution of our platform and our transition toward an expanded CPQ offering.
• You feel comfortable representing the technical vision and platform architecture toward external stakeholders when needed.
• You join select customer calls as a technical representative, helping shape solution direction and validate requirements.

• Confident in briefing developers, coordinating priorities, and guarding architectural consistency.
• Able to identify technical risks, integration complexities, and dependencies early.
• Strong communicator who can connect technical depth with business context.
