Description du poste

About us

We're an independent European digital product studio with a strong track record of delivering market-defining strategies and products for enterprises and governments. With about 200 talented people across three countries, premium AI capabilities and a diverse portfolio of international clients, we define, design and ship high-quality digital products, strategies and software. From global cloud-based platforms and large-scale apps to medical devices, banking software and augmented reality experiences. In a nutshell: if it lives and breathes digital, it’s what we do best.

Become a part of our team

At In The Pocket, you join a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, strategists and data specialists who care about the work as much as the people they work with. We work in small, autonomous teams that stay close to our clients and their users, and we give everyone the space to take ownership, speak up and grow. You’ll learn from colleagues across our studios, ship products that reach thousands or even millions of people and help shape what digital can do for leading organisations in Europe.

What you’ll do

As a Solution Architect, you grasp the complexity of modern platform solutions and break it down into understandable building blocks for engineers and business stakeholders. You facilitate architectural decision-making, clarify qualities and constraints, surface risks and trade-offs, and guide stakeholders to informed decisions.

• Ensure the architecture of the products you’re assigned to is sound, well understood, and evolves in a direction that best supports the business case.
• Facilitate architectural debates and decision-making: make trade-offs explicit, keep teams aligned, and communicate clearly to both internal teams and client stakeholders/suppliers.
• Partner with sales during pre-sales: capture prospect needs, craft the solution approach and offer, and help turn ambiguity into a realistic plan.

Who you are

• You have a background as a software engineer (5+ years) and prior experience in a similar role.
• You’re fluent in Domain Driven Design (DDD) and modern architecture patterns (e.g. microservices, event-driven, RAG, Agentic patterns, etc), and you know when not to use them.
• You have broad technical knowledge, collaborate effectively with subject-matter experts, and you’re not afraid to visit the "engine room" (POCs, hands-on validation, etc. using GenAI).
• You understand secure software delivery (OWASP, threat modelling, SAST/DAST, etc.) and can extend that thinking to AI-specific risks (e.g., data exposure, prompt injection, misuse).
