Are you passionate about AI and cutting-edge technologies?

Do you want to shape the architecture of complex systems while staying close to the code? If you enjoy combining strategic thinking with hands‑on development, this opportunity could be a perfect fit.

Our partner is a respected software house known for delivering end‑to‑end solutions for distributed software systems, with a strong focus on innovative, next‑generation technologies. In this role, you’ll join a skilled team of engineers working on AI‑driven projects, contributing from early‑stage evaluation through to proof‑of‑concept and implementation.

Your Responsibilities

• Serve as a senior developer and ICT architect on large‑scale, technically challenging projects
• Design well‑structured, scalable software architectures and communicate them clearly
• Translate complex technical and business requirements into practical solutions
• Drive innovation through AI‑based architectures (e.g. RAG models), from evaluation to deployment
• Remain hands‑on, actively contributing to development alongside the team

Your Skills

• 8+ years of professional experience in software development
• Strong architectural thinking beyond just coding
• Deep interest in AI technologies and complex system landscapes
• Dedicated to writing clean, maintainable, high‑quality software

Your Profile

• Solid full‑stack experience with .NET or Java, Spring (Boot), Angular or React
• Familiar with Kafka or similar messaging systems, as well as Docker and container‑based setups
• Experience building secure, cloud‑native applications (preferably in Azure or AWS)
• Knowledge of security topics such as IAM, PKI, encryption, authentication and authorization
• Experience with microservice architectures and modeling methods
• Exposure to AI applications, especially Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) models
• Comfortable working in agile environments (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe)
• Fluent in German (written and spoken), and English

Why Apply

On top of a competitive salary and an interesting benefit package, you will find room for both technical ownership and personal development in an environment that values and nurtures your technical expertise. The team culture is built on trust, recognition and long‑term stability, with real opportunities to actively shape your own career path.
