Jobbeschreibung

Software Architect – Modernisation, AI, Microservices, Cloud – €100,000

A long-established software company in Darmstadt is entering a new chapter - and they’re looking for a Software Architect to help shape it.

For more than 40 years, their platform has supported thousands of users in retail, wholesale, and distribution. But now, they’re setting their sights on the future: modernising their technology stack, rethinking their internal frameworks, and exploring the use of AI, microservices, and cloud-native architecture to power their next generation of products.

This is a rare opportunity to influence architectural direction and help define how new systems are designed, built, and deployed.

Your Role:

• Take part in high-level technical discussions on modernisation strategy
• Design and evolve the architecture for new internal tools and frameworks
• Evaluate and introduce new technologies (AI-assisted tooling, microservices, cloud, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Collaborate closely with experienced engineers and mentor junior colleagues

What’s in it for you:

This is not a maintenance job - it’s a chance to help define the next generation of a successful software platform, with the freedom to bring your ideas to the table. You’ll be working in a flat, pragmatic organisation where decisions are made quickly, and good ideas are implemented fast.

Requirements:

• Strong background in software development and architecture (Java preferred)
• Understanding of frameworks, modelling, and modern architectural design
• Interest in areas like AI-assisted development, microservices, or cloud systems

If you’re looking for a senior role where you can genuinely shape the technical direction of a product suite used by thousands, this is a unique opportunity to make your mark.
