Only German (and English) fluent candidates will be considered.

IBM IX – Experience The Human Factor.

Use your architectural expertise to help our clients modernize platforms, scale content, and unlock the true potential of (Gen)AI.

As a visionary pioneer of digital excellence, you’ll drive innovative IT solutions in your role as a Solution Architect (f/m/x). In a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment, you will guide our clients through complex business challenges, accelerated transformation, and future‑proof technologies.

Sounds like you? Then we’re looking for you to join our team full‑time (40 hours per week) – across locations or fully remote from anywhere in Germany.

Your tasks

• You design and deliver scalable architectures that power efficient content supply chains and/or flexible commerce solutions.
• You guide clients from technical concept to implementation by mapping business needs onto composable, cloud‑native architectures.
• You utilize (Gen)AI pragmatically to enhance your own work and embed it as an enabler in content workflows and intelligent user experiences.
• You collaborate with cross‑functional teams (Strategy, UX, Engineering) and lead architecture workstreams in client projects.
• You contribute to pre‑sales efforts by shaping solution designs, facilitating workshops, and translating client needs into actionable architectures.
• You ensure technical quality, scalability, and reusability across all solution components to support long‑term client success.

Your skills

• You have several years of experience designing enterprise architectures in digital experience or commerce environments, ideally in a consulting context.
• You have a proven ability to lead architecture workstreams, take ownership of technical direction, and engage directly with senior client stakeholders.
• You bring a solid understanding of composable technologies (e.g., CMS, Commerce APIs), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), modern frontend frameworks (e.g., Next.js, Nuxt.js), and supporting platforms (e.g., Vercel, Netlify).
• You apply (Gen)AI tools and services (e.g., LLMs, AI agents) pragmatically to improve processes and enhance user experience.
• You stay up to date with the latest evolutions in GenAI, modern frameworks, composable architectures, and emerging tech trends.
• You have experience with content lifecycle optimisation, content supply chain orchestration, and DAM/CMS integration.
• You have experience modernising legacy commerce platforms and designing composable, API‑first architectures that enable flexible, future‑proof digital experiences.
• You thrive in agile, interdisciplinary environments and bring a consulting mindset and can‑do attitude to every challenge.
• You are open to working onsite with clients and willing to travel as needed (approx. max. 40% of your time).
• You have strong communication skills in German and English (C1+), with the ability to explain architecture clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
