Job description

Shape the future architecture landscape at SOS International

At SOS, we are transforming the way we build and manage technology. We are moving away from traditional product and application teams and establishing Domain Teams with end-to-end ownership across their entire domain landscape, including build, buy, SaaS, customized, and supplier-delivered solutions.

To support this transformation, we are looking for a Domain Architect who believes architecture belongs where decisions are made: close to delivery, business needs, and real-world implementation.

Your Role

As a Domain Architect, you will act as the Application Owner IT (AOI) for your assigned domain. You will be embedded within domain delivery teams, ensuring architecture is not a separate governance function but an integrated part of daily decision-making and solution delivery.

Working closely with business owners, development teams, and stakeholders, you will help shape solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise architecture principles.

This is a role for someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on technical involvement.

What You'll Do

• Act as AOI across your domain, covering the entire solution lifecycle
• Drive the micro-architecture within the domain and support technical direction
• Ensure alignment with SOS International’s macro architecture principles, standards, and governance
• Work closely with delivery teams on day-to-day design and implementation decisions
• Support multiple teams within a domain as part of a scalable operating model
• Contribute directly to development activities when relevant (approximately 20% of your time)
• Foster clear ownership and accountability across the entire domain landscape
• Promote domain-driven thinking and well-defined architectural boundaries

Our Domain-Driven Approach

At SOS International, we organize around domains rather than individual systems.

This Means

• Ownership spans the full domain scope, regardless of technology or sourcing model
• Domains define responsibilities, structures, and decision authority
• Architectural boundaries are explicit, measurable, and maintained over time
• Teams are empowered to make decisions locally while remaining aligned with enterprise objectives

Domains Collaborate Through

• Versioned APIs
• Domain events
• Loosely coupled integrations
• Independently evolving solutions

This approach enables agility, scalability, and long-term sustainability without creating unnecessary complexity or fragmentation.

What Success Looks Like - In this role, you will help ensure that:

• Ownership is clear across the entire domain scope
• Architectural decisions are made within empowered domain teams
• Architecture becomes a natural part of delivery rather than a review activity
• Solutions evolve consistently across systems, platforms, and vendors
• Teams can move fast while maintaining architectural integrity

Who You Are - We imagine that you:

• Have experience as a Solutions Architect, Domain Architect, or similar architectural role
• Bring a strong software engineering and hands-on development background
• Enjoy working closely with delivery teams and technical practitioners
• Can balance architecture, implementation, and business priorities
• Thrive in collaborative environments where influence is more important than hierarchy
• Have a passion for turning architectural principles into practical outcomes
• Understand how to create alignment without slowing innovation

Your Place in the Organization

As part of Group Architecture & Security, you will report directly to the Head of Architecture & Security, Nicolai Guido Klausen, and play a key role in driving architectural standards, best practices, and consistency across SOS International.

At the same time, your day-to-day work will be embedded within domain delivery teams, where you will actively participate in the decisions that shape our solutions and services.

What We Offer

• New, modern office facilities in Ørestad or Aarhus with excellent amenities and easy access to public transportation
• Flexible working conditions and attractive employment terms, as well as a canteen, social events, and other employee benefits
• An organization with high ambitions, short decision-making processes, and a strong focus on development
• A workplace within one of the Nordic region’s largest assistance organizations, with a strong position in areas such as roadside assistance and assistance services

Why Join SOS International?

At SOS International, technology plays a critical role in supporting people when they need assistance the most. As a Domain Architect, you will have the opportunity to influence the architecture of a growing international organization while working alongside skilled colleagues in a collaborative and forward-looking environment.

If you are passionate about architecture that creates real value, and you want to stay close to both people, technology, and implementation, we would love to hear from you.

Would you like to be a part of the Architecture team

We look forward to hearing from you!
