System Architect — Developer & Release Platform

A role with impact beyond technology

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of how hearing-aid software is built and released. We are bringing together several architect mandates into one strategic System Architect role with the opportunity to define the technical direction across our entire developer and release platform.

In this role, you will influence how 300–400 software engineers collaborate, build and deliver software every day. More than writing code yourself, you will create the direction, alignment and technical vision that enable teams to succeed together.

You will lead mostly through trust and good working relationships rather than formal authority.

You will have the backing of leadership and the mandate to connect people, platforms and processes across the organisation. Working through trust, collaboration and strong technical judgement, you will help create a platform that is always ready to deliver – and ultimately contribute to better hearing solutions for people around the world.

If you are driven by creating something bigger than the technology itself – and by seeing your work ultimately improve people's lives – you will find purpose in this role.

What this role covers

The full developer and release platform for our hearing-aid software in our Foundation Agile Release Train — the developer tools and everyday developer experience, the CI/CD pipeline (build, integration and test), and release management, plus the supporting internal tooling that links into it. The aim is to make all of this function as one smooth experience for the people using it, keep the platform healthy and ready to release at any time, and help the teams get more out of AI in how they build and release software.

What you will do

• Set the technical direction and keep it consistent across the whole platform, from development to release.
• Bring the pieces together, so our tools, pipeline and releases work as one experience rather than separate parts.
• Keep a clear, live picture of platform health and performance — including release readiness at all times — and use it to make releases quicker, more predictable and easier.
• Help the teams get good, practical use out of AI in their everyday work.
• Raise our engineering standards and clear the blockers and dependencies that slow people down.
• Work closely with the Product Owners so we are all pulling towards the same priorities.

Who you are

We are open to different backgrounds. You might come from firmware and embedded software, or from a broader DevOps, platform or CI/CD background — or a bit of both. What matters most is good technical judgement and being able to bring people along with you.

• A technical leader who sees the bigger picture and gets people working towards a shared goal.
• Practical experience in either embedded/firmware software or DevOps, platform engineering or CI/CD — both are equally welcome.
• You value developer experience and use clear indicators of health, performance, and release readiness to guide decisions.
• Comfortable working in SAFe across several teams (System Architect experience is a plus), and curious about how AI can help teams work better.
• You lead through trust, listen well, and bring people together without leaning on formal authority.

What we offer

At Demant, you will join a collaborative engineering culture where trust, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement are part of everyday work. We believe the best solutions are created when talented people are given the freedom to take ownership, challenge ideas and work together across disciplines.

You will step into a role with significant influence, where your ideas will help shape the future of our engineering organisation. At the same time, you will be supported by experienced colleagues, committed leadership and an environment that values personal growth.

Most importantly, you will be part of a company where technology has a clear purpose – helping people connect with the world through better hearing.

We look forward to hearing from you.
