Job description

What's the role?

Join Hilti at a pivotal moment in our digital transformation!
As a Technical Architect, you will take on a leadership role in designing and delivering the next-generation product data platform—a critical system that centralizes and manages product information for seamless integration across organizational channels, including e-commerce, ERP, and marketing systems. This role is part of a global IT team that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and delivering scalable, high-quality solutions.

What does the role involve?

As a Technical Architect, you will:

• Design and implement secure, scalable, and high-performing architectures for the product data platform.
• Lead the development and evolution of the platform to support various business channels and ensure data consistency across systems.
• Collaborate with product managers, business stakeholders, and development teams to understand requirements and translate them into robust technical solutions.
• Develop and maintain architectural standards, including best practices for data modeling, APIs, and system integration.
• Oversee the integration of the product data platform with other systems, leveraging tools like Stibo STEP, AWS, and modern development frameworks.
• Evaluate and recommend technologies, identifying the most suitable frameworks (e.g., Spring, Node.js, Python, or others) to balance performance, scalability, and business needs.
• Act as a technical expert in data engineering and data architecture, ensuring the platform meets business and performance requirements.
• Stay hands-on with the codebase when needed, providing guidance to development teams, managing technical debt, and ensuring high-quality standards.
• Drive compliance with IT security, risk assessments, and regulatory requirements for platform operations.

What you need is:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 7 years in system integration, data engineering, and software architecture.
• Technical Expertise:

1. Strong understanding of data platforms and information systems, with experience in tools like Stibo STEP (or similar).
2. Proficiency with cloud-based solutions, ideally using AWS services for hosting and scalability.
3. Expertise in architecting scalable systems using modern frameworks and tools—experience with platforms such as Spring, Node.js, or Python-based frameworks is a plus, but flexibility to evaluate and recommend the right technology is key.
4. Hands-on experience in API design and development, including API gateways, microservices, and data synchronization workflows.
5. Deep knowledge of data engineering principles, including ETL workflows and data modeling.

• Mindset: Agile, solution-oriented, with excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
