Job description

Do you have a passion for designing scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure that enables global business success? Does working in the head office of one of the most progressive Medical Device Manufacturers sound exciting? Applied Medical gives you the opportunity to contribute to our global mission of high standards of integrity and social responsibility.

As our Senior Infrastructure Architect, you will play a key role in shaping and governing Applied Medical's global infrastructure landscape. Rather than specializing within a single technology domain, you will provide cross-domain architectural leadership, helping ensure our infrastructure platforms evolve as an integrated, scalable, secure, resilient, and sustainable technology foundation.

Working collaboratively with infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, reliability, Information Security, application teams, service management, regional technology teams, and other technology partners, you will help facilitate infrastructure architecture governance, enable cross-functional architectural decision-making, and contribute to a cohesive infrastructure strategy that supports Applied Medical's global business objectives.

This is a senior individual contributor role without direct reports, offering significant influence across the organization and the opportunity to help shape the future direction of infrastructure architecture within Applied Technology Services.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish and lead infrastructure architecture review boards to drive alignment and governance across technology domains
• Develop and maintain a cohesive infrastructure architecture strategy — spanning cloud and on-premise — that aligns networking, database, security, identity, compute, and storage platforms with business objectives
• Partner with domain architects and technology leaders to design integrated, scalable, secure, and resilient IT landscapes
• Define architectural standards, principles, and reference designs that promote consistency, modernization, and operational excellence across the organization
• Provide strategic architectural guidance for major technology initiatives, investments, and infrastructure transformation programs
• Identify opportunities for standardization, simplification, and continuous improvement while influencing stakeholders and driving enterprise-wide adoption of architectural best practices

What you bring

• 10+ years of progressive experience within Information Technology, including experience in infrastructure architecture or technical leadership roles
• 5+ years of experience defining architecture strategies, technical standards, and cross-functional infrastructure roadmaps
• Strong expertise across on-premise and cloud platforms, data center infrastructure, networking, compute, virtualization, storage, backup, identity, security, automation, and observability
• Deep understanding of high availability, disaster recovery, business continuity, and infrastructure resilience principles
• Experience working in complex international environments and collaborating with global stakeholders
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts into business value
• A Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience

What we offer

• An international working environment, fueled by respect and a healthy work-life balance tailored to the business and team member’s needs
• 27 paid vacation days (based on fulltime contract) with option to purchase five additional days
• This is mainly an on-site role with hybrid options
• Commuting allowance of €0,25/km or full coverage of public transportation costs
• A wide variety of internal trainings and development possibilities and a tuition program for external trainings
• The opportunity to pro-actively work on your vitality and fitness
• State-of-the-art facilities, including green areas, in-house restaurant and gym
• Additional benefits, such as:
  • Attractive pension scheme (your contribution at 4%, ours at 12%)
  • €50 net monthly health insurance contribution
  • Two (paid) days per year dedicated to volunteering activities
  • Several fun company events and meaningful initiatives organized throughout the year
