Description du poste

Solutions Architect - Full-time or Freelancer

Devleaps Hoofddorp, North Holland, Netherlands

Head of hiring @ Devleaps | Dataleaps :)

At Devleaps, we build platforms that make great engineering teams shine. We care about solving real problems, automating the repetitive so people can focus on creativity, and ensuring that our work has a lasting impact. As a Solution Architect here, you’ll help shape solutions that enable business agility, scalability, and clean, maintainable systems.

Who you are

• Think of systems, not just code — you see how things connect, where data flows, and how capabilities layer.
• Loves translating messy business problems into clean, well‑structured solutions.
• Is comfortable balancing trade‑offs: speed vs stability, innovation vs maintainability, cost vs capability.
• Collaborates well: you speak with (senior) business stakeholders, engineers, and product owners to bridge communication.
• Has 3+ years of experience designing and implementing large, cross‑functional systems across cloud, integration, APIs, microservices or similar architectural domains. (supporting transformation from legacy to modern architecture)

What are we looking for

• Deep experience in architecture: you’ve designed solution architectures end‑to‑end, including integration points, platform and technology selection(s) and data flows.
• Strong grasp of non‑functional requirements: scalability, performance, security, reliability, and maintainability.
• Solid familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern architectural patterns (microservices, APIs, event‑driven systems).
• Knowledge of enterprise integration patterns, data pipelines, and legacy system integration.
• Clear communicator — you can articulate and convey trade‑offs, decisions, and rationale in both tech and business terms.
• A trusted advisor — you collaborate with clients and teams and support making smart technology and vendor choices.

What will you do

• Define high‑level solution architectures for client projects and internal platforms — with a focus on modularity, scalability, and integration.
• Collaborate with business, product, and engineering stakeholders to gather and translate requirements.
• Translate those into architectural blueprints, data flows, and integration models.
• Proactively identify architectural risks, gaps, and dependencies — and design around them.
• Support vendor and technology evaluations; help shape software selection processes.
• Provide oversight during implementation to ensure alignment with the agreed architecture.
• Contribute to internal architectural standards, tooling, and best practices.
• Mentor technical stakeholders and engineers on design thinking, architecture patterns, and quality trade‑offs.

To excel in this role

• 3+ years in solution or enterprise architecture, or senior engineering roles with architecture/platform responsibilities.
• Hands‑on with cloud‑native technologies, APIs, and data flows.
• Excellent analytical and documentation skills — from diagrams to decision records.
• Agile mindset: you iterate, adapt, and evolve architecture alongside teams.
• Confident facilitator: you align stakeholders and keep discussions focused.
• Experience within domains like Finance, HR, Supply Chain, and Business domains is an added advantage

Why join Devleaps as a Solution Architect

• Solve meaningful problems — not just tech for tech’s sake.
• Work in a culture that values autonomy, learning, feedback, and craft.
• Contribute both to client success and to evolving our own internal platforms and standards.
