Job description

Location: Kraków (hybrid work - 2 days at the office)

As a Solution Architect, it’s your job to ascertain that envisaged solutions become reality. Taking this client‑facing role, you are equally comfortable in deep‑dive technical workshops and in board‑level sales presentations. Having earned your stripes in designing web‑based architectures, you have no problem finding the scope in large‑scale, complex projects. To customers and partners, you are the expert liaison with a keen feel for their needs. Talking highly specific technical details as well as discussing general business outcomes, you comfortably translate customer requirements into a distinguished design. You know our projects are to be delivered according to briefing, time and budget, but you also know our technicians need their space to build the solutions you’ve defined. Also part of the job is creating technical architecture documentation; working with the QA lead to define the test strategy; leading DevOps to define and implement CI/CD pipelines; ensuring that implementations meet non‑functional requirements, and you will be traveling a significant amount of the time, spending time on‑site during the inception phase and when providing training and workshops.

Qualifications

• You have professionally worked with Enterprise Integration Patterns and Frameworks
• You have experience with Spring, Maven and Jenkins
• You have a demonstrable understanding of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), as well as Micro‑Services Architecture
• You know JavaScript frameworks, MVC patterns and principles of REST APIs, ideally including RAML and/or OpenAPI, are second nature to you
• Your knowledge of the Java platform exceeds our expectations
• You have excellent communication and presentation skills in English
• You are self‑sufficient as a Solutions Architect and able to manage clients/stakeholders
• You have broad, operational knowledge of application servers, databases, load balancers and other infrastructure components required to deploy web applications in a highly available and scalable environment. You have created solutions for financial services (especially banking)
• You have experience with Portal/Web Content Management
• You have experience with server virtualization and containers technology such as Docker, VMWare, HyperV
• You have professionally used Integration Platforms, API Gateway, etc. Time for self‑development, training budget and a clear promotion path

Benefits
