Who we are

We don't have the fame, but we've got the flame. We are a distributed group of specialists within NTT DATA Romania, who make the best out of JVM-based technologies, creativity and business solutions. Referred to as Java Competence Center, we co-create and co-accelerate with key players in any field. Without being limited to any business unit, we demonstrated our deep Java development expertise by delivering SaaS platforms in various domains: Web Applications in e-Commerce, Automotive, Telco, Insurance, Banking and Public sector, even Big Data and scientific applications.

We’re looking for a Java Software Architect to join a well-established player in the financial and accounting software space, operating under a model where profits are reinvested into technology, platform evolution, and long-term stability. In this role, you will: design and evolve scalable and resilient distributed systems; guide system integrations across complex environments and act as a bridge between business stakeholders and engineering teams, translating requirements into robust architectural solutions. You will operate at the intersection of technology, business, and regulation, shaping architectures that must be both flexible and audit-ready in a highly regulated environment. If you’re motivated by complex systems, real trade-offs, and high-impact decisions—we should talk.

What you’ll be doing

• Architecture Development: Define and evolve the target software and solution architecture, ensuring alignment with business goals and seamless integration with existing systems

• Cloud & IT Architecture: Design and guide cloud architecture and overall IT system architecture, ensuring scalability, security, and reliability

• Bridging Role (Brückenkopf): Act as a link between business stakeholders, Product Owners, and development teams to translate requirements into architectural solutions

• Microservices Architecture: Design and govern microservices architectures to improve scalability, flexibility, and maintainability

• Collaboration: Work closely with client architects and teams to align on architectural standards and decisions

• Documentation: Maintain clear architectural documentation, including design decisions and system landscapes

• Quality & Governance: Establish best practices for architecture, code quality, testing, and deployment across the lifecycle

What you’ll bring along

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience

• Around 10 years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on architecture and system design

• Proven expertise in software, cloud, IT system, microservices, and solution architecture

• Strong understanding of cloud-native and distributed systems design principles

• Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and modern deployment practices

• Knowledge of messaging technologies (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ)

• Experience with build and CI/CD tools (e.g., Maven, automation pipelines)

• Solid experience with databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL)

• Familiarity with testing strategies and automation

• Strong communication skills in English and German, with the ability to act as a bridge between teams

• Ability to work independently and manage complex architectural challenges efficiently
