Software-Architekt (m/w/d)

Software Architect (M/F/D)

You want to not only document but actively shape and strategically drive architecture? In our program for the industrial customer business, you will take on a central, advisory role and ensure a consistent, future-proof system architecture. Our goal: a modern, scalable platform based on current Java and Spring Boot stacks that integrates seamlessly into our enterprise landscape. If you are looking for strategic impact and architectural responsibility – you are the right fit as a Software Architect (m/f/d) with us.

What you will do:

You will take on the architectural overall responsibility and ensure the coherence of all technical components in the industrial customer business. You will define architectural guidelines, design principles, and standards (Java/Spring Boot) and ensure their AXA-compliant implementation. You will advise development teams on microservices design, API strategies, data architecture, and system integration – including documentation and decision templates. You will coordinate closely with specialist and enterprise architecture, evaluate cloud services and AI integration, and drive relevant innovations forward. You will work cloud-native (AWS) and support the optimal use of Kubernetes, Postgres, and Kafka; you will establish cross-program best practices.

What you bring with you:

You have a degree/equivalent qualification and 6+ years of experience in software development, including 3+ years in architecture roles. You are proficient in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, API design, and event-driven architecture. You have practical experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, OpenShift, CI/CD, Git/GitLab, Jenkins, Atlassian (Jira, Confluence), Camunda (BPM), and databases (SQL & NoSQL). You work independently, strategically, and pragmatically, have agile experience, and moderate architectural decisions confidently with specialist and enterprise architecture. You communicate clearly and target-appropriately; you speak German (C1) and English (good).

What we offer you:

Flexibility: up to 60% home office, flexible working hours from 6-21 including flexible time account and working abroad. Leisure: 30 days of vacation, extra days off on New Year's Eve and Christmas Day, and special leave for special occasions.
