We are strengthening our architecture capabilities and are looking for a System Architect for Core & Credits. In this role, you will help shape the technical direction of our credit solutions while working closely with Team Credit and fellow architects across the organization. You will combine hands-on development with architectural responsibility, contributing both to day-to-day delivery and to the long-term evolution of our products.

Personal Skills

We are looking for a proactive and self-driven person with strong analytical skills, integrity, and the ability to see the bigger picture. You communicate clearly, collaborate well with others, and combine a business-oriented mindset with solid technical understanding.

Main Responsibilities

As System Architect, you will take part in both hands-on development and architectural work. You will support the team by clarifying requirements, designing technical solutions, guiding implementation, and helping ensure that our systems remain secure, maintainable, scalable, and aligned with the product roadmap.

Define and Analyze System Requirements

– Define and analyze functional and non-functional system requirements in close collaboration with system users, product owners, and other stakeholders.

– Translate requirements into clear guidance for developers and application managers through models, prototypes, guidelines, and instructions.

Develop Technical Roadmap

– Support developers and application managers in resolving issues in a way that is consistent with the architectural direction.

– Make technical decisions within your area of responsibility, in alignment with the roadmap and relevant stakeholders.

Customer and Sales Engagement

Desired Education and Experience

– University-level education in software development, or equivalent practical experience.

– Extensive experience and strong expertise in software design and development.
