Role overview

As we continue to grow and focus on developing a cutting-edge SaaS solution using AWS Serverless technologies, we seek to onboard an experienced and expert Solutions Architect to join our engineering and product team. In this role, you will be responsible for making the serverless architecture of our 3-year-old software solution evolve, ensuring that it meets performance, security, and reliability standards. A primary challenge for this position involves transforming our current all-in-one platform into a more flexible, modular system by designing and implementing services and Software Development Kits (SDKs) that enable and simplify the integration of our stand-alone software components into clients' existing processes and platforms.

As the Solutions Architect, you will work closely with the CTO, CPO as well as product management, data and engineering teams. You will be responsible to define system requirements, design and develop scalable and efficient solutions architecture as well as select the appropriate technologies, frameworks, and tools. As a leading role, you will provide guidance and support to the development team, helping them implement the architecture and resolve technical challenges.

This role requires strong technical expertise, excellent communication and collaboration skills, and a deep understanding of solutions architecture principles, design patterns and best practices. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in architecting and developing complex software systems, preferably in a SaaS startup/scaleup environment.

The Solutions Architect will report to the CTO and will be based at our headquarters in Luxembourg, Europe, with the possibility of a hybrid work location. To be successful in this role, you should have experience working in a high-performance, high-accountability environment and be comfortable collaborating with a diverse and geographically distributed team. We’re looking for someone to join us immediately.
