As part of our architecture team — three people in total — you will integrate architecture across various parts of the group.
Together we plan and drive interoperability and migration of systems toward beyonnex, and we shape the technical direction on which engineering teams build.
We act as a bridge between product requirements and the technical capabilities of our systems — we highlight trade-offs, remove blockers, and keep product and engineering aligned.
Enable the creation of technical concepts together with engineering teams and propose them yourself when that is the fastest way forward, always open to feedback and discussion.
Contribute to our technical strategy and architectural vision to ensure today's decisions don't box us in tomorrow.
Stay hands-on when it matters — pair with engineers on difficult problems, prototype, and review critical designs.
Collaborate with our dedicated AI, infrastructure, and other capability teams as active stakeholders — shape what they build and help enable its use across the organization, including ourselves.

Relevant educational background (e.g., Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering) or equivalent experience.
Several years of practical software development experience, with a proven track record of working across multiple teams and domains.
Strong technical depth in distributed, event-driven systems on AWS — and a good sense of when to centralize and when to federate.
Strong soft skills: persuasion, stakeholder management, and facilitation. You can hold the room without owning it, and you align people rather than dictate to them.
Comfortable handling the hands-on practice when needed — you can still write code and read a diff.
Fluent communication skills in English and German (C1 or better).

Architectural work that truly spans the company — you shape integration and migration of systems across the group, not just the backlog of a single team.
A small, experienced architecture team.
Real influence on technical direction, without approval from committee to committee.
Dedicated collaborators to work with: an AI team, an infrastructure team, and capability teams across the group — so you can build on what's already there rather than starting from scratch.
Modern hardware and the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies.
In addition to our 100% remote work option, we offer offices in Hamburg (Hammerbrook) and Munich for more in-person collaboration.
Space and budget for personal growth.
Flexible working hours.
30 days of vacation.
Employee events to celebrate our achievements and great team spirit.
Community of Practice and Knowledge Nuggets to improve your skills.
Company benefits and mental health programs.
Subsidized membership in Urban Sports Club.
Job ticket.
JobRad leasing.
Free coffee, tea, and water in our office.
