You take lead architect responsibility on the largest and most complex programs in the region. You translate business ambition into an architecture that holds up under scrutiny: integration, security, performance, scalability, resilience, and long-term maintainability. You shape the target state, the transition path, and the trade-offs the customer needs to understand before they commit.

You work across the full deal and delivery cycle. In pre-sales you partner with Sales and Solutions Engineering to win strategic opportunities, owning the architecture story from discovery through contract. In delivery you stay engaged at the moments that matter: inception, major design decisions, and the hard problems that surface mid-program. You do not manage a team of architects, but you raise the bar for the ones around you through design reviews, reference architectures, and worked examples.

You also contribute to how Backbase sells and delivers at scale. That includes producing reference designs, patterns, and points of view that other architects reuse, feeding field learnings back to Product and Engineering, and representing Backbase architecture in senior customer forums, analyst briefings, and partner conversations. Travel is significant, especially during inception and at key program milestones.

• Spring, Maven, and a modern CI/CD toolchain are second nature to you;

• You have strong, experience-backed opinions on Service Oriented and Micro-Services Architectures and when each is the right call;
