Together, you will work as a Solution Architect on impactful software projects for some of Europe’s biggest and cash-rich Fintech clients on topics like cloud, CI/CD, moving away from legacy systems, API gateways, and implementing streaming data technology around Kafka. With your teams, you vastly expand your circle of influence with clients, helping them from A to Better, while you help your teams continuously challenge and grow to do the same.
In the most challenging projects with many moving parts, you will be the first on-site to advise the client, propose a solution, and set up dev teams to take end responsibility for delivery, varying from 6 months to about 1 year.
