About Cleverbase

Software Architect at Cleverbase

We see the role of Architecture as an enabling function so teams can act autonomously as much as possible. This means setting boundaries and providing clear direction when it comes to the overall structure of our systems, managing technology and techniques and way of working. The main goal is that you are actively involved with designing, building and delivering systems or products. This could even be building solutions directly related to architecture or the delivery pipeline.

As part of the Architecture team, you promote, expand and iterate on artifacts in the architecture framework. You help set up systems to manage architectural topics. By determining requirements and planning, and prioritizing the right things, you improve collaboration between and within teams and know how to standardize procedures. With your enabling mindset, you focus on helping our different stream-aligned teams and working together to reach the team’s goals. Secretly, you don’t want to be The Architect, you just want to build really cool products. You’re a good communicator and do not shy away from public speaking and good documentation. As a member of the Architecture team you work closely with its members or liaisons (Vice-Lead Engineering/Architect, Solution Architect, Tech Enablers).

 

Who are you?
  • You have worked as an architect, tech lead or senior member of your team. 
  • 10+ years of working experience as a Software Engineer, after having completed a Master’s or equivalent. 
  • Strong experience in at least two parts of our tech stack (high-level): (back end for) front end development (Javascript/Typescript), backend development (Scala, little Java), mobile development (iOS, Android) and AWS. From our own experience, having worked extensively in the backend is preferred.
  • Experience implementing architecture across teams to enable them to do their best work more often while keeping balance with long term considerations with respect to evolvability and maintenance.

A screening is part of the application procedure. Before you can start in your position, you need to apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG).

  • An environment in which you have the space to develop yourself
