About the Company
Our client is a leading European provider of integrated communication and technology solutions. The company drives digital innovation in the areas of connectivity, security, and cloud, and supports customers worldwide in their digital transformation.

The Role & Your Impact

As a Cloud Backend Architect, you will sit at the crossroads of high-level systems design and hands-on technical execution. You will understand the latest developments in cloud-native and container technology, shaping the platform’s future state while ensuring that theoretical designs translate perfectly to robust, secure, and highly automated cloud infrastructure.

  • Architectural Evolution: Improve the platform’s overall architecture with a uncompromising focus on data security, high availability, and performance.

  • Feature Innovation: Design and develop innovative platform services and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) features.

  • Trusted Advisory: Act as a key technical authority on open-source-based public cloud architectures, guiding internal teams and strategic stakeholders.

  • Hands-on Validation: Maintain a strong connection to the engineering plane—working directly at the console to back your architectural designs with working code and proof-of-concepts.

  • End-to-End Automation: Consistently automate provisioning, integration, and platform scaling using standard infrastructure-as-code and automation frameworks.

  • Collaborative Engineering: Thrive within an open, trusting, and highly collaborative team of engineering specialists who actively support and elevate one another.

Your Profile

  • Education: Completed university studies in Computer Science, Engineering, a related scientific field, or equivalent practical and professional training.

  • Experience: 5–7 years of professional IT experience, with a sharp focus on modern public cloud-native systems.

  • Architectural Depth: Deep knowledge of software-defined architectures, modern cloud topologies, and container ecosystem designs.

  • Systems & Networking: In-depth knowledge of Linux environments, core system utilities, and network-related services.

  • Automation Focus: Proven experience with infrastructure automation, configuration management, and deployment pipelines.

  • Mentorship & Communication: Strong presentation and technical mentoring skills, with the ability to explain complex architectural concepts to various technical and business audiences.

  • Agile Mindset: Comfortable navigating agile development and operational environments with a strong customer-first perspective.

  • Analytical & Creative Mind: The capability to critically evaluate complex technical challenges and design innovative, elegant solutions.

  • Location & Compliance: You must live and work within the European Union to fulfill our customers’ strict data privacy, security, and compliance requirements.

  • Language: Fluency in written and spoken English. Fluency in the language of the country of residence would be considered as an advantage.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves)

  • Hands-on design and engineering experience within the OpenStack ecosystem.

  • An active track record of programming or contributing to open-source software projects.
