Software Architect

So why should you read on?

Do you want to have a positive impact with your passion for digital? Then join our team and help us scale the impact with a larger client base for conscious digital products.

As a (Senior) Software Architect at DPM, you design resilient, future-proof architectures and implement software that solves real problems for real people.

Most of our current products are built on cloud infrastructure and make heavy use of TypeScript. However, we're happy to use any kind of technology if one project requires it.

As engineers and consultants, we love digital - we love to try new things and develop our skills constantly, either on customer projects or on our internal initiatives. We also constantly question our approaches and discuss how to improve our processes on a regular basis.

You're the one we are looking for, if

…you're a software architect by heart. Languages and frameworks are your tools, the basics of computer science your guide. You have experience architecturally leading small and medium digital products in B2B or B2C. You know how to distill complex systems into understandable concepts, successfully argue for them towards various stakeholders, and you know when to apply which design pattern, invest time in architectural planning, and when to just build it.

We build innovative, data- or AI-driven products using state of the art technologies, like TypeScript, React, Prisma, NestJS, Docker. Our projects vary from mobile apps to a multitude of different web platforms that help our customers stay competitive in rapidly evolving markets.

As a team, we collaborate with other disciplines within DieProduktMacher and work for a variety of different customers – from greenfield startups to established international players.

Your Role in Shaping the Future

As a (Senior) Software Architect at DPM, you take a pivotal role across the entire product lifecycle. You will:

• Develop products holistically: You will define the technical strategy and architecture, guide projects from the initial technical estimation through implementation right up to deploying and managing the cloud infrastructure.
• Define and champion quality: Beyond writing clean, maintainable code, you will ensure our high standards by establishing and pushing quality standards and actively sharing your deep architectural knowledge as a mentor and consultant within the team and towards our clients.
• Drive technology proactively: You will evaluate innovative technologies for their practical value, finding the right balance to integrate them effectively with our proven industry standards. In doing so, you act as a technical sparring partner for management and client leadership.
• Co-shape our engineering practice: You will actively contribute to the strategic development of the entire software engineering domain at DPM, not just work within a single project.
• Move from idea to impact: You advise clients on finding the best technical solution, validate solutions by building fast prototypes, evolving them into robust, scalable production code, and seeing them through to launch, where you'll use direct customer feedback for iteration.

Your Value-AddCore Experience & Mindset

• Professional Experience: You have 5+ years of professional experience in building and scaling digital products, including at least 2 years in a leading architectural role or as a technical consultant.
• Architectural Expertise First: You bring profound knowledge in software architecture, design patterns (e.g., DDD), and the design of robust, scalable systems. You maintain a robust quality-first mindset.
• Proactive & Collaborative: You combine a proactive, self-directed work ethic with a strong, collaborative team-player attitude. You love to learn, stay curious, and actively share your knowledge.
• Agile & Interdisciplinary: You thrive in agile, interdisciplinary teams and are passionate about delivering reliable, high-impact products.

Technical & Communication Skills

• Cloud & Infrastructure: You have proven experience in building and deploying modern cloud applications (e.g., AWS or GCloud) and understand the impact of architectural decisions on cloud costs and maintainability. You either have experience with Infrastructure-as-Code or a strong interest in learning it.
• Strong Communicator & Consultant: You are an excellent communicator who can clearly and convincingly convey technical concepts to engineering teams, as well as non-technical stakeholders and clients. You are comfortable engaging directly with clients to understand their needs and present technical solutions clearly.
• Language Proficiency: You are familiar with TypeScript, our primary language.
• Emerging Tech: You have a keen eye for emerging technologies and can assess their practical application areas.
