Our client is a leading European software company in the healthcare sector, operating internationally and employing several thousand people. The company develops mission-critical software solutions that support healthcare professionals in their daily work and contribute to a smarter, more connected, and more efficient healthcare system.
As part of a major technology transformation, the organization is investing heavily in cloud architectures, AI-native software development, security-by-design, and the modernization of complex legacy systems.
To strengthen the architecture function, we are looking for an experienced Team Lead Architecture (f/m/d) who combines strong technical credibility with leadership skills, strategic thinking, and hands-on transformation experience.
Your Impact:
You lead an architecture team of around 10 software and security architects, including senior experts in databases, performance, security, cloud, and integration.
You further develop the team, align architectural priorities across multiple product lines, and ensure that the right expertise is deployed where it creates the highest impact.
You harmonize and standardize architecture principles, processes, and decision-making across a complex product landscape.
You work closely with engineering, product management, security, and senior leadership to ensure consistent architectural standards and pragmatic implementation.
You own and drive the architecture roadmap for cloud, security, AI-native architectures, and modern software patterns.
You guide the modernization of a historically grown system landscape and help transform legacy architectures into scalable, secure, and future-ready platforms.
You lead large-scale refactoring and modernization initiatives using AI-based tools, agents, workflows, pipelines, harnesses, and code-analysis approaches.
You make modernization across C++ desktop, Delphi, Uniface, legacy .NET, and other established technologies more repeatable, measurable, and efficient.
You establish AI tooling as a first-class element within the architecture practice.
You coach architects and senior experts, define best practices and reference implementations, and build a strong architecture community based on technical excellence, ownership, and pragmatic execution.
Your Profile:
You bring several years of experience as a software architect, solution architect, or enterprise architect in complex software environments.
You have proven leadership experience with architecture teams, senior architects, or highly specialized technical experts.
You have a strong background in modern software architecture, including microservices, cloud-native systems, distributed architectures, security-by-design, API-driven integration, and scalable SaaS platforms.
You are experienced in modernizing complex legacy software landscapes and understand the challenges of refactoring, migration, technical debt reduction, dependency management, and architectural transformation.
You have worked in business-critical product environments and know how to balance long-term architecture vision with pragmatic delivery.
You have a strong interest in AI-driven software engineering and ideally hands-on experience using AI-based tools for architecture, code analysis, refactoring, modernization, or developer productivity.
Experience with Claude Code or comparable agentic tools, including agents, workflows, skills, pipelines, harnesses, or context engineering, would be a strong advantage.
You hold a degree in computer science, software engineering, or a comparable technical field.
You communicate confidently in English and German and are able to engage with both senior technical experts and business stakeholders.
You bring a clear, decisive communication style, strong technical credibility, a hands-on mindset, and a proactive, solution-oriented way of working.
You are motivated by the opportunity to shape technology that has a real impact in healthcare.
What Makes This Role Attractive:
This is a key leadership role at the intersection of architecture, AI, cloud transformation, security, and large-scale software modernization.
You will have the opportunity to shape the future architecture of mission-critical healthcare software products, lead a highly experienced expert team, and drive real transformation in a complex and meaningful environment.
If you are excited by the idea of combining architectural leadership, AI-enabled modernization, and purpose-driven software development in healthcare, we would be happy to speak with you.
