Sr Platform Architect

As a Senior Platform Architect, you'll design and define the next generation of Vanderlande's global logistics systems-focusing on our world-leading warehousing solutions. You'll turn business goals into technical realities by translating ideas into system requirements and platform architectures.

Working with Product Managers and teams across Services and Operations, you'll shape robust, scalable solutions that support our "configure-to-order" approach. Within our Development Center Warehousing, you'll help deliver the technology foundation that powers future innovations worldwide.

Your Responsibilities

You'll own the platform architecture-ensuring new features and pilot deployments fit seamlessly into the overall system. You'll define architectural principles and guide development teams to apply them consistently.

You'll evaluate new features, decompose them into modules, and maintain a clear overview of the system's behavior. Acting as a technical leader, you'll translate business and technology roadmaps into practical evolution steps, identify and mitigate risks, and communicate architecture decisions across teams.

You bring structure to complex systems, lead teams with clarity, and communicate effectively. Experience in automated warehousing or parcel logistics is a plus. You enjoy working internationally and are open to limited travel (around 10%).
