Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Software Architect - **Company:** Roche - **Location:** Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain - **Salary:** €46,116.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Java (Programming Language), Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Cloud Engineering, Continuous Integration, DevOps, Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, Claude Code, Backend, Agentic-AI, Health Level Seven International, Claude, Cloud Integration, Domain Driven Design, GPT - **Published:** October 1, 2026 - **Apply:** https://dejobs.org/x/x/9598E4D7D02A4E0D94A518371613E218/job/ ## About the Role * A strong track record as a Software Architect designing systems across mobile, backend and cloud rather than a single layer, with enough native mobile knowledge to partner well with specialists without being one yourself * Depth in cloud and backend architecture: Java and Spring, modular and domain-driven design, APIs and integration, cloud-native patterns and DevOps, including CI/CD (experience of a major cloud provider a plus) * You already build with agentic AI tools like Claude Code, get real leverage from them, know where they break down, and want to push our aSDLC work forward * The ability to turn architecture into things a team can act on (technical designs, decision records, C4 models) and to help a team reach a decision * Experience in regulated or safety-critical environments; SaMD or other medical device software is a strong plus * Strong communication and the ability to bring people with you, since you lead through expertise rather than authority * Comfortable making trade-offs and being challenged on them, and happy to get hands-on with prototypes when it takes the risk out of a design Bonus skills: * FHIR and healthcare data standards, identity and consent platforms, reference architecture or platform teams, deeper SaMD experience. ## Description * Own architecture designs across native mobile, backend and the navify cloud, treating the app-to-cloud integration as a first-class part of the design * Write technical designs, architecture decision records and C4 models that a team can build from * Make trade-offs explicit (cost, risk, time to value, reuse), and keep regulated and non-regulated parts of a product cleanly separated so it can cross into medical device territory AI-augmented engineering (aSDLC) * Help shape our aSDLC: bring agentic tools (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT) into how we design, prototype, document and review, and show the team what good use looks like * Set the standards and guardrails that keep AI-assisted work reliable and accountable in a regulated setting, with a human owning the result Cloud, backend and platform * Design backend services on our Java and Spring foundation, modular and well bounded * Design data and integration flows across the navify Platform (identity, consent, notifications, AI, FHIR) and the cloud beneath it * Reuse first: contribute to the reusable blueprint every new product starts from, extend our shared mobile foundation and navify rather than rebuild, and promote proven pieces back Technical leadership and direction * Guide squads towards a clear technical direction, and help them decide when they are stuck between options * Partner with our mobile experts and the Cloud and DevOps sub-chapter, adding cross-domain breadth rather than competing with their depth * Raise the bar through design reviews, pairing and mentoring, and produce documentation that keeps products audit-ready * Help shape the team's technical direction as one voice in a shared architecture capability ## Related Videos - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) - [Livecoding with AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1201-livecoding-with-ai) - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [Claude, MCP and n8n, or: How to Automate Your Day with AI-powered Workflows](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2043-claude-mcp-and-n8n-or-how-to-automate-your-day-with-ai-powered-workflows) - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [9 Claude Code Skills to Speed Up Your Workflow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/740-9-claude-code-skills-to-speed-up-your-workflow) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers)
