Technology Architect

You will act as a senior technology architect supporting strategic architecture initiatives across cross-border digital services. The role focuses on designing and delivering a modern, composable platform and services ecosystem that is scalable, secure, and built for future growth.

You will own architecture direction for logistics, transport, and e-commerce use cases, translating business needs into technical solutions that can be delivered across teams. You will work closely with product owners, developers, business analysts, suppliers, and remote teams to keep designs aligned and execution on track.

The right person combines strong technical depth with a hands-on, collaborative mindset. You bring ownership, structure, and the confidence to guide teams, improve standards, and drive adoption through influence and clear architectural thinking.

• Create and review technical designs to ensure coherence, scalability, and resilience across domains.
• Guide the adoption of microservices and product-centric architecture models.
• Translate business requirements into technical architectures with product owners, developers, and business analysts.
