Job Summary
In this role, you analyze the existing software architecture and develop the target architecture for a modular control system, including AI integration and the implementation of agile development practices.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Analysis of the existing software architecture (C++/C#) and continuous development of the target architecture for a modular, service-/component-oriented control system.
- Conceptualization and step-by-step implementation of the transformation from a monolith to a decoupled, modularly extendable system architecture.
- Definition of clear interfaces, module boundaries, and communication patterns between the new components.
- Ensuring maintainability, testability, and extensibility during ongoing development.
- Integration of AI tooling into an established system.
- Technical responsibility for scalability, performance, and quality of the new architecture.
- Assessment of migration strategies (e.g., Strangler Fig pattern, incremental module extraction) considering risk and ongoing operations.
- Shaping agile development practices and processes within the development team.
- Close collaboration with development and product management.
- Creation of architecture documentation, technical concepts, and decision templates for management and the team.
- Mentoring developers in refactoring, clean code, and modern architectural principles.
- Implementation of smaller development tasks.

Our expectations of you
Education
- Completed degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable qualification.
Qualifications
- Very good knowledge of object-oriented programming, preferably in C++ and C#.
- Good German and good English skills.
- An open, team-oriented personality who seeks professional exchange and takes different perspectives seriously.
- At the same time, maintain a confident and clear demeanor in technological implementation – you stand by your architectural decisions even if they initially face resistance within the team.
- Enjoyment of professional leadership through conviction and competence rather than formal authority - the role is intentionally designed without disciplinary personnel responsibility and reports to the Head of Software Development.
- You see yourself as a technical catalyst within the team and enjoy motivating others through expertise rather than hierarchy.
- Pragmatic, solution-oriented working style with a good sense for balancing technical excellence and economic feasibility.
Experience
- Several years of professional experience as a Software Architect, ideally in the field of control systems, automation technology, or industrial control software.
- Proven experience with modularization/refactoring of legacy monolithic systems into modern, maintainable architectures.
- Experience with architecture patterns for modular/distributed systems (e.g., microservices, plugin architectures, domain-driven design, strangler fig pattern).
- Practical experience with agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban).
- Understanding of requirements in mechanical and plant engineering, ideally with experience in SCADA/HMI systems and real-time requirements.
