Your role in the team

  • You are the interface between business and IT, translating requirements into robust architectural decisions.
  • You design and evaluate application and service architectures (cloud and hybrid), taking standards, security, cost-effectiveness, and integration requirements into account.
  • You develop reference architectures, prototypes, and POCs, and support a smooth transition to operations.
  • You ensure compliance with our IT security and data protection requirements.
  • You support the implementation and integration of SAP S/4HANA Utilities (IS-U) and the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
  • You work closely with enterprise and infrastructure architects and take responsibility for projects—from leading them to actively contributing.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • You have completed a degree in computer science or business informatics at diploma or master’s level.

Qualifications

  • You also bring SAP expertise: S/4HANA Utilities (IS-U), core modules (FI/CO, MM, PM, PS, SD), HCM, and SAP BTP (e.g., Integration Suite, Event Mesh, CAP/Fiori).
  • You draw on a comprehensive understanding of architecture and can confidently engage across all relevant technology areas—not necessarily as an implementer, but as a knowledgeable sparring partner and decision-maker:
  • Cloud & Hybrid: Evaluate concepts, operating models, and integration patterns for modern architectures.
  • Security & Identity: Understand security and identity mechanisms and incorporate them into architectural decisions.
  • Integration & Observability: Classify integration scenarios (synchronous, asynchronous, event-driven) and define requirements for end-to-end visibility (including OpenTelemetry).
  • Serverless & Managed Services: Assess the principles of modern operating models and evaluate their benefits for scalability and cost-effectiveness.
  • You have solid requirements engineering skills, ideally in agile environments.
  • Your strong communication skills in working with business departments, IT, and management help you win over your stakeholders.
  • You also have a strong understanding of business relationships and the ability to assess requirements and proposed solutions from a commercial perspective.

Experience

  • In addition, you bring several years of experience in solution architecture and in-depth knowledge of energy industry processes and their IT implementation.

What we offer

  • This position is remunerated at pay grade 13 in accordance with the Collective Agreement for Utility Companies (TV-V).
  • For a full-time position, this corresponds to a gross annual salary of approximately €76,000–€105,000 (depending on professional experience and qualifications).
  • In addition to their collectively agreed pay, our employees receive numerous special benefits and perks, such as additional variable compensation based on the company’s financial performance in the form of bonuses and incentives, as well as an occupational pension worth 8.7% of their respective gross annual salary.
