Your role in the team
- SIGNAL IDUNA is fundamentally restructuring its business foundation: We are transforming substantial parts of our business processes and application landscape – from core insurance systems to cross-sectional systems – to realize new potentials on a cloud-ready and AI-native technology basis.
- The Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) function serves as a strategic control center: We plan, monitor, and steer the transformation of the entire application landscape and work closely and effectively with the responsible agile teams on key strategic transformation projects and initiatives.
- As an Enterprise Architect (m/f/d), you are the catalyst for this profound transformation. You connect business visions with future-proof architectural concepts and ensure that strategic guidelines are translated into viable solutions.
- Your core responsibilities include, among others:
- You plan and manage strategic transformation initiatives holistically to fundamentally modernize core insurance and cross-sectional systems and transition them into a modular, cloud-ready, and AI-capable target architecture.
- You design, update, and coordinate robust target architectures as well as migration paths, while keeping regulatory requirements such as DORA and industry-specific compliance securely in view.
- In close collaboration with domain and solution architects, initiative leads, and agile teams, you ensure the feasibility, coherence, and high delivery quality of the solutions.
- You define and establish binding architecture principles and standards – from Cloud-Ready and API-First to Data- & AI-Readiness – to avoid siloed solutions and technical legacy issues.
- You continuously analyze the existing application landscape to identify needs for renewal or consolidation early on and to derive specific architectural changes.
- You prepare strategic technology decisions for management and steering committees, represent them convincingly, and communicate complex scenarios in an understandable and business-oriented manner.
Our expectations of you
Education
- You have a degree in (Business) Informatics, Mathematics, Physics, or a comparable IT qualification.
Qualifications
- You have already successfully led complex, long-term transformation programs such as cloud transformations, legacy migrations, or core system renewals from an architectural perspective.
- You possess in-depth knowledge of modern architectural styles such as cloud-native, microservices, event-driven, APIs, as well as the integration of data and AI platforms.
- You are familiar with the regulatory requirements in the financial sector, such as VAIT or DORA, and skillfully integrate compliance with agile working methods.
- You communicate effectively at all levels, moderate confidently, and persuade stakeholders from the development team to C-level executives.
- You think strategically, act pragmatically in everyday situations, and bring calm to complex issues as a solution-oriented personality.
- Ideally, you possess certifications such as TOGAF, iSAQB, or cloud certifications.
- You are willing to travel to our locations in Dortmund and Hamburg and communicate fluently in German.
Experience
- You have extensive experience in enterprise, domain, or solution architecture of mission-critical core systems, ideally in a regulated financial or insurance environment.
What we offer

- You can shape changes every day and make a significant contribution to the company's success.
- You will find modern spaces and areas that support your creative work.
- You can register for numerous training courses through our continuing education platform and develop yourself both within and outside the field.
- You can relax in the sun with 30 days of vacation per year or go hiking in the mountains.
- You benefit from flexible working hours and can work from home or remotely 2 days a week.
- You benefit from discounts on your insurance contracts and products of our financial subsidiaries.
