Job Summary
In this role, you design and develop the Core Platform Architecture, implement self-service capabilities, and define contracts between platform and module teams to prevent bottlenecks.
Your role in the team
- At Conceptboard, we are building a collaboration product that enterprise customers, public institutions, and security-critical organizations rely on daily. To ensure that the teams developing this product can deliver at full speed at all times, they need a platform that facilitates their work — not one that slows them down.
- As a Platform Architect / Staff Engineer, you are the owner of the Core Platform Architecture — and you build it yourself, hands-on. Your number one design constraint: the platform is never the bottleneck. You think in terms of self-service capabilities, clean contracts, and clear boundaries — and you make the Platform Team the agentic engineering lighthouse for the entire organization. This is not an ivory tower role: you set direction by shipping it.
- You formulate, validate, and develop the architecture of the Core Platform - including the make-or-break decisions behind it. You are the primary point of contact for architecture ownership at the platform level, thereby relieving the existing architecture responsibility from a single individual.
- You lead and personally contribute to the proof-of-concept that validates the critical hypotheses—and then to the Platform Services themselves. You are a builder, not just a designer.
- You design services as Self-Service Capabilities that keep module teams unblocked. The thinnest viable platform beats gold-plating, always.
- You define and secure the contracts between the platform and module teams: APIs, boundaries, non-functional requirements - and ensure they are adhered to.
- You establish disciplined Agentic Engineering practices within the Platform team and make it a reference for the entire Engineering organization.
- You inspire your team with a Platform-First mindset. Your team members grow because they watch you — and because you embody the standards you set.
- You work closely with the existing architect to coordinate and validate overarching architecture decisions.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You have architected and built platforms or services at scale — and you still code. Not just an architecture background based solely on PowerPoint.
- You have built self-service platforms that have made other teams more efficient. You understand how platforms can become bottlenecks — and you actively design against that. Internal teams are your true customers.
- Testing, Contracts, Observability, CI/CD, clear boundaries - and the judgment of which Non-Functional Requirements actually matter.
- You want to build Agentic-First with discipline, not with hype – and you want to model it for others.
- Relevant domain depth for a collaboration platform, e.g., Distributed Systems or Real-Time Architecture.
Experience
- Experience in regulated environments with high compliance requirements.
- Experience with Agentic-First workflows - private or professional.
