- You are responsible for evolving the target architecture of 8P products and the overarching platform, ensuring a consistent cloud-first, API-first, and agentic-first approach.

- You analyze existing products, platforms, and architectures and develop realistic evolution and migration paths, taking existing investments and technical dependencies into account.
- You are a technical sparring partner for Product and Engineering roles, conduct architecture, design, and security reviews, and consistently advocate for technical decisions even when stakeholder interests differ.
- You ensure that our solutions meet Wolters Kluwer’s internal requirements for architecture, security, data protection, risk, compliance, and governance, working closely with the relevant control and governance functions.
