Senior Software Architect (m/f/d)

Architecture and design:

• Own architecture designs across native mobile, backend and the navify cloud, treating the app-to-cloud integration as a first-class part of the design
• Write technical designs, architecture decision records and C4 models that a team can build from
• Make trade-offs explicit (cost, risk, time to value, reuse), and keep regulated and non-regulated parts of a product cleanly separated so it can cross into medical device territory

AI-augmented engineering (aSDLC)

• Help shape our aSDLC: bring agentic tools (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT) into how we design, prototype, document and review, and show the team what good use looks like
• Set the standards and guardrails that keep AI-assisted work reliable and accountable in a regulated setting, with a human owning the result

Cloud, backend and platform

• Design backend services on our Java and Spring foundation, modular and well bounded
• Design data and integration flows across the navify Platform (identity, consent, notifications, AI, FHIR) and the cloud beneath it
• Reuse first: contribute to the reusable blueprint every new product starts from, extend our shared mobile foundation and navify rather than rebuild, and promote proven pieces back

Technical leadership and direction

• Guide squads towards a clear technical direction, and help them decide when they are stuck between options
• Partner with our mobile experts and the Cloud and DevOps sub-chapter, adding cross-domain breadth rather than competing with their depth
• Raise the bar through design reviews, pairing and mentoring, and produce documentation that keeps products audit-ready
• Help shape the team's technical direction as one voice in a shared architecture capability

• A strong track record as a Software Architect designing systems across mobile, backend and cloud rather than a single layer, with enough native mobile knowledge to partner well with specialists without being one yourself
• Depth in cloud and backend architecture: Java and Spring, modular and domain-driven design, APIs and integration, cloud-native patterns and DevOps, including CI/CD (experience of a major cloud provider a plus)
• You already build with agentic AI tools like Claude Code, get real leverage from them, know where they break down, and want to push our aSDLC work forward
• The ability to turn architecture into things a team can act on (technical designs, decision records, C4 models) and to help a team reach a decision
• Experience in regulated or safety-critical environments; SaMD or other medical device software is a strong plus
• Strong communication and the ability to bring people with you, since you lead through expertise rather than authority
• Comfortable making trade-offs and being challenged on them, and happy to get hands-on with prototypes when it takes the risk out of a design

• FHIR and healthcare data standards, identity and consent platforms, reference architecture or platform teams, deeper SaMD experience.

• Ambitious and passionate people building meaningful products for a global audience
• An innovative agile working environment allowing for collaboration with really smart people and knowledge sharing in cross-functional teams
• Loads of benefits (brand new Apple hardware, fitness, public transport, lunch benefit, language classes, professional training budget, chance to join global conferences...)
• Flexible working hours and home office policy, 5 weeks vacation
• An amazing office with a rooftop terrace, fully stocked kitchen and amazing barista coffee machines in the middle of Vienna... oh, and did we mention the best team in the world!
