IT Architect (*) in Essen or Berlin in Essen bei ista

IT Architects at ista advise our deciders and enable our teams. We are a small, distributed group of thinkers and doers leading the effort to create next-generation digital solutions for the customers of one of Europe’s major energy service providers.

You are a fit for us if you know what it means to feel the consequences of your decisions. Both when things went as planned and when they went downhill. You are a fit if this experience has made you a pragmatist who doesn’t reinvent the wheel every time something needs to be rolling. And if you are a team player sitting next to developers discussing code, going out of your way to help them build secure, robust and highly maintainable tech.

• You have demonstrable, relevant experience in the design and integration of large applications, either as a lead developer or as an IT Architect
• You have relevant experience with various architectural styles, from classical 3-tier to event-based to cloud architectures - and you can explain the tradeoffs
• Your technological expertise covers one or more of these topics: frontend, database, integration or cloud technologies
• You find the right language when talking to developers, product owners, and managers. You explain to developers why they need to focus on customer-centric features and explain to product owners why they must care about technical debt
