Banking architecture without the red tape of a large corporation: your own infrastructure, your own team structure, quick decision-making—and your technical decisions are the final word.
You will be responsible for the solution architecture for our (second) delivery team, which is building one of the most widely used corporate customer channels in Austria for our banking client on a central platform—endend-to-end—from the front end through business logic to integration via the platform API—including signature and form modules and identity verification via photo ID and ID Austria. In addition, there are several AI use cases in customer service and chatbots.
This isn’t just another feature team among many: We’ve deliberately positioned ourselves as a “speedboat” alongside the bank’s internal corporate IT—with our own infrastructure, our own team structure, and quick decision-making processes.
What this means for you:
- Architecture with a hands-on approach: You’ll spend about 20% of your time writing code yourself—you’ll stay technically involved, not just be in charge of diagrams. You’ll have ultimate responsibility for the code produced.
- Actively shaping AI-driven delivery rather than just using it: You’ll promote and drive AI-supported delivery within the team and make it measurable—one of the most in-demand skill sets on the market right now—and you’ll actively help shape the approach here.
- A team that challenges you: Over 80% of your colleagues have more than 13 years of experience. Currently ~20 people, growing to 30—(50% in Vienna, 50% at SPG Poland)—with a broad range of professional and technical expertise (Auto QA, Scrum Master, Technical BA, Consultant, Lead Dev, DevOps, Technical Project Manager).
- Growing responsibility: You’ll start with the corporate client tracks—in the coming quarters, your scope will expand to include additional topics within the program.
The details:
- Remote + approx. 2 days/week in Vienna, approx. 10% travel.
- German C2, English C1.
