Solution Architect PIM DAM

“Solution architect” is quite the title. Here’s what you’ll be responsible for: 

• Let’s be clear: Customers rarely come to us saying ‘I need you to build me an SSoT solution’. Based on the issue they describe, you’ll come to grips with their business reality and design a solution that perfectly fits their needs.
• While the development portion is the project’s biggest chunk, as a solution architect you’ll focus more on the follow-up, meaning you keep a close eye on your team of expert developers.
• Keeping into account the specific client context and the standard functionalities of the solution, you’ll configure the system.
• You’ll often meet with the customer and organize workshops to explain the project’s workflow. Since you’ve established solid working relationships, the client will count on you to translate complex technical lingo into understandable business terms.
• You’ll play a friendly game of idea ping-pong with stakeholders all over the company, streamlining back-and-forth meetings between the client’s development team and delaware’s.
• As a solution architect, you’ll be in the lead of projects, getting the absolute best out of your team, every step along the way. In the end, solutions are built together!

 We have offices in Gent, Antwerpen, Wavre, Kortrijk and Lummen, but you will also regularly visit our clients on-site, to discuss requirements and train key users. Many of our clients are international players, which means your work as a solution architect might take you abroad as well. Don’t let that put you off, though: These trips usually take 2 to 3 days and we’ll always strive to minimize the impact on your work-life balance.

Now that you know what you’ll be doing on a daily basis, let’s see if your toolbox includes the skills a delaware solution architect needs: 

• Do you have solid, hands-on experience in .NET development? To us, this means you have gained in-depth technical expertise through the design and development of cloud solutions.
• If you know your way around Azure, that’s a definite plus. Just so you know, all of the solutions we build and implement are cloud-native.
• It would be great if you have a certain feel for security – When writing code, do you keep in mind possible data breaches? Can you strike the right balance between security and usability?
• Do you combine these high-level development skills with business acumen? Even though you’re solving a technical issue, our solutions remain business-oriented. We bridge the gap between business and IT.
• With your strong client interaction skills, you’ll challenge the customer’s ideas and adjust accordingly. Will you actively join in the thought process?
• Next to architecting skills, do you have the leadership and management skills to have your team working in the most efficient way? Are you eager to lead and drive the direction of architecturally challenging projects?
• Can you express yourself easily in Dutch and English?
• And last but not least: Do our company values appeal to you? We take care of our employees and customers, we are committed, enterprising and respectful, and we do everything based on a sense of positive team spirit.
