RESPONSIBILITIES

Areas that play to your strengths

All the responsibilities we'll trust you with:

TEAM & CULTURE

Embedded within an agile team, you'll be a proactive and collaborative team player. This includes demonstrating strong communication skills, working across diverse groups, and embracing entrepreneurial thinking. You'll be taking initiative, owns responsibilities (even those outside your immediate scope), and thrives in a self-organized environment. A strong analytical mindset and a commitment to continuous learning are essential, as is the ability to support others and to share responsibility during on-call rotations or unfamiliar tasks.

DOMAIN DRIVEN DESIGN

One of your core responsibility will be to lead domain modelling efforts using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) methodologies, such as event storming and context mapping. You'll guide the definition of clear system boundaries and service responsibilities, ensuring architectural decisions are aligned with the domain. This work requires active collaboration across functions to align on shared domain concepts and ensure consistency and clarity throughout the organization.

DATA & INNOVATION

Last but not least, you'll play an important part in driving data-informed decisions and fostering innovation. By supporting analytics efforts and engaging with stakeholders, you'll help the team harness data insights to guide strategy and improvements. Furthermore, you'll be expected to propose innovative uses of (Generative) AI and emerging technologies to unlock new business value and improve service offerings.

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE

In this role, you'll collaborate closely with business stakeholders to understand their demands and translate them into effective solutions. This includes conceptualizing and communicating mental models across business domains, developing a deep understanding of each service, and orchestrating how services are integrated both within and across teams. To do this, you'll need strong grasp of data flows and integration patterns, considering cross-cutting concerns such as security, observability, and scalability. Additionally, you'll support build-vs-buy decisions by conducting market research, understanding available internal functionalities, and working with product managers to prioritize initiatives based on technical feasibility.

PRODUCT OWNERSHIP

On the other hand, you'll support product ownership by contributing to the product backlog, writing detailed user stories, and defining acceptance criteria. You'll be acting as the primary contact for the development team, providing clarifications and ensuring that the team is aligned on the backlog. While no hands-on engineering work is expected, a foundational understanding of software development, data engineering, and AI is beneficial to facilitate communication with the team. You'll also have end-to-end responsibility for a service, including day-to-day operational support and maintenance.
