Architect Lead

Spirii develops and provides world-class charging products and digital solutions to customers with electric cars. Our Digital Development department is proud to drive a listen, learn, and lead culture that allows us to improve our working methods constantly.

As an Architect Lead, you will help us build an ecosystem for the future of e-mobility. As we scale fast, we need architecture that scales with us, flexibly, pragmatic and empowering.

What will you do

• Provide Vision & Principles: Define and share the architectural north stars — our guiding intent and non-negotiables. Clarify trade-offs (speed vs. reliability vs. cost) and empower teams to make balanced choices.

• Steward Enabling Constraints:
  Maintain and evolve Spirii’s Tech Radar and Constraints Catalog. Continuously adapt constraints based on real-world feedback, retiring what no longer serves.

• Coach & Multiply: Run architecture office hours, design pairing sessions, and guild discussions.
  Grow the architectural literacy of engineers through lightweight practices like ADRs and option-making.

• Facilitate Cross-Cutting Decisions:
  Step in when architectural choices span multiple teams or carry systemic impact.
  Align through facilitation and shared understanding, not sign-off authority.

• Capture & Feed Back Learning:
  Turn lessons from incidents, retros, and design reviews into systemic improvements.
  Feed insights back into shared patterns, principles, and learning loops.

Who You Are

• You thrive on helping others make great technical decisions
  rather than making them all yourself.

• You’re comfortable balancing big-picture architecture with hands-on engagement.

• You communicate clearly, simplify complexity, and foster shared understanding.

• You believe in influence through credibility and collaboration, not hierarchy.

• You have a strong sense of ownership and curiosity — you don’t just see problems, you connect them.

• You love seeing teams succeed independently, and you take pride in multiplying their impact.

• You create an open, respectful, and psychologically safe environment where ideas and learning flow freely.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate has relevant experience with the development of digital cloud-based solutions
in an agile start-up / scale-up environment.

Must-have experience:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ in architecture or principal roles.

• Deep experience designing and evolving distributed, event-driven, or microservice architectures.

• Strong knowledge of cloud-native ecosystems (AWS/GCP/Azure), CI/CD, DevOps, and containerization.

• Proficient with Cloud Security

• Experience facilitating technical strategy across cross-functional teams.

• Excellent communicator and mentor — able to translate architecture into clarity and action.

• Hands-on familiarity with modern stacks (Node.js, Kotlin/Java, Python, React, Kubernetes).

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science or related field — or equivalent experience.
