As the Group SW Architect at Heureka Group, you will be having a key strategic role in aligning and unifying architecture across teams and domains, helping set clear principles and direction without falling into either dogmatic or corporate traps. We’re looking for a pragmatic Software Architect with a strong developer background who can navigate both technical and business worlds.
What will you do?
- Define and evolve the technology strategy for the group
- Lead standardization and unification across 3+ architectural domains
- Align development teams across the company on shared principles
- Participate in customer and business meetings to understand business drivers and tailor architecture to support them effectively
- Being part of the Staff Engineers’ team, closely cooperate with Tech Leads and other tech leaders. Recognize for their ability to influence rather than dictate, work as a team player
- Empower Technology Heads and Leaders to shape and execute a technology strategy across organizations
- Support teams through architecture evangelism, mentorship, and strategic guidance
- Be visible internally, even if not externally – clarity of thought and influence matters most
Who we’re looking for?
- You have experience in software architecture role(s), ideally across multiple systems
- Strong software engineering background
- You are a communicator and evangelist for modern architecture practices (event-driven, domain-driven etc.), but knows when to make a call—e.g. choosing a language or framework
- Understands where and how AI can be leveraged meaningfully in systems. You know cloud-native and modern architectural elements well
- You have worked in product-driven teams
- You have done technical sales or you are comfortable in business-oriented meetings
- Balanced mindset: neither rigid enterprise thinking nor agile “purist”
- You don’t require armies of analysts/project managers to move forward
- Work across teams to ensure cohesion, but doesn’t seek to own everything. Operates more like a consultant with authority than a traditional manager
Why would you love to be a Heurecian? 🤩
- Opportunity to participate in developing a product currently used by 5 millions of unique users per month in nine countries.
- There will be unique technical challenges that you just can't get anywhere else.
- Resources to implement top notch technology into our operations processes
- Opportunity to implement your own ideas. Diverse work, no stereotypes.
- Beautiful offices in Prague-Karlín
- Personal development, high level of flexibility and autonomy
- 25 + 5 days of vacation, cafeteria and other great benefits.
- And there's much more waiting for you here, you'll see for yourself.
