Software Architect

What is this role about?

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 be working on?

• 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

What are we expecting from you?

• 3–5 years in software architecture roles, 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

And why you would love to be a Heurecian?

• Opportunity to participate in developing a product currently used by five million unique users per month in three 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.
