Solution Architect (m/f/d)

About the Job

As a Solution Architect at Allianz Technology, you will define and govern the end to end architecture for one or more mobile-focused product tribes, aligning squads around a clear target state and engineering guardrails. 

You will translate business and customer outcomes into modular, scalable, secure architectures, guide solution choices across squads, and ensure non functional requirements—availability, performance, security, observability, and cost efficiency—are met. Partnering closely with Product Owners, Chapter Leads, Security, and Enterprise Architecture, you will drive architectural runway, manage cross team technical dependencies, and coach engineers to deliver high quality, cloud native solutions that power world class mobile experiences.

What you do

• Own the tribe’s target architecture and roadmaps for mobile platforms, services, and integrations. Define architecture principles, patterns, and guardrails (APIs, eventing, data, security) and ensure adoption across squads.
• Guide solution design for new and evolving mobile capabilities; run design reviews and ensure NFRs are engineered in.
• Align with Enterprise Architecture, CISO, and Platform teams on standards (cloud, networking, IAM, observability).
• Orchestrate cross squad dependencies and shared components; reduce tech debt through incremental modernization.
• Promote domain driven design, microservices, and API first approaches for scalable, resilient backends to mobile apps.
• Champion DevSecOps, CI/CD, IaC, and SRE practices (reliability, performance, cost optimization). Provide technical leadership and coaching to engineers and chapter architects; elevate engineering quality.
• Leverage data and AI assisted insights (e.g., telemetry, defect patterns) to inform architecture decisions and automation.

What you bring

• Extensive experience as a Solution/Domain/Tribe Architect leading large scale mobile or digital platforms in an Agile at scale environment (e.g., SAFe).
• Deep knowledge of mobile architectures (iOS/Android), API first and event driven designs, and integration patterns; strong domain driven design skills.
• Cloud architecture expertise (AWS/Azure/GCP), containers/Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code (Terraform); strong CI/CD and DevSecOps mindset.
• Security and privacy by design (OAuth2/OIDC, OWASP, data protection) plus observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and performance engineering.
• Proven stakeholder leadership and influencing skills across Product, Engineering, Security, and Operations; excellent English communication.
• Ability to produce pragmatic architecture artifacts (reference architectures, standards, roadmaps) and drive adoption.
• Familiarity with AI technologies and GenAI platforms is a strong advantage.

What we offer

• We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
• We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
• From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
• Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.
