(Senior) Software Architect (M / F / D)

So why should you read on?

Do you want to move beyond just ticket-crunching and start shaping the technical soul of a product? At DieProduktMacher (DPM) , we don’t just build software; we consult on conscious digital products that solve real problems.

As a (Senior) Software Architect, you occupy the sweet spot between deep technical execution and strategic advisory. You’ll have the autonomy to design resilient architectures while acting as a high-level technical partner for our clients — helping them navigate the bridge from a visionary idea to a scalable reality.

You're the one we are looking for, if

• ...you are a software architect by heart. You view languages and frameworks as tools, using the basics of computer science as your guide. You know when to invest time in architectural planning and when to build pragmatically.
• ...you are a structured generalist. You have a quality-first mindset and a structured way of approaching problems, utilizing an agile mindset and patterns such as Domain-Driven Design.
• ...you thrive on variety. You enjoy the agency context. Switching between different industries and technical challenges excites you.
• ...you are an eye-to-eye consultant. You enjoy communicating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and driving technical discussions both internally and externally.

Your Role in Shaping the Future

In this role, your time is split between hands-on development (approx. 60%) and technical conceptualization & consulting (approx. 40%) .

Develop Products Holistically : You lead projects from technical estimation through implementation to cloud deployment. You define the technical strategy that makes a product viable and sustainable.

Consult at Eye-Level : You advise clients ranging from startups to international players. You translate complex concepts into clear business trade-offs, acting as a technical sparring partner for both client leadership and our internal teams.

Leverage Modern Tooling : You choose the right tool for the job. This includes building robust custom code, utilizing AI to enhance product capabilities, or implementing No-code and Low-code solutions to accelerate time-to-market.

Move from Idea to Impact : You validate solutions by building fast prototypes, evolving them into robust production code, and managing the underlying cloud infrastructure.

Co-shape Engineering : You drive technical discussions and evaluate emerging technologies for their practical value. By mentoring peers and establishing standards, you help raise our collective engineering bar.

Your Value-Add

Experience : You bring 5+ years of experience in building digital products, including at least 2 years in a leading architectural or technical consulting role.

Innovative Mindset : You are eager to utilize AI, No-code, and Low-code platforms to solve client problems efficiently.

Cloud Literacy : You have proven experience in building and deploying modern cloud applications and understand how architectural decisions impact costs and maintainability.
