DESCRIPTION AND TASKS

Within Competence Center, we design and evolve solutions that support business-critical operational processes in a production environment.

We are looking for a hands-on specialist with proven experience in designing, implementing and optimizing end-to-end solutions in complex enterprise settings, ideally within insurance or financial services.

You will play a key role in the design and continuous evolution of our application landscape.

• Design and govern solution and architectures in complex, multi‑system landscapes
• Define and evolve integration architectures, using APIs, messaging and service‑based patterns
• Design and optimize end‑to‑end solution models, including long‑running processes
• Support legacy modernization, consolidation and migration initiatives
• Contribute to identity, access and security architectures, including compliance‑driven contexts
• Align business processes, information flows and technical solutions
• Support exception handling, resilience and operational stability for mission‑critical flows
• Provide architectural guidance during delivery, release and production support
• Collaborate with internal teams, vendors and external partners
• Support RFI/RFP and supplier selection activities where relevant

You are comfortable operating across analysis, design and implementation phases and take a pragmatic, delivery-oriented approach shaped by real production constraints.
