We’re looking for an experienced Enterprise Solution Architect to guide the evolution of a large-scale IT landscape toward a cloud-based environment.

You’ll design and align technical solutions with business goals, ensuring architectural consistency across systems and teams. Operating within a SAFe-oriented DevOps organization, you’ll help shape the transformation from a decision-making to a decision-enabling architecture model.

You’ll bridge business strategy and technology execution — from defining the architectural vision to enabling development teams to deliver scalable, high-quality solutions. 

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and evolve the application and integration architecture towards a modern, Azure-based environment.
  • Translate business needs into concrete, aligned technical solutions that fit the organization’s IT strategy.
  • Support and coach development teams to deliver high-quality, maintainable systems.
  • Make the architectural vision tangible through clear communication, standards, and reusable models.
  • Promote co-creation across business and IT teams to ensure shared ownership of solutions.
  • Maintain consistency with enterprise-level principles and long-term roadmap objectives.

What are we looking for?

  • Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum 10 years of experience as a hands-on Application Architect.
  • Minimum 5 years as an Enterprise Architect, bridging business and IT.
  • Minimum 5 years working in Agile / SAFe environments.
  • Strong technical expertise in:
  • .NET Core / .NET 6+
  • Azure Cloud services (CAF/WAF frameworks)
  • Event-driven and service-based architectures (NServiceBus, Azure Service Bus, DAPR)
  • Architecture frameworks and tooling (TOGAF, Sparx EA)
  • WCF / WPF
  • Understanding of identity management (ADFS, SAML, etc.).
  • Familiarity with Azure Cognitive Services is a plus.
  • Trilingual (Dutch, French, English) — able to communicate fluently across teams and management levels.

    Nice-to-Have

    • Knowledge of the Belgian social security system for self-employed workers, especially pension calculation processes
  • What do we offer?

    • Enjoy a competitive salary package with extra perks that recognize your talent.
    • Advance your career with a clear growth path, coaching, and mentoring to support you.
    • Thrive in a dynamic and supportive environment where you can truly make an impact.
    • Work when and where you perform best, ensuring an optimal work-life balance.
    • Choose a flexible transport solution, from a company car to a public transport subscription.
    • Expand your network and enjoy unforgettable moments at exclusive events and afterworks.
    • Grow your skills with external courses and our in-house Pauwels Academy.
    • Work on exciting projects with industry leaders in Life Sciences, Engineering & Digital.
    • Seize opportunities at every level, from a strong start to career acceleration and expert collaboration.
