We are TecAlliance — founded by more than 30 automotive aftermarket companies as a neutral Data‑as‑a‑Service market connector, serving as the neutral data terrain that interconnects them. With over 1,000 employees worldwide and customers in 140 countries, we enable the market — we never compete with it.

You will be the architecture expert in the Information Management business unit - a team of specialist who design, develop, and operate the applications and tools powering TecAlliance’s data backbone- The Global Data Platform. This is a modern, cloud-native ecosystem built to process and govern hundreds of critical data flows across domains and markets. It sits at the very heart of our organisation - and we’re looking for a System Architect to shape its future.

As part of the central System Architecture team within Business IT, you also work closely with peer architects, engaging in regular exchange to ensure a consistent, high-quality enterprise-wide architecture and jointly report to the Lead System & Enterprise Architecture, Markus.

🔎 Your Mission

As a System Architect, you will:

• Join a strategically critical transformation as we renew our core systems and expand our Global Data Platform — shaping the technological backbone of our future business.

• Take architectural ownership for the Information Management business unit

You won’t just design systems — you will influence strategy, enable teams, and shape the long-term technical direction of a business-critical data platform.

🚧 What You’ll Do

• Own the architecture: Lead the architectural direction of the Information Management domain, ensuring scalable, resilient, secure and future-proof solutions.

• Design modern, cloud-native systems: Architect data-driven platforms with a strong focus on AWS, serverless patterns, modularity, and maintainability.

• Align business and technology: Translate strategic objectives into actionable solution designs and architectural blueprints that engineering teams can execute with confidence.

• Drive architectural consistency: Work closely with fellow System Architects to maintain coherence across business units and contribute to enterprise-wide standards.

• Enable and mentor: Act as a trusted advisor and sparring partner to engineers, product stakeholders and leadership. Coach teams on best practices, architectural patterns and technical decision-making.

• Balance impact and pragmatism: Make thoughtful trade-offs between scalability, performance, security, cost and delivery timelines.

Your Profile

• Proven knowledge with AWS, including designing of serverless systems.

• Solid experience in a System Architect or Solution Architect role.

• Strong consulting skills, with the ability to guide stakeholders and development teams effectively.

• Hands-on experience with data-driven architectures such as data mesh, lakehouse architectures, and metadata management.

• Openness for applying AI tooling to architecting, coding, and documenting

• Solid understanding of data quality, data catalog, data observability, and data lineage principles

• English communication skills (spoken and written).
