**Role Purpose**

This is not a standard architect job. As Principal Software Architect (SAFe, Cloud), you will become the principal architect for a real-time payments platform that drives daily transactions across Europe, shaping financial lives in real time. This is your opportunity to leave a personal, technical mark within our agile, cross-border team, without bureaucracy, and with the trust and freedom to build at scale.

At Worldline, you’re not a small piece in a huge apparatus. You will challenge outdated technologies, drive forward our cloud transformation, and architect payment solutions that will be referenced across the industry. You advise, mentor, and enable senior developer, in your team and beyond, while working side by side with leadership at eye-level.

If you are ambitious and feel underchallenged or too system-limited in your current role, this role will put you to the test every day: architecting, decision making, and directly shaping the next generation of European payments with visible, international impact.

- Enable and evolve our cloud migration journey (k8s/Docker, preferably Own Cloud & AWS; legacy Oracle DB, moving to PostgreSQL; strong focus on reliability & security)
- Support further software development projects—they are independent, yet strategic, requiring sound decision-making in ambiguous, rapidly changing environments
- Closely collaborate and communicate with European stakeholders (developers, operations, business, regulatory) at all levels and across cultures—acting with awareness, clarity, and respectIf interested and suitable, personnel responsibility for developers can be optionally taken on; not a must, the pure technical lead role is welcome**Your Profile**
- Senior software architect in complex, mission-critical backend/service worlds (Java, at enterprise/payment-scheme grade)
- Excellent methodological knowledge of modern architectures, proven with cloud-native/DevOps stack and CI/CD (Kubernetes, Docker, GitLab, Terraform, SonarQube, AWS/OwnCloud, PostgreSQL; AMQ, Grafana, Angular a plus)
- Trusted leadership and “tech mentor” qualities: respected as architect and senior engineer, shaping the daily work in code and concept
- High intercultural competence, distinct European communication “flair”—confidence giving/receiving open, direct, constructive feedback
