About the role

  • As a Principal Architect, you design and implement scalable, secure software solutions aligned with our clients' business needs.
  • Lead end-to-end architecture on complex projects, from pre-sales through production deployment, ensuring deadlines are met and client satisfaction is achieved.
  • Define strategic architectural choices (patterns, technologies, integrations) and produce the associated technical documentation (ADR, guidelines).
  • Actively contribute to development (code reviews, POCs, critical components) while ensuring overall technical coherence.
  • Design and implement cloud-native solutions, containerized architectures, and robust CI/CD pipelines.
  • Act as the technical interface between project teams and stakeholders, translating business challenges into pragmatic technical solutions.
  • Contribute to the development of internal skills (mentoring, technology watch, improvement of practices).

Requirements

  • At least 10 years of experience in software architecture on large-scale projects, with a proven ability to move between strategic vision and concrete implementation.
  • Deep mastery of modern architectural patterns (microservices, event-driven, hexagonal, clean architecture) and design principles (SOLID, DDD).
  • Excellent knowledge of current technology stacks such as Java, .NET, Angular or React.
  • Strong experience in developing scalable and resilient systems based on cloud and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Solid understanding of application security concerns (OWASP, authentication/authorization, encryption).
  • Hands-on experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD, observability and monitoring of distributed systems.
  • Strong technical leadership skills, stakeholder management, and communication with both business and IT interlocutors.
  • Fluent in French and English (minimum C1); German is a plus.
Benefits
  • A young, dynamic and highly collaborative culture driven by a shared passion for new technologies and the future, with a strong client focus.
  • An environment that promotes skill development through a clear career plan offering ambitious and fast progression.
  • A modern work model that supports collaboration from our offices, remote work (home office), or client sites.
  • Competitive salary with a good work–life balance.
  • The opportunity to work with prestigious companies on a wide range of assignments involving disruptive technologies.
  • The chance to learn from expert colleagues who are always ready to share their expertise or provide constructive feedback.
  • A proven mentoring model, with a dedicated person to support your professional and personal development throughout your journey at OWT.
  • Well-located, easily accessible offices in central Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich & Bern.
