Consulting Cloud & Software Architect (m/f/d)

Your tasks with our customers are varied. We not only advise our customers on technical issues, but also have an organizational and procedural impact. You will work on an architectural and conceptual level, but will also be involved in implementation. After a very short time, you will take on responsibility for project areas or even entire projects. As a result, you will have creative freedom, make decisions and shape your future and the future of StepBeyond. Each of us leaves a footprint on our customers.

You will also take on responsibility within StepBeyond and become part of the team. You can shape our culture and drive topics that drive our company forward.

We are currently shaping the future of our customers in the following areas:

1. Cloud Transformation:
Together with our customers, we develop innovative strategies for providing digital solutions in the cloud and migrating their software development to the cloud. Whether migrating Java services to GitHub, setting up continuous deployment pipelines with GitHub actions or creating deployment infrastructures with AWS - we focus on creative implementations that set standards.

2. Cloud-native Development:
Dive into the world of cloud design, implementation and operation of applications built specifically for cloud platforms. We rely on a deep understanding of the latest cloud provider services and the ability to create scalable, secure and high-performance applications. From Kubernetes to AWS to Java, Spring Boot and Terraform, we utilize the full breadth of the cloud native interactive landscape.

3. Architectural Redesigns:
Shape the future of software architecture with us! We rethink, restructure and optimize software architectures for more efficiency, flexibility and adaptability. From the transformation to microservices-based architectures to the introduction of DevOps practices, we use Domain Driven Design and Clean Architecture to make software development more agile and deliver faster and more reliable.

4. Coaching:
For us, coaching is more than just imparting knowledge - it is the key to cultural change and success in complex projects. We not only promote technical skills, but also soft skills and best practices. From using agile methods to strengthening collaboration and communication, coaching is an integral part of our mission to support teams on the road to success.

We are a small company and want to stay that way. We maintain a very individual and personal approach. We try to get the best out of everyone. Unused potential is a no-go for us. We enjoy going to work and spending time with our colleagues. For us, satisfaction is more important than maximum profit.

We would first like to have a 15-minute interview to check whether we are a good fit. If both parties are open to a further interview, you will be invited to a more in-depth interview where you will also get to know a member of the team. In a final interview, we will then discuss the contract and everything else.
