Solution Architect

Ciklum is looking for a Solution Architect to join our team full-time in Poland.

We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role:

As a Solution Architect, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.

You will own solution design from idea through production, shaping architectures across cloud platforms, applications, integrations, data, and AI-driven capabilities into coherent, secure, and maintainable solutions.

You will work closely with internal teams and engage with customers where needed, translating business needs into practical technical designs and actionable delivery plans.

This is not a pure architecture role. You will contribute hands-on where it adds value, support teams in solving complex technical challenges, and ensure architecture decisions are grounded in delivery reality. You will also help embed modern engineering practices, including effective use of AI in both solution design and software delivery, to improve quality, speed, and business impact.

We are specifically looking for a broad, adaptable technologist rather than a narrow specialist — someone who is comfortable working across architecture, engineering, integration, cloud, data, and emerging AI patterns.

Responsibilities:

• Own and drive the end-to-end design of solutions from discovery through implementation, deployment, and production readiness, ensuring alignment with business goals, enterprise standards, and long-term maintainability
• Translate business needs into clear technical scope, architecture decisions, delivery plans, and measurable outcomes in collaboration with stakeholders, development teams, and customers where needed
• Shape cohesive end-to-end solutions across applications, integrations, cloud services, data, automation, and AI/agentic capabilities, ensuring they are practical, secure, and fit for purpose
• Provide senior technical leadership across the delivery lifecycle, guiding teams through architecture decisions, mplementation approaches, technical trade-offs, and complex problem-solving
• Contribute hands-on to critical design and development activities where needed, particularly in high-risk, complex, or business-critical areas, to ensure delivery quality and architectural integrity
• Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, reliable, observable, cost-efficient, and maintainable, with strong attention to operational readiness, resilience, and supportability
• Define and promote sound engineering practices across solution delivery, including secure design, testing strategy, CI/CD, monitoring, code quality, documentation standards, and reusable architecture patterns and guardrails

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, solution delivery, or architecture roles, including significant experience designing and delivering end-to-end solutions in production environments
• Strong experience with cloud platforms, preferably Azure, modern application development in .NET, APIs, integration patterns, and data-centric solution design
• Experience designing solutions that incorporate AI capabilities, or strong understanding of how AI services and AI-assisted engineering practices can be applied responsibly in enterprise environments
• Relevant certifications in Azure, cloud architecture, security, Agile, or DevOps are an advantage

What`s in it for you?

• Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment
• Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise
• Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications
• Endless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies
• Flexibility: Enjoy flexibility – full remote working possibilities
• Care: We’ve got you covered with company-paid medical insurance, mental health support, and financial & legal consultations
