You design the future.

You look critically at existing landscapes and translate strategy and technical challenges into scalable and future-proof solutions.

As a Java Architect at Sogeti, you determine the technical direction behind complex Java solutions. You analyze a client's existing application landscape and look at what is needed to make it faster, more scalable, and more future-proof.
That may mean helping to modernize an existing application, designing a microservices architecture, or making choices regarding Java, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Kafka, cloud, and databases.

In doing so, you are not only the architect who creates the design, but also the technical partner for developers and stakeholders.
You substantiate choices, guard the quality of the architecture, and ensure that strategy and technology come together.
