Your role

As a Solution Architect with Capgemini, you will play a pivotal role in driving technological innovation, shaping and translating business and IT strategies into realizable solutions, and guiding the design of sustainable, scalable architectures that address complex business challenges.

In this role you will:

• Understand, interpret, and translate detailed business requirements into architecture specifications and solution designs that meet functional and non‑functional needs.
• Perform responsibilities related to technology, data, and application architecture, using and customizing architecture, modelling, and design tools where needed.
• Design conceptual architecture models using standard tools, define solution components, assess reusable elements from existing systems, and present multiple architectural views to communicate proposals effectively.
• Design, develop, test, and deploy customized artefacts - such as reports, scripts, diagrams, layouts, and tool configurations - based on defined requirements.
• Evolve architecture models throughout the solution lifecycle, integrating new technologies and adapting to changing requirements.
• Ensure correct IT design implementation by providing clear specifications to project teams, supporting issue resolution during development, testing, and operations, and offering governance guidance on modelling tools and conventions.

Your Profile

• Strong experience in solution architecture and design across software, cloud, and data environments, with excellent knowledge of architecture modelling, project management, and at least one architectural sub‑role (technology, data, or applications/services architect).
• Hands‑on expertise with architecture, modelling, and design tools (e.g., Sparx EA), along with solid knowledge of key IT domains such as software engineering, security, infrastructure, networking, data management, and system services.
• Proven experience in software development and working with on‑premise, virtualized, and cloud‑based infrastructures (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), including strong understanding of cloud platforms and security best practices.
• Practical experience in agile software development environments and familiarity with technologies such as OpenShift (OCP), PostgreSQL, and Kafka; biometrics knowledge is considered an advantage.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to produce and present high‑quality documentation and operate effectively in international and multicultural environments.
• Minimum 5 years of experience as a technology, data, or applications/services architect, supported by a TOGAF practitioner certification.
• Excellent communication skills in English and French, both written and spoken.
