Job Details

WHO WE ARE 

For over 50 years, we have worked closely with investment and asset managers to become the world’s leading provider of integrated investment management solutions. We are 3,000+ colleagues with a broad range of nationalities, educations, professional experiences, ages, and backgrounds in general.    

SimCorp is an independent subsidiary of the Deutsche Börse Group. Following the recent merger with Axioma, we leverage the combined strength of our brands to provide an industry-leading, full, front-to-back offering for our clients.   

SimCorp is an equal-opportunity employer. We are committed to building a culture where diverse perspectives and expertise are integrated into our everyday work. We believe in the continual growth and development of our employees, so that we can provide best-in-class solutions to our clients.  

 

WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US   

We are building the architectural foundation for our next-generation SaaS platform—scalable, observable, and operable by design. A key part of this journey is defining a Control Plane: a unified set of capabilities to manage infrastructure, deployments, service discovery, and operational insights across a complex landscape.

The System Architect will play a central role in designing how observability, operational control, and deployment models work together across the stack. While the emphasis is on platform and infrastructure architecture, the role also interfaces closely with software architecture—ensuring frameworks and libraries support consistency in telemetry, service integration, and lifecycle management.

WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 

  • Design Control Plane Architecture
    Help define and evolve the architecture that enables lifecycle management of services, infrastructure, and operational data across cloud and on-prem environments.

  • Shape the Observability Stack
    Lead architectural direction for our observability approach using OpenTelemetry and related tools, including centralized vs. decentralized data collection strategies.

  • Integrate with Platform & Runtime
    Align observability and control functions with infrastructure as code, policy management, service configuration, and runtime orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes, Azure).

  • Support Consistent Service Telemetry
    Ensure system-level observability is aligned with the frameworks and libraries used by development teams—supporting consistency and developer productivity.

  • Collaborate Across Architecture Domains
    Work alongside software, infrastructure, identity, and security architects to ensure alignment across boundaries, while maintaining focus on operational and delivery needs.

  • Drive Deployment View and Roadmaps
    Own the definition of “desired state” architecture and operational views; work with engineering teams to translate vision into roadmap and implementation plans.

  • Contribute to Governance and Standards
    Participate in architecture forums, technical design reviews, and shared documentation practices that drive convergence and quality across teams.

WHAT WE VALUE   

Most importantly, you can see yourself contributing and thriving in the position described above. How you gained the skills needed for doing that is less important. We expect you to be good at several of the following and be able to - and interested in - learning the rest.  

  • Understand Both Infra and App Layers
    You’re grounded in platform and infrastructure concepts, but understand enough about modern application architecture to collaborate effectively on end-to-end designs.

  • Design for Operability
    You care deeply about how systems behave in production—and help shape patterns that support reliability, scalability, and insight.

  • Communicate and Align
    You can engage peers across technical domains and influence without needing direct authority, using structure, clarity, and empathy.

  • Balance Vision with Delivery
    You work iteratively, breaking down ambitious ideas into steps that move us forward with measurable impact.

  • Thrive in Complexity
    You are comfortable in large-scale environments with many moving parts, and you bring coherence where others see fragmentation.


BENEFITS   

Attractive salary, bonus scheme, and pension are essential for any work agreement. However, in SimCorp we believe we can offer more. Therefore, in addition to the traditional benefit scheme, we provide a good work and life balance: flexible working hours and a hybrid model. And opportunities for professional development: there is never justonly one route - we offer an individual approach to professional development to support the direction you want to take.
