Arbetsbeskrivning

Are you passionate about driving change? Do you thrive in a dynamic environment where you can shape the future of logistics and how parcels are delivered – both physically and from an information perspective? Look no further! PostNord, the leading supplier of communication and logistics solutions in the Nordic region, is searching a talented System Architect to join our ongoing transformation journey.

Join us

Postnord is undergoing a large transformation within the Production domain to modernize and harmonize our IT across the Nordics. We are leaving a monolith-centric past and entering into a streaming and microservice based future in the cloud.

As a System Architect in the Production Core unit, you will be in the heart of production, creating data structures and information flows that impact how systems interact and collaborate. You will be working from operational all the way to strategic level. In collaboration with others, you will be taking decisions with immediate implications on agile development team’s backlogs.  

Job duties

Central to PostNord’s new architecture, is a streaming based Data Platform where all messages are governed by a schema registry. Schemas decide what information is being exchanged between sub-domains within PostNord. The underlying data model is under development and will continue to evolve on the maturity timeline. To be effective, the model must cater for business needs, while at the same time being lean and straightforward.

You as System Architect will primarily have focus on strengthening the Data Streaming platform for long term relevance. With hands-on experience on the platform tech-stack, you will explore different ways to further increase the usability for downstream services. You will work closely with business, architects on different levels and development teams.

An important area will be to develop the forementioned data model and ensure high data quality. You will make sure that agreed company-wide architecture principles and guidelines are followed, while also innovating and challenging status quo. In this role, you will be in a good position to play an important role in our ongoing tech-transformation and our future success!

Must-have

• Experience in working with Data Streaming platforms like Apache Kafka or Confluent

• Strong understanding of event driven architectures on a large enterprise scale

• Experience in driving organizational tech-transformations  

• Excellent communication skills with strong stakeholder management abilities

• Strong integrity and analysis skills

• Urge to understand and model business needs
