Shape the Decisions Behind Our Product Model — Not Just the Diagrams
Are you energized by architecting for empowered product teams rather than for a control room? We're looking for an Enterprise Architect to guide Vitrolife Group through our shift from project-driven delivery to a domain-based product operating model — in a MedTech setting where regulation, AI governance, and platform engineering all have to work together from day one.
Your Mission
You'll architect for team autonomy and clear domain boundaries, govern through decision records instead of review-board theatre, and treat regulatory constraints (SaMD, IEC 62304, MDR/IVDR) as inputs to design rather than a documentation exercise at the end. You'll also help define how AI is governed across the enterprise, and how AI is used responsibly within the architecture practice itself.
What You'll Do
Architect for empowered, autonomous product teams aligned to business domains, not a central control point
Own canonical domain and data models across the organization, including alignment to standards like FHIR R5 where relevant
Write and review architecture decision records (ADR/LDDR) as the primary governance mechanism
Define enforceable, auditable guardrails for agentic AI systems, aligned to the EU AI Act
Bring SaMD classification, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, and MDR/IVDR cybersecurity requirements into architecture decisions from the start
Champion Team Topologies, platform engineering, and governance-as-code across delivery pipelines
What You Bring
Proven experience as an enterprise, solution, or lead architect in a product-operating-model or platform-engineering context
Strong grounding in domain-driven design, capability mapping, and canonical data modeling
Comfort with Azure landing zone architecture, Terraform, and modern CI/CD (OIDC, GitHub Enterprise Cloud)
A track record of governing through decision records and paved paths rather than central approval gates
The instinct to separate governing AI from using AI — and to keep accountability for outcomes either way
An enabler mindset: you see internal teams as customers of the platform, not requesters in a queue
Bonus Points For (Highly Desired for This Role)
Experience in MedTech, life sciences, or another regulated industry (MDR/IVDR, ISO 13485, IEC 62366, IEC 81001-5-1)
Familiarity with FHIR and healthcare data interoperability standards
Experience embedding SBOM, SLSA, or STRIDE-based threat modeling into delivery pipelines
Exposure to .NET / C# backend architecture and vertical slice design
Experience with fine-grained authorization models (e.g. OpenFGA) alongside Entra ID
