Software Architect

At Materialise Medical, we believe that better healthcare starts with solutions designed around the individual patient. If you’re passionate about bringing personalized care to every patient, you’ll love being a part of this team. Through the technology we develop, researchers, engineers, and clinicians are revolutionizing personalized treatment — helping improve and save lives daily. 

As a Software Architect, you will help shape the future of our SaaS platform as we evolve from a serverless, AWS-oriented approach toward a more container-based, cloud-native architecture. You will work across a mixed technology landscape, helping steer the platform in a .NET-preferred direction while understanding and supporting existing Python-based services. This is a key role for someone who enjoys combining technical vision, pragmatic decision-making, and cross-team leadership to build scalable, secure, and maintainable software.

• Lead architecture decisions across services, APIs, integrations, and platform capabilities.
• Guide the move toward container-based architectures and modern cloud-native engineering practices.
• Work closely with engineering teams to improve software design, code quality, testing, deployment, and production readiness.
• Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams to align solutions with company standards, templates, and deployment practices around Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, and monorepo workflows.
• Shape multi-tenant SaaS capabilities, including tenant-aware services, security boundaries, and platform scalability.
• Partner with product management, stakeholders, and technical leaders to shape and defend the technical roadmap.
• Mentor engineers and help foster strong architectural and engineering practices across teams.

• Experience designing SaaS and multi-tenant solutions.
• Strong knowledge of API design, HTTP, REST, and service integration patterns.
• Solid understanding of application and API security best practices.
• Experience working with relational and NoSQL databases.
• Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to explain and defend technical decisions across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to lead through influence, mentor engineers, and create alignment across teams.

• Experience with Python in production systems.
• Familiarity with Helm, ArgoCD, and monorepo-based development models.
• Experience with at least one major cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
