We are looking for a **Solution Architect** to join our Team!

###   
What we offer:

28,000–32,000 PLN net/month on B2B.

A direct impact on what Netguru sells and how it is built.

Variety: new industries and problems every few weeks.

AI tools and budget to experiment with new ways of delivery.  
  
**  
About the role  
**As a Solution Architect at Netguru you design the technical solution and estimate it, so that what we sell can be built on time and on budget. You are an engineer first: you design the architecture, prove it with code when needed, and turn it into an estimate you can defend. You work mostly in presales and in the first weeks of a project. This is an individual contributor role with no line management.  

**  
What you will do**

**Solution design**

-   Design the technical solution for new opportunities and RFPs: architecture, components, integrations, data flows, infrastructure and the trade-offs between options.
-   Design complex systems: many integrated components, cloud-native, enterprise scale, with the legal and regulatory constraints of the client's domain.
-   Design data-heavy and AI/ML systems: data pipelines, LLM and agentic solutions, RAG, evaluation and running costs.
-   Choose the stack and integration patterns, and justify the choice in writing.

**Estimation & risk**

-   Break the solution into a scope and estimate it bottom-up; own the assumptions and risks behind the number.
-   Factor AI-assisted delivery into effort and cost (oversight, review, token and infrastructure costs).
-   Challenge estimates from others and present options in deal reviews; flag when a deal is too risky to commit.

**Hands-on proof**

-   Build PoCs, spikes and prototypes to validate key technical choices before we commit to them.
-   Run technical discovery and inception; hand the solution over to the Tech Lead and team and support them in the first sprints.
-   Do design and code reviews when a running project needs a second opinion.

**Client-facing solutioning**

-   Join discovery calls and workshops as the technical expert, together with solutioning and delivery.
-   Write the technical part of proposals and defend it in front of the client's CTO and engineers.

**Reusable know-how**

-   Build reference architectures, recommended stacks and estimation baselines we reuse across deals.
-   Share patterns and lessons with Engineering Managers and Tech Leads.

## Requirements

-   10+ years in software engineering, with a hands-on background as a developer in major tech stacks (e.g. TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Java/Kotlin, .NET, React); you still code.
-   3+ years designing systems as an architect, principal or staff engineer, or similar.
-   Proven experience designing complex, integrated enterprise systems end to end.
-   Hands-on experience with data-heavy and AI/ML systems (including LLM-based solutions) in production.
-   Strong cloud architecture skills (AWS, Azure or GCP).
-   A track record of estimates that held up in delivery.
-   Ability to explain trade-offs to both CTOs and business stakeholders.
-   Fluent Polish and English (B2+).  
      
    **Nice to have**

-   Background in consulting or a software house.
-   Experience in regulated domains (finance, healthcare, energy, retail at scale).
-   Commerce architectures (headless commerce, PIM/DAM, headless CMS).
-   Strong Python and/or TypeScript/Node.js.
-   Interest in growing into technical leadership in the future.

## Benefits

-   UoP (CoE): Access to the WorkSmile platform offering benefits adapted to your preferences:
-   Multisport card,
-   Private health insurance package,
-   Life insurance,
-   And hundreds of other options to choose from 15 categories (shopping, leisure, travel, food, etc.).
-   UoP (CoE): PLN 175 monthly lump sum (ryczałt) for remote employees.
