Lead Architect

Welcome to Eficode!

We are building the future of software development - specialising in AI, Cloud, DevOps, Agile, and Enterprise Service Management. We’re passionate about sharing our knowledge—not just within our teams, but with the community around us as well. We invest heavily in our people, whether through conferences, training, or other growth opportunities. For our clients, we don't want to be just another cog in the machine; we aim to be the trusted evangelists who show what good truly looks like.

About the role

As a Lead Architect within our Technology Services team, you will bridge high-level technical architecture with commercial strategy. You will act as a trusted client advisor, shaping DevOps ecosystems, platform engineering practices, and AI-driven development tools to transform how modern engineering teams build software.

Here are your day-to-day responsibilities:

• Technical architecture: Architect and implement modern DevOps tools, GitHub Enterprise solutions, and AI/GenAI extensions into enterprise SDLC pipelines.

• Client advisory & pre-sales: Lead technical sales discussions, articulate strategic concepts, control complex technical scenarios, and influence enterprise client roadmaps.

• Project delivery leadership: Take technical ownership of project deliveries, mentoring and guiding your colleagues to drive client business outcomes.

• Platform engineering: Design self-service platform engineering tooling and infrastructure setups for clients.
  

What does success look like in this role?

We view our architects as team players, trusted advisors, and owners of delivery excellence. Success in this position means:

• Collaborative team leadership: You thrive with autonomy when leading client engagements, but stay deeply connected with your internal team, measuring success by collective outcomes rather than individual spotlight.

• Technical delivery ownership: You take end-to-end technical leadership for client projects, ensuring architectural standards and delivery excellence from kick-off to deployment.

• Measurable business impact: You deliver strong business outcomes, generate natural upsell opportunities through technical trust, and maintain outstanding client satisfaction scores.

• Influence and solid interpersonal skills: You keep control over complex consulting situations, articulate sophisticated architectural concepts with clarity, and confidently influence technical and business decisions at the client level.

Who we are looking for

You are a technical leader with a strong engineering foundation who excels at the intersection of architecture, pre-sales advisory, and project execution. You take ownership of client outcomes and possess the clarity to explain complex technical ideas simply.

• Core tech stack experience: Recent, hands-on experience (min 5+ years) with our core tech stack (SDLC, DevOps, Cloud, and AI tools).

• AI integration: Practical, hands-on experience embedding AI / GenAI tools into software engineering workflows.

• Business acumen & advisory experience: Proven background in technical pre-sales, solution consulting, and leading client discussions.

• Leadership experience: Ability to lead technical project delivery and guide team members through complex client engagements.

• Plusses: fluent Finnish and consulting experience are strong advantages.

Please note: This local hybrid position is based in Finland. Candidates must currently reside in Finland and hold valid work authorization.

Why Eficode?

• Drive software innovation: Shape how enterprise organizations build software by combining practical GenAI and modern platform engineering.

• Learn with top experts: Connect, collaborate, and grow alongside an international community of DevOps, Cloud, and AI practitioners.

• Work with trust and freedom: Enjoy flexible hours and a hybrid model built on autonomy, giving you control over your workday.

• Invest in your future: Expand your skills through extensive trainings, certifications, knowledge-sharing sessions and practice communities..

• Maintain your well-being: Beyond work, we offer comprehensive healthcare, extra paid leave when needed, and family care support to stand by you in challenging life situations and protect your work-life balance.
