What does an Enterprise Architect at Coolblue do?

As an Enterprise Architect Back Office, or as we like to call it: Back Office Engineering Boss, you are responsible for our software architecture and landscape of the Back Office area. Including strategic planning and execution. The Back Office area entails any software that is used by our employees or an (operational) process to support the day-to-day running of our business. This includes our purchasing, warehouse, delivery and installations, returns, finance, hr and energy contracts teams.

If you are more interested in Customer Facing architecture, please have a look at the vacancy.

Based on our strategic business goals, you define the most suitable Back Office Engineering architecture. You will ensure that our 40+ Back Office Development teams use technology, programming languages, principles, blueprints and guidelines that enable scalability, increase speed of delivery or reduce maintenance costs. In addition, you are able to communicate clearly about this at various levels. From proposing to management about yearly goals or promising new technology, to evangelizing principles, blueprints and guidelines to our entire development population. This way you ensure these are successfully implemented in each of our 300+ daily software releases.

Furthermore, you initiate, organize and supervise implementation of new (strategic) software engineering technologies and projects like our own Delivery Hero app or a new Warehouse Management System. You utilize the knowledge of the full Development community and support bottom-up initiatives. And more importantly, you get these initiatives done. You challenge Principal Developers on their architectural choices and contribution to the Development teams and ensure that these align with your Engineering goals and the business needs.

As Enterprise Architect, you are part of the Software Engineering Board, which steers and decides upon domain overarching Software Engineering projects, like geographical expansion to Germany. In the board you represent Back Office Engineering, by creating proposals for new initiatives, reporting on the planning and performance of your area. You'll bring your expertise to the table on overarching topics. 

You enjoy doing this

Develop the most suitable Back Office Engineering vision based on Coolblue business objectives. Initiate, organize and supervise implementation of strategic software engineering projects in order to get to your Engineering vision. Explore new technology, partnerships, languages or other opportunities to enable scalability, increase speed of delivery or reduce cost of maintenance. Advise and lead the way for our Principal Developers and Development teams as well as Product Owners, Domain Bosses, Head of Development Roadmaps and CEO. Challenge development roadmaps and guiding buy vs build decisions to ensure the right tool is used for the right job and we build software in an effective way. Hire Principal Developers based on your formation plan, allocate them to assignments, challenge them on their architectural choices and provide input for their yearly assessment. 

You recognize yourself in the following

A Master’s Degree. Several years of experience in Enterprise architecture. More than 10 years of work experience in Back Office Agile Software Development. Technical expertise and strong analytical skills. You have a clear vision of Back Office software architecture and the use of technology, languages, principles, blueprints and guidelines. Excellent leadership and communication skills to connect and lead the way for the Development community and management. Loads of autonomous drive and ownership, project management skills and problem solving skills to organize strategic projects and get them done. Autonomous drive to keep up within your field of expertise.

This is what you’re looking for in a job

Money. Challenging work to fully immerse yourself in, so that you occasionally forget that you’re at work. An extraordinarily good work environment with colleagues who make you happy, , and other. Working together in an international environment with colleagues from the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Italy, and many more.  25 leave days. As long as you promise to come back. Travel allowance, a retirement plan and where-you-work-allowance. A fine balance between working at the office and working from home. Of course, we’ll help you create the best home-office possible. Including desk chair, laptop, and blue garlands. A flat organization in the broadest sense of the word. You can have a beer with the boss if you like. Room for new initiatives and ideas. We’re always open to those, whether you’ve been with us for a week, month, or a year. A picture-perfect office at a great location. You could crawl to work from Rotterdam Central Station. We recommend just walking for 2 minutes, though. With over 30 training courses in our own Coolblue University, you can become a little better every day. A discount on all our products.

Want to know more?

Does Coolblue offer a hybrid workplace?

Working at the office makes us happy, that’s why we are working partly from home and partly from the office.

Can I keep developing myself?

Coolblue University: learning at Coolblue, in a different way.

With over 30 training courses in our own Coolblue University, you can get a little bit better every day. At Coolblue, we go back to school sometimes. But not by sitting there quietly and just listening. The training courses aren't boring, but interactive. You have to do exercises and have discussions with others. At the Coolblue University, we choose what we want to learn, so we can continue to develop en become real experts. For example, a Delivery Driver needs different training courses than a Customer Service Employe and a starter needs different courses than a manager.
