Technical Solution Architect

Are you a strategic and analytical Technical Solution Architect with a passion for connecting complex IT landscapes? At Randstad Digital, we are seeking a results-driven professional for a high-impact role at a leading B2B IT service provider. In this role, you will be the driving force behind designing scalable, secure, and future-proof IT solutions. With Application Integration as your core driver, you will align platforms, data flows, APIs, infrastructure, and security controls into a unified ecosystem. You will translate customer needs, challenge existing assumptions, and build robust architectural solutions that fit both current requirements and future directions.

Experience:

5+ years of experience in IT architecture, solution design, or complex infrastructure and integration projects.

Education:

Master's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Your Responsibilities:

• Translate business objectives, technical requirements, and operational needs into realistic, secure, and scalable end-to-end technical solutions.
• Take full technical ownership of solutions from initial analysis and design through implementation follow-up and transition to operations.
• Leverage Application Integration (API-led, event-driven, middleware) as a design driver to align hybrid and cloud environments.
• Identify missing requirements, technical dependencies, risks, and assumptions across the complete ecosystem.
• Proactively challenge existing designs to deliver simpler, more efficient, and sustainable approaches.
• Collaborate closely with enterprise architects, engineers, vendors, and client stakeholders to deliver unified solutions.
• Support the sales community with RFPs, RFIs, customer workshops, and technical solution validations.
• Account for the complete solution lifecycle, including observability, security, capacity, Disaster Recovery, and decommissioning.

Your Profile:

• Strong foundation in Infrastructure & Platform Architecture (hybrid datacenters, multi-DC, High Availability, Disaster Recovery, virtualization).
• Solid understanding of Cloud-Native Platforms (OpenShift, Kubernetes, containers, CI/CD pipelines, API management).
• Hands-on knowledge of networking concepts (advanced routing, BGP, ingress/egress load balancing, security zoning, Zero-Trust).
• Deep understanding of Security by Design (IAM/Entra ID, SIEM/XDR, ZTNA, Firewalls, DLP, ISO27001).
• Demonstrated expertise in Application Integration (API-led architectures, event-driven integration, message brokers, service orchestration).
• Familiarity with Automation & Operations (Infrastructure as Code, observability, monitoring, logging, capacity planning).
• Strong analytical, leadership, and communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical teams and executive management.
• Professional fluency in English; knowledge of Dutch or French is a strong asset.
