Software Architect that wants to take the lead

Are you fluent in designing distributed systems and skilled at creating business-focused solutions using modern architecture? Do you enjoy sharing knowledge, facilitating workshops, and helping teams reach engineering excellence? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you.

Danske Bank's IT landscape is evolving towards distributed systems, leveraging public cloud platforms. We are transitioning banking capabilities to the cloud, exposing functionality and data as APIs and events.
