Technology Architect — Accenture Sweden

Job Description

Great architecture connects bold ideas with systems that work in the real world. Enjoy exploring the big picture, getting into the technical detail and helping teams turn "what if?" into "what's next"?

Join Accenture Sweden and help shape technology that makes a meaningful difference for our clients.

We're looking for architects with 5+ years of relevant experience to join our Enterprise Architecture team within Software & Platform Engineering, part of Digital Core. Your strengths might lie in Software Architecture, Application Architecture, Solution Architecture, Integration Architecture or Enterprise Architecture or other architecture related fields. You don't need to cover every discipline-we value depth in your area, curiosity about others and the ability to connect the dots.

Our clients work across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments, with Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud as our key public-cloud platforms. You'll help them choose the right approach for their needs-not simply the newest technology-and balance innovation with the realities of existing systems, security, cost and delivery.

What you'll do

• Translate business ambitions into clear architecture choices, actionable designs and practical roadmaps.

• Shape solutions across applications, software, integration and platforms, connecting individual delivery decisions to the wider enterprise landscape.

• Design modern architectures spanning on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments, including cloud-native solutions and the modernisation of existing systems.

• Explore approaches such as APIs, event-driven systems, distributed applications, managed services and containers where they deliver real value.

• Build security, resilience, performance, observability, maintainability and cost awareness into designs from the start.

• Facilitate workshops, make trade-offs understandable and bring business stakeholders, engineering teams and platform specialists together around a shared direction.

• Stay connected to delivery: validate ideas through prototypes, support implementation and evolve designs as teams learn.

• Contribute to architecture principles and technical governance that enable teams rather than slow them down.

• Share your knowledge, learn from colleagues and help our architecture community grow.

Qualification

What you'll bring

• 5+ years of relevant professional experience in technical architecture, with a solid foundation in software engineering, application delivery, integration or platforms.

• Depth in one or more of Software, Application, Solution, Integration or Enterprise Architecture, and an interest in how these disciplines fit together.

• Experience taking architecture from requirements and design into implementation, with an understanding of how systems are deployed, operated and evolved.

• Experience with on-premises, cloud or hybrid environments and an understanding of their trade-offs. Experience with Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud is valuable; expertise across all three is not required.

• The ability to explain technical decisions clearly, listen to different perspectives and connect architecture to business outcomes.

• A collaborative approach, sound technical judgement and curiosity about better ways to solve problems.

• A relevant academic degree or equivalent professional experience.

• Additional experience we'd love to hear about

• These are conversation starters, not a checklist. Bring the experience that makes your perspective distinctive.

• Cloud-native and distributed architectures, domain-driven design, APIs, event streaming or integration platforms.

• Platform engineering, internal developer platforms and improving developer experience.

• Containers and Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, GitOps or DevSecOps.

• Architecture for data and AI-enabled applications, including responsible adoption and integration with existing systems.

• Application modernisation, cloud migration or evolving complex technology landscapes incrementally.

• Enterprise architecture methods, capability mapping, target architectures or technology roadmaps.

• Consulting, client-facing delivery or architecture in complex or regulated environments.

Your team and your next chapter

You'll join a welcoming architecture community in Accenture Sweden where different technical backgrounds and perspectives make our work better. We collaborate across disciplines and industries, share what we learn and support one another through both the interesting challenges and the tricky ones.

Expect opportunities to broaden your experience through varied client challenges, exchange ideas with colleagues and develop your expertise through learning and knowledge sharing. Whether you want to deepen a specialism or grow across architecture disciplines, there's room to bring your interests into the conversation.

And it's not all architecture diagrams. We make time for shared interests, social activities and learning together-because good connections matter beyond the project too.

Interested? Let's talk.

If you enjoy solving meaningful technology challenges with people who are curious, collaborative and willing to explore new ideas, we'd love to hear from you. You don't need to match every optional skill to start a conversation. Tell us what you've built, the decisions you've shaped and what you'd like to learn next.
