Cloud Architect

YOUR NEW ROLE
This role is for CODE LEAP's client company - JTL-Software
JTL-Software is one of Germany's leading providers of e-commerce and ERP solutions. More than 50,000 retailers rely on JTL every day to run their business. Our global development center in Vietnam is looking for talented people to build the next generation of these products. You'll work in an international team that pairs German software quality and Vietnamese speed to innovate.
As a Cloud Architect at JTL, you shape the strategic direction and further development of our cloud platform with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure. You design scalable, secure, resilient, and economically sustainable cloud solutions that form the backbone of our products, platforms, and internal systems.
The role sits at the intersection of strategy and engineering reality. E-commerce demands architecture that holds up under extreme conditions: massive load peaks at Black Friday and Christmas, strict requirements for availability and data security, and seamless integration of payment, shipping, marketplace, and warehouse systems. At the same time, the platform needs to be ready for the AI- driven future of commerce.
Within the JTL Group, you join a team of cloud and infrastructure experts building a shared, consolidated cloud platform - one that different products and business units depend on. You work closely with software development, DevOps, Security, and IT Operations, and you stay connected to the broader cloud community to bring new thinking in. If you want your architecture decisions to have real, lasting impact at scale, this is the role.
