Software Architect (m/f/d) Health Insurance

This is us
We are transforming the insurance world – and are looking for you to help shape the future. As one of the largest German insurers and financial service providers with headquarters in Hamburg and Dortmund, we have undergone a fundamental transformation in recent years. Our modern and agile working environment, in which we work in a user-centric way, is characterised by openness and courage. In doing so, we place great value on mutual appreciation and trust. We welcome diversity in all its facets and believe that different perspectives and experiences are crucial for innovation. Become part of our team, contribute your ideas and help us change the present.
We are modernising our core systems! As part of our initiative to future-proof our statutory health insurance (SHI) contract service, we are gradually migrating our tried-and-tested mainframe applications to a modern Java full-stack architecture. To this end, we are looking for a bridge-builder who understands both the mainframe world and is proficient in modern cloud and full-stack technologies to actively help shape our transformation journey.
