• Shape the overall application architecture, including high-level design using the OutSystems architecture canvas and recommended patterns.
• Set architectural principles, design guidelines, and programming standards aligned with OutSystems best practices.
• Identify implementation risks early and define practical mitigation actions.
• Design software development, integration, configuration control, and lifecycle management approaches that make full use of OutSystems capabilities.
• Keep architectural decisions under active control throughout the software development lifecycle and refine them as needed to achieve the intended outcome.
• Participate in requirement analysis to confirm that proposed functionality can be built effectively on the OutSystems platform.
• Point out requirement gaps, excessive build effort, technical constraints, and other issues to business analyst teams.
• Create the Technical Design Specification independently for OutSystems solutions.
• Guide the project using established OutSystems design and development practices so the solution satisfies both functional and technical requirements.
• Work with clients to explain architecture choices, platform capabilities, and other technical considerations.
• Ensure the project makes use of proven frameworks, reusable assets, OutSystems Forge components, and custom accelerators where appropriate.
• Resolve technical issues affecting the team, including performance tuning, integration difficulties, and platform-specific challenges.

Organisation development

• Coach, train, and mentor Associate Architects and OutSystems developers.
• Share platform knowledge across the organisation through Communities of Practice and other internal forums.
• Prepare and deliver technical training on OutSystems development, architecture patterns, and best practices.
• Add practical learnings from OutSystems projects to the internal knowledge base.

Business development

• Contribute to pre-sales work by reviewing proposed technical solutions and effort estimates.
• Support client presentations and proof-of-concept demonstrations with technical input.
• Assist technical pre-sales teams with OutSystems-specific solution design and estimation.

Requirements

• Must hold at least one relevant OutSystems certification: Architecture Specialist (O11), Architecture Specialist (ODC), or Tech Lead (O11).
• Usually 10 to 15 years of experience in technical roles involving architectural and design responsibilities.
• At least 5 years of practical, hands-on experience with OutSystems, covering O11 and/or ODC.

• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, together with knowledge of OutSystems cloud deployment models.
• Working understanding of DevOps tools and practices, including OutSystems LifeTime and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong grasp of modern IT technologies and how they integrate with OutSystems.
• Familiarity with enterprise technology standards and specifications.
• Qualified in a computer science, computer engineering, information technology, or equivalent IT-related discipline.
• Must be able to travel as needed.
• Candidates should be ready to present valid certifications, project portfolio, architecture work, and evidence of technical leadership during the interview process.
