Architect (m/f/d) Senior Software Developer IT Wien, Österreich

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Developer to strengthen our internal development capabilities and help shape the future of software development within IT RDM Assay Execution. In this role, you will combine hands-on software development with technical leadership, introduce AI-enabled development practices, support the transition of applications and knowledge from external partners, and help establish a collaborative development team supporting multiple research software solutions. 

• Drive and establish modern AI-enabled software development practices, including coding, testing, documentation, code reviews, and application maintenance.
• Lead the technical handover and knowledge transfer of existing software solutions from external partners, building sustainable internal expertise.
• Support the development of an internal team of developers through onboarding, mentoring, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance.
• Define and implement common development standards and ways of working across multiple teams and software solutions.
• Analyze, modernize, and continuously improve existing software architectures while actively contributing to the design, development, testing, and maintenance of research software applications.

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Bioinformatics, or a related field, combined with several years of professional software development experience, ideally in a senior developer or technical lead role.
• Strong hands-on software engineering expertise, including experience with AI-assisted development tools, modern development practices, and the ability to assess the quality and maintainability of AI-generated code.
• Solid understanding of software architecture, databases, APIs, automated testing, Git-based development, and modern software engineering standards.
• Experience with technologies such as Java, Python, Oracle/PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and Azure/AWS is beneficial; however, the ability to quickly learn and work across different technology stacks is more important than deep expertise in a specific technology.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and mentoring skills, with fluency in German and English, as German is the primary working language of this role.

• Flexible working time models: home office and flexible working hours, depending on department and position – many things are possible with us.
• Additional days off (“bridge-days”): more free time through additional days off to bridge single working days between bank holidays and the weekend – without having to use vacation days.
• Canteen & Cafeteria: whether it's coffee and croissant for breakfast, various lunch menus or snacks in between – our subsidized staff restaurant & cafeteria has something for every taste including vegetarian and vegan options.
• Learning & development: diverse training and development opportunities for your personal and professional growth. Because: you never stop learning.
• Health promotion: health is important to us – that's why we offer different programs to promote physical and mental health.
