Let’s change dentistry together!

Are you an experienced software architect with a flair for and desire to lead!? Do you have a proven track record as an architect from larger development organizations!? Are you keen to put your efforts into products that truly make a difference to real people’s real lives, right?! So, you should press on, read the rest of this, and send us an application!

Our delivery stream develops software products for dental clinics and laboratories. The products cover a wide range of needs from enabling dental restorations and implant planning over manufacturing of these to laboratory management. The products are technology-wise very diverse products, ranging from seasoned and widely used on-prem systems coded mostly in Delphi over on-prem systems built in .NET 6.0 to new cloud products coded in Node.js and C#.

About the role

We need you to come and help us understand and actionize how to consolidate these technologies, reduce the technical debt across the products and flesh out the architectural runway for large strategic initiatives. We see this as a leadership role and a technical role where you will take the lead in gathering the local architects around you in an architecture guild and be the number one person for our product managers to consult in feasibility studies and the primary voice of our delivery stream in company-level architecture strategy. Moreover, you will coach and help the local architects establish and drive an architectural roadmap including the reduction of technical debt. Finally and most importantly, you are an inspiring and servant leader who understand the value of having two ears, but only one mouth!

The local architects that will be part of the guild you will establish and run, are based in various locations, including Copenhagen, Denmark and Kyiv, Ukraine. Our people are technically very skilled, and we have an including and respectful collaboration culture that we would like to preserve while not losing sight of important decisions to be made.
