YOUR ROLE

We are seeking a hands-on Solution Architect to join our team at Edenred.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong technical background who is ready to step into architecture while remaining actively involved in code and implementation.

Your initial mission will focus on Authentication and OpenID Connect, supporting application migrations and defining authentication strategies for our API platforms.

Future responsibilities will expand to different topics like:

• integration projects involving technologies such as Kafka and orchestrators.
• BPM & rule engines
• …

Basically, the goal is to build a strong team being able to enrich group solutions catalog and deliver value to all Business units and Strategic platforms. A solution is not only a technical choice: it comes with guidelines, expertise, target operating model & support.

Ideally, you're familiar with Java ecosystem, to mitigate .Net prominence at headquarter level.

First and non-exhaustive key responsibilities

• Actively participate in code reviews and propose technical improvements, particularly in authentication and security mechanisms (OAuth, OpenID Connect).

• Lead and support the migration of applications to new authentication flows and platforms, ensuring secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

• Define and document API platform authentication strategies, collaborating closely with development and DevOps teams to ensure alignment with business and security requirements.

• Go beyond security topics, with integration solutions and architecture blueprints, mainly around message brokers and orchestration platforms.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (developers, security, operations) to ensure seamless integration and effective delivery of solutions. Stay up to date on best practices in authentication, API security, and integration, and promote their adoption within the group.*

YOUR PROFILE

To be successful in this role you should :

• BS/MS in Computer Science or related area, or equivalent work experience - advanced degree preferred.

• Have 4+ years of experience in the software product in solution architecture and software development roles.

• Being hands-on is a key accelerator, and ideally, your dev skills are in the Java ecosystem. Why? Headquarter is mainly .Net oriented, it's part of the group strategy to mitigate it by bringing Java skills, required by some important Business units.

• Demonstrated experience or strong interest in authentication protocols (OpenID Connect, OAuth2, SAML) and secure session management

• The most important skill for this role is being a fast learner—don't worry if you don't know everything upfront; what matters most is your curiosity and willingness to dive deep, quickly mastering new technologies and concepts as needed.

• Knowledge of industry best practices, technologies, architectures and emerging technologies.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, able to bridge technical and business needs.

• Not necessarily an expert but motivated to grow in architecture and take increasing responsibility.

• Languages required: Fluent English. Other languages such as French, Spanish, Portuguese is a plus.
