Solution Architect - Tech4Dev
At Rabobank we want to deliver the best services possible for our engineers, and you as Solution Architect can play a central role in providing them.
As a Solution Architect within Tech4Dev, you shape the architecture that enables Rabobank engineers to build, test, and run high-quality software at scale. You work on platform and engineering capabilities that support the full software development lifecycle, from development to operations.
You design and evolve cloud-native solutions that integrate seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, developer platforms, and observability ecosystems. You translate architectural vision into practical, reusable designs and standards that engineers can adopt and build upon in their daily work—combining strategic direction with hands-on guidance.
Working closely with engineers, Product Owners, and fellow architects, you influence how over 8,000 engineers and 400+ teams deliver secure, reliable, and scalable solutions.
Define and evolve architecture for developer platforms and engineering capabilities within Tech4Dev
Establish standards and guardrails for integrating capabilities into CI/CD pipelines and engineering workflows
Design reusable patterns that improve scalability, reliability, and developer experience
Guide squads in adopting cloud-native, observable, and resilient system designs
36–40 hours per week
Enabling 400+ teams across the bank
9.5 million customers worldwide
You set and roadmap solution direction across different squads within Tech4Dev.
You create and socialize end-to-end designs and solution architecture with squads, architecture colleagues, Product Owners, and other stakeholders.
You mentor and coach squads to implement the architecture and support them with challenges throughout the DevOps cycle.
“This is not an ivory-tower role — we build architecture that engineers use every day, creating solutions that are scalable, reliable, and easy to adopt across the organization.” — Solution Architect, Tech4Dev.
Within Tech4Dev, collaboration is key: you work as one solution-oriented team, enabling engineering capabilities that are used across the bank.
Our area Tech4Dev has the vision to enable a frictionless software development journey for all Rabobank engineers. From development to operations, we ensure all engineers can deliver high-quality, secure, and robust software that adheres to Rabobank standards.
Our services support the full software development lifecycle, including development tooling, CI/CD orchestration, testing capabilities, platform engineering, and developer experience improvements.
At Rabobank, your development and that of society go hand in hand. You’ll see this reflected in your personal development budget, hybrid working environment, and a healthy work-life balance.
We believe we become stronger through people who complement each other. By embracing our differences, we bring out the best in one another.

At least 3 years of Solution Architecture experience in complex enterprise environments
