What your day will look like About The Role We are looking for two Cloud Application Modernisation &

• Agentic Architects (f/m/d) to own the end-to-end refactoring of Thinkproject's application portfolio — 10 applications, 3 of which are major, mission-critical products. You will work as a pair, splitting application ownership between you, and you are expected to move quick: full refactoring across the portfolio within 6–8 months. This is not a design-and-delegate role. You will roll up your sleeves, conduct the refactoring hands-on, and manage the project simultaneously. You are both the engineer and the project manager. You will consume the Service Catalog built by the Cloud Infrastructure &

• Agentic Architect and the networking foundation laid by the GCP &

• Network Agentic Architect — and turn them into modernised, cloud-native applications that are more reliable, more scalable, fully observable, and cheaper to run. Time allocation (approximate): ~50% hands-on application refactoring & migration | ~25% project management, planning & stakeholder coordination | ~15% collaboration with DevOps, SecOps, Compliance &

• SRE | ~10% observability, testing & validation Key Responsibilities Application Refactoring &

• Modernisation Own the end-to-end refactoring of your assigned applications — from assessment and design through implementation and validation

Apply 12-factor app principles, event-driven architecture patterns, and cloud-native design to legacy codebases

Migrate workloads from on-prem and legacy infrastructure to GCP-native services: Cloud Run, GKE, serverless functions, managed databases, Pub/Sub

Design for scalability and on-demand resource consumption — cost efficiency is a success metric, not an afterthought

Use LLM-assisted tooling (Claude Code, OpenCode, or equivalent) to accelerate refactoring, code modernisation, and IaC generation Project Management & Delivery Own the migration plan for your applications: timeline, milestones, dependencies, risks, and rollback strategy

Track and report progress with precision - this is a time-boxed programme (6–8 months); delays must be surfaced early

Split application ownership with your paired architect: clear DRI per application, shared standards Resilience & Rollback Define and test rollback plans for every application before migration begins - you have crisis experience and you use it





Handle incidents during migration with calm, methodical rollback and root cause analysis

Ensure every migrated application meets reliability and observability standards before handover Collaboration Work closely with DevOps to integrate migrated applications into CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment workflows

Collaborate with SecOps and Compliance to ensure every migrated application meets security controls and certification requirements

Engage SRE teams to validate observability, SLO definitions, and alerting coverage post-migration

Consume and provide feedback on the Service Catalog — you are one of its primary consumers What you need to fulfill the role Required Skills & Qualifications You have migrated complex, production applications from on-prem to cloud at scale, under time pressure, and lived to tell the story.

Specifically: Proven on-prem to cloud migration experience — at scale, under tight time constraints; you have delivered migrations, not just designed them

Strong proficiency across both Azure and Google Cloud Platform — networking, infrastructure, and PaaS layers

Deep hands-on experience with Docker, VMs, GKE and AKS node management, and serverless design patterns (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Azure Functions)

Strong 12-factor app knowledge — you apply it in code, not just reference it in presentations

Strong event-driven architecture experience — Pub/Sub, event streaming, async decoupling patterns

Crisis and rollback experience — you have handled production incidents during migrations, executed rollbacks cleanly, and conducted honest post-mortems

Proven focus on scalability and on-demand resource design — your migrations reduce cost, not just shift it

Proven hands-on agentic experience: must have used Claude Code, OpenCode, or equivalent LLM-based coding agents in real engineering workflows

Comfortable operating in ambiguity — 10 applications, varying legacy states, evolving requirements; you create clarity Nice-to-Have (Bonus Skills) Strong cloud networking experience (VPCs, firewall rules, private connectivity)

FinOps awareness — cost attribution and rightsizing post-migration

Experience with SecNumCloud or C5 compliance in a migration context

Prior experience as both engineer and delivery lead on the same programme Soft Skills Extreme ownership — you own the outcome for your applications, not just the tasks

Strong project management discipline: you track details, surface blockers early, and never let a deadline slip silently

Collaborative by default — you pair well with your counterpart architect and with DevOps, SecOps, SRE, and Compliance

Crisis-calm:



you have been in production incidents during migrations and know how to lead through them

Intense technical curiosity — you follow the market, test new tools, and bring relevant innovations into the refactoring programme

Fact-driven communicator: you report progress with data, not narrative What Success Looks Like Month 2: Application portfolio assessed; ownership split agreed with paired architect; migration plan per application documented with milestones, dependencies, and rollback strategy

Month 4: First 4 applications refactored and in production (2 major + 2 add-on) — observable, scalable, cost-attributed

Month 6: 7–8 applications fully migrated; third major application on confirmed migration path or complete; observability standard adopted across migrated apps

Month 8: All 10 applications refactored and live on GCP; full observability in place; reliability and scalability improvements measured and reported; FinOps baseline established per application Success is defined as: more reliability, more scalability, full observability, lower cost — across all 10 applications. You're probably NOT a fit if You have designed cloud migrations but have not personally executed them in production

You need a stable architecture foundation before you start — legacy migration means working with what exists

You are a specialist in one cloud (Azure or GCP) but not both

You treat project management as someone else's job

You have not handled a production rollback under pressure What we offer Multicultural team across 7 countries (Germany, France, UK, UAE, Spain, New Zealand, Australia)
