Meet the job
You’ll be responsible for executing on the vision for the core of the Backbase Platform, working with fellow Architects to define how we create it, for whom, why, and in which priority. Simultaneously, you have to make sure that features created are adopted and delivered in the most beneficial way: supported through demos and training materials –you’re in charge.
