Software Architect

• Lead collaboration with tech leads to design and implement sustainable software architecture.
• Establish engineering processes that prioritize maintainability, quality, and smooth delivery.
• Get hands-on with building key parts of the solution alongside the development team.
• Partner with clients to translate business requirements into viable technical solutions.
• Drive strategic architecture decisions that align technical execution with business goals.
• Empower the development team, create clarity in the architecture decision-making process.

• Strong technical background and proven experience leading architecture or technical direction on complex systems. You don't need the title "Software Architect" already — a senior developer who has grown into this kind of ownership fits just as well.
• Hands-on experience with Java, Angular, Oracle, and PostgreSQL. This is the stack we build on, so you need to be comfortable working in it, not just familiar with the concepts.
• Comfortable diagnosing problems early in a project or in a difficult phase, and setting direction from there.
• Excellent communication skills, including in front of clients. You'll represent the technical side in meetings and help the team make its case clearly.
• Fluency in Estonian and English.

• Experience in a domain where the systems genuinely matter: banking, insurance, telecom, energy, or the public sector. If you've worked somewhere money or critical information moves, you already understand the stakes we're dealing with.
• Curiosity about AI-assisted development. We're not asking for prior AI-first project experience, just an interest in learning it with us.

• We hire people not only for their skills but also for cultural add. We live by our values: commit to delivering value and results, take ownership, empower yourself and others, and own your future and growth. Besides our professionalism, we like to spice things up with good humour.
• At Nortal, we prioritise your growth and development through dedicated self-learning time, mentorship, external and internal training, and a strong 1:1 culture.
• We offer 2-5 extra vacation days per calendar year based on your tenure at Nortal.
• We focus on your well-being, with health insurance and sports initiatives.
• We support your work-life balance and provide flexible working hours.
• Design your workday in a way that suits you best, whether remotely or in the office. We’ll also help cover ergonomic home office costs.
• The Nortal Nomad program gives you the opportunity to spend a shorter period working in another country.
