At SOFICO, we’re building the future of mobility through Miles, our market-leading platform for leasing, fleet, and mobility operations worldwide. As an international team, we combine innovation, collaboration, and ownership to deliver real impact for our customers, in a culture of continuous learning, mutual support, and shared success.
SOFICO is investing in the platform behind Miles. We are moving from a model where customers host Miles themselves to one where we run it for them, on SOFICO Cloud: standardized, single-tenant environments in Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Our customers are leasing companies, captive finance companies, and banks. The platform they move onto has to carry their operational demands and the regulatory obligations they work under.
From our Ghent office, As a Cloud (Platform) Architect, you’ll own the architecture and technical direction of SOFICO Cloud and the shared platform underneath Miles. You are the authority on platform infrastructure in two directions. Inside SOFICO, you set the direction our platform and product teams build towards. Outside, you explain and defend that architecture to customers, to their security and risk teams, and to their auditors.
What you’ll do**...**
This is an architecture role with a customer-facing side. You own the answers to our customers' infrastructure questions: what we have built, why we built it that way, and what is coming next.
-
Own the target architecture and roadmap for SOFICO Cloud and the shared platform capabilities Miles product teams build on. You set the architectural direction on both Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
-
Make a fleet of isolated, single-tenant customer environments run like one platform: upgrades that land the same way everywhere, drift you can see and control, observability you can trust, and a cost base that improves as we scale.
-
Make sure moving to SOFICO Cloud takes real work off our customers. The infrastructure, security, resilience and continuity they hand over become ours to run properly.
-
Explain and defend the architecture of SOFICO Cloud to customers and to their security, risk and audit teams, and bring what you learn there back into the roadmap.
-
Define the runtime contract product teams design within: Kubernetes, networking, identity and access management, storage, databases, messaging, observability, and service-to-service communication.
