- Define API
- You will need to operate in the area of Hardware and Software design, keeping all requirements in terms of performance, security, power budget, and reliability at balance.

The Software Architect that our client wants to meet is socially skilled; a strong communicator who is able to operate independently, as a quartermaster, but also as part of a result driven team. He or she shoes great creativity yet remains focus on challenging but achievable goals. The Software Architect will report directly to the development manager.
Conditions
This freelance/contracting opportunity comes with a 12 month-contract. It is mandatory to work on the client site. This role is not urgent, but there is a need for an extra resource because of the high work load. So we can accept applications from candidates that have a notice period. But the client is picky: they look for highly skilled architects that also know a little about internal politics within large enterprises and how to communicate sensitively within such environments.

Please apply with your up-to-date CV to be considered. An indication of your rate (+ expenses) together with a short motivation is highly appreciated.
