Solution Architect Infrastructure as Code

Drive infrastructure automation for a global bank by shaping scalable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platforms used by 45–50 engineers and supporting standardized services for thousands of changes annually.

Solution Architect Infrastructure as Code

You & your role

Design and evolve the architectural direction of Infrastructure as Code by applying software‑engineering principles to infrastructure automation. As Solution Architect Infrastructure as Code, you translate strategic goals into pragmatic architectures that enable scalable, auditable, and fully automated infrastructure services.

You work closely with engineers, architects, and product stakeholders to break down complexity and deliver solutions that balance long‑term vision with incremental progress.

Examples from practice

• Designing layered abstraction models that reduce vendor lock‑in while supporting multiple infrastructure platforms.
• Guiding squads in adopting software‑engineering standards such as testing, pipelines, and API‑first design for infrastructure automation.
• Introducing Generative AI use cases to improve automated change flows and developer productivity.

Facts & figures

• You work in an IaC area with 45–50 colleagues within a technology tribe of nearly 400 professionals.
• Over 48,000 Rabobank colleagues worldwide.

Top 3 responsibilities

• Translate strategic software‑engineering and automation goals into architectural patterns, guardrails, and reusable building blocks aligned with enterprise architecture.
• Design scalable Infrastructure as Code frameworks using SDLC principles, layered abstractions, and testing strategies that support secure and auditable change flows.
• Integrate Agentic and Generative AI capabilities into engineering processes to improve automation efficiency and enable new internal use cases.

You shape the architectural “spot on the horizon” while enabling teams to deliver step by step, keeping solutions evolvable and resilient in complex environments.

Together we achieve more than alone

You will join Tribe Foundation4Tech, where collaboration, simplification, and automation are central.

We are moving toward a world where automation is the default and exceptions are rare, enabling engineers to deliver with high speed and confidence.

Max Nuij Area Lead & Senior Tech Lead Infrastructure as Code.

The teams within Foundation4Tech enable standardized, automated infrastructure services worldwide. Collaboration is our way of working; as one solution‑oriented and technically driven team within Rabobank. You work closely across squads and disciplines to deliver sustainable infrastructure automation.

Work on yourself & the world around you

For us, your development and that of society go hand in hand. That is why we invest in you while working together on a better world. At Rabobank, you work on yourself and the world around you simultaneously.

This is reflected in your personal development budget, our hybrid work environment, and a healthy work‑life balance. You also contribute to banking solutions that support both clients and societal transitions such as food, climate, and energy.

You & your talent

• Academic working and thinking level with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant technical field.
• Strong foundation in software engineering (e.g., Java, .NET, design patterns, testing, pipelines, API design).
• Experience with CI/CD, automation frameworks, and SDLC principles.
• Affinity with IaC tooling (Terraform, Ansible) and infrastructure components.
• Affinity with (IaaS/PaaS) cloud way of working to show that we really intend to become more “cloud like” with our on premises services.
• Experience designing scalable automation frameworks, patterns, or platform capabilities in complex environments.
• Understanding of security, compliance, auditability, and automated control implementation.
• Experience with (or strong interest in) Agentic/Generative AI capabilities and applying them in engineering contexts.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in complex, multidisciplinary environments.
