Sr Platform Architect

Join Vanderlande as a Senior Platform Architect – Veghel

As a Senior Platform Architect, you’ll design and define the next generation of Vanderlande’s global logistics systems—focusing on our world-leading warehousing solutions. You’ll turn business goals into technical realities by translating ideas into system requirements and platform architectures.

Your Responsibilities

You’ll own the platform architecture—ensuring new features and pilot deployments fit seamlessly into the overall system. You’ll define architectural principles and guide development teams to apply them consistently.

Acting as a technical leader, you’ll translate business and technology roadmaps into practical evolution steps, identify and mitigate risks, and communicate architecture decisions across teams.

Cybersecurity knowledge and experience with automated logistics systems will help you excel in this role.
