Your role at ACA

Your role within ACA

As our .NET Architect & Competence Center Lead, you are the driving force behind our .NET software factory. You combine a clear vision with a hands-on mentality. Your mission is fourfold: you build a close-knit and talented team, you define and guard the technological standards, you ensure the flawless delivery of projects, and you play a key role in winning new business by leveraging your technical expertise during the sales process.

Your vision for our .NET Software Factory

You thrive in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment where you can contribute to finding new technical solutions. You combine your in-depth development expertise with a clear architectural vision. You are not just a developer; you are the technical leader who inspires the teams and sets the course. You take responsibility, guiding and inspiring your teams through new and challenging projects. As the CC Lead, you are the strategic technical partner in the pre-sales process. You translate the needs of potential clients into feasible, high-quality, and future-proof .NET solutions, ensuring that projects are built on a solid technical foundation right from the quotation stage.
