Solution Architect / Risinājumu arhitekts(-e) – Delivery Excellence Team | SEB, Riga

SEB is a leading financial services group and one of the largest IT employers in the Nordics and Baltics. As the banking industry evolves and regulatory expectations increase, building secure, resilient, and high-quality digital solutions at scale is critical to our long-term success.

Our Product Development and Technology organization plays a key role in ensuring that innovation, compliance, and engineering excellence move forward together. We are strengthening our Delivery Excellence capability to continuously improve how software is designed, built, tested, secured, and operated across SEB.

Does this sound like the right next step for you?

About The Team And Role

We are looking for a Solution Architect to join the Delivery Excellence team and shape how software is designed, built, tested, secured, and operated across the organization.

In this role, you will operate across tribes and delivery teams, providing leadership on software engineering standards, delivery practices, and secure development. You will work at an organizational level to define guardrails, align ways of working, and ensure regulatory and risk requirements are embedded into everyday engineering execution.

Rather than focusing on a single solution or team, your impact will span the broader delivery ecosystem - driving continuous improvement in quality, predictability, resilience, and maintainability across both legacy and modern systems.

What We Expect

• Deep understanding of modern software delivery practices, including DevOps, secure-by-design, and automation strategies

• Strong stakeholder management, communication skills, and a pragmatic mindset

• Proven ability to influence engineering standards and ways of working across multiple teams
• Ability to balance organizational guardrails with team autonomy
• Fluency in English, as you will be working with colleagues across Baltic countries.
