• Around 10+ years of technical seniority; background as Software/Solution Architect or equivalent.
• Experience designing or auditing large business systems, with the ability to evaluate architectural trade-offs in React, PHP, and Python.
• Practical experience in code review, technical due diligence, or accepting systems built by other teams.
• Documented experience with systems involving many APIs and integrations with external services.
• Experience with data migrations, legacy systems, poor data quality, and archiving.
• Understanding of CI/CD, environments, backups, observability, and basic cloud/infrastructure concepts.
• Good understanding of application security, authorization, access control, and data protection, and ability to identify areas requiring a specialist audit or pentest.
• Experience assessing system transferability, documentation, repository setup, and vendor dependency.
• No financial or operational relationship with the vendor; willingness to challenge the vendor's recommendations.

Nice to have:

• Travel-tech, booking systems, hospitality, marketplace, e-commerce, or B2B/B2C platform background.
• Experience with systems involving complex pricing rules, contracts, and a high number of integrations.
• Practice reviewing systems built by external software houses.
• Experience providing technical support during software development contract negotiations.
• Good communication skills in English or German.

• Review the proposed architecture for fit with business scale and MVP timeline, and flag unnecessary complexity or technical debt.
• Assess the data model, module boundaries, and placement of business logic.
• Assess the integration and data migration strategy from the legacy system.
• Agree on minimum standards for security, testing, logging, monitoring, and documentation.
• Review repository structure and access rules; require work via feature branches, pull requests, and code review rather than direct changes to the production branch.
• Periodically review the quality of key code and compliance with agreed standards.
• Assess automated testing, CI/CD process, deployment approach, rollback, and change control.
• Check that technical documentation is produced continuously, not only at the end of the project.
• Assess APIs, synchronization, error handling, retries, message queues, versioning, and integration monitoring.
• Assess system resilience to external partner outages and data errors.
• Assess the migration strategy: export, cleanup, deduplication, partial migration, archiving, and validation.
• Check whether another vendor could take over development without unjustified lock-in to the current one.
• Assess documentation of APIs, infrastructure, configuration, dependencies, and deployment scripts.
• Provide a technical assessment of third-party components and licenses.
• Document risks and recommendations in writing.
