Ideal Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate will combine strong hands-on OutSystems expertise with enterprise architecture and delivery leadership. This person should be capable of taking ownership from initial discovery and project setup through solution architecture, application delivery, integrations, governance, release, and production support.
They should also be capable of establishing enterprise development standards, mentoring large teams, communicating directly with senior stakeholders, and driving low-code transformation programs involving multiple applications and business groups.
Recommended market-facing title: Senior OutSystems Solution Architect / Low-Code CoE Architect
For a role modeled very closely on this profile, I would set the requirement at 12–15+ years overall experience with 7–8+ years of OutSystems experience, rather than making 15 years overall mandatory. This keeps the candidate pool practical while preserving the seniority reflected in the resume.
