Pega Lead System Architect (LSA) / Senior System Architect (SSA) – German Speaking – HybridLocation: Germany (also post a second copy with the location set to Austria)Workplace type: Remote Pega Lead System Architect (LSA) / Pega Senior System Architect (SSA) – Germany & Austria – Agentic AI & Latest Pega Infinity Are you a Pega Senior System Architect who wants a real route to Lead System Architect? Or an LSA who wants more than one client and one version of Pega for the next three years? I'm working exclusively with a premium technology and management consultancy in the DACH region to hire Pega SSAs and LSAs across Germany and Austria. It's an established firm that still moves at start-up speed. It works for top-tier clients in financial services, insurance, automotive and the public sector, and its Pega practice is growing. Why this role stands out Real project variety. Many Pega consultancies keep you on one to three clients. Here you'll work on major programmes across several industries. You'll see different architectures and different Pega versions, and work across the whole stack instead of one layer. The latest Pega, including AI. Projects run on the newest Pega Infinity releases, including Pega GenAI / Agentic AI, automation and custom builds on the platform. You'll get inside the "black box" of the newest models and installations. A clear path from SSA to LSA. There are no promotion quotas. If you're ready, you move up. They actively fund your LSA certification and development with a dedicated budget, and SSA to LSA can happen in around six months for the right person. LSA is not the ceiling. Lead System Architects here have gone on to become Partners. Continuous Pega training. There's regular training on new Pega capabilities for every level, plus a dedicated AI training week on Pega's AI features, such as moving test automation into AI.
