WPF Modernisation Architect

Job Title: WPF Modernization Architect 

Your Role:

• Own architecture and hands-on development of the WPF toolkit (controls, styles/templates, theming/tokens, patterns, documentation, samples). 

• Drive simplicity, maintainability, performance, and accessibility, operating within a QMS environment. 

• Drive AI-assisted development and migration strategies: leverage agentic workflows, code generation tools, and automation to accelerate adoption of the design system across products.

• Act as backlog owner: gather requirements from Philips businesses, define epics/stories and acceptance criteria, estimate, prioritize, and plan releases. 

• Define toolkit roadmap, versioning and release strategy, deprecation/migration guidance, and adoption documentation. 

• Establish engineering standards: code reviews, static/dynamic analysis, automated testing strategy, CI/CD quality gates, and release readiness. 

• Lead customer-facing enablement: run onboarding sessions, office hours, trainings, and create guidance that helps teams successfully adopt the library. 

• Partner with designers for strong design-to-code fidelity and align with web/mobile counterparts to maintain cross-platform consistency. 

You're the right fit if: 

• You have Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science Engineering or equivalent with 12+ years of experience in software engineering.

• ​Strong expertise in .NET/WPF and UI architecture, with a broad understanding of modern frontend technologies and patterns.

• Expert-level software design/implementation skills; able to make and defend architectural choices and tradeoffs. 

• Strong stakeholder management skills: comfortable working with multiple business units as “customers,” aligning priorities, and driving adoption. 

• Able to translate customer needs into a prioritized backlog and deliver predictable, high-quality releases. 

• Proficiency with static and dynamic code analysis tools and high engineering-quality standards.

• Acts as a force multiplier by reducing manual integration effort through tooling, automation, and scalable patterns.
