Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Serve as a technical leader designing large-scale, distributed, event-driven systems and AI-powered capabilities across multiple business domains. Define engineering standards and architecture frameworks while coaching engineers to raise the overall technical bar.
Requires over 12 years of hands-on software engineering experience with deep expertise in cloud-native architectures and distributed systems. Must have proven experience implementing AI/ML workflows and leading multiple engineering teams through organizational transformation.
With over 1,300 stores in 17 European countries and more than 25,000 employees, C&A is one of Europe’s leading fashion retailers. Every day, C&A welcomes millions of visitors to its stores in Europe and to its online shop. C&A offers quality and long-lasting fashion at affordable prices for the many. We are building on more than 180 years of experience in the fashion industry and continuously modernize the company to become an omnichannel fashion retailer.
At C&A we are driven by our values and we believe that affordable and high-quality fashion is not contradictory to caring for people & the planet, we are always forward thinking and acting to develop our business and innovate the industry. This is your chance to join the C&A team as Principal Engineer!
At C&A, Principal Engineers are hands-on technical leaders and system thinkers who solve our most complex problems and drive our technology strategy. As our most senior individual contributors, Principal Engineers define the architecture, engineering practices, and technical direction that power C&A’s transformation to a modern, high-velocity platform ecosystem. You will work across domains (Consumer, Merchandising, Supply Chain, Data) to build scalable, reliable, event-driven systems, and AI-powered capabilities, enabling teams to deliver business value faster. This role replaces traditional architecture layers with a small, high-impact group of engineers who are embedded in teams, close to the code, and accountable for real outcomes.
• Serve as a technical leader on the most complex, cross-domain initiatives
• Define and drive system architecture and engineering standards across C&A
• Design and build large-scale, distributed, event-driven systems
• Design and implement AI agent workflows and intelligent systems, including orchestration, tool usage, and evaluation patterns
• Establish best practices for AI-enabled development (agent design, guardrails, observability, prompt/version management)
• Ensure systems meet reliability, scalability, security, and cost requirements
• Lead cross-domain design decisions and define the Architecture Design Framework(RFCs, ADRs etc)
• Influence multiple teams by coaching engineers and raising the engineering bar
• Establish and evolve best practices (DevOps, SRE, observability, data platforms, AI)
• Partner with product and business teams to align technology with outcomes
• 12+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
• Experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems
• Strong expertise in system design, scalability, and cloud-native architectures
• Experience designing or implementing AI/ML systems or AI agent workflows
• Proven ability to lead and influence multiple engineering teams
• Experience with event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka)
• Experience building AI agents, copilots, or workflow automation systems
• Knowledge of data platforms, SAP ecosystems, or retail/supply chain systems
• Experience driving architecture and organizational transformation
• Strong understanding of Domain-Driven Design and platform engineering
Leadership Expectations
• A builder (hands-on, close to the code)
• A technical leader (sets direction and standards, coaches engineers)
• A multiplier (raises the bar across teams)
• A pragmatic decision-maker (balances speed, quality, and cost)
This is an opportunity for you to join us on a truly exciting transformation journey, where you’ll be able to leave footprints that last and contribute significantly to our vision.

Icon in fashion retail. Making high quality fashion accessible to the many. Inspiring you to look, feel and do good!
Ever since our founding by the brothers Clemens and August in 1841, C&A has been at the forefront of fashion. From making 'ready-to-wear' a thing when custom-made was the norm, to popularising miniskirts in the 60s, introducing the Com-bi-kini in the 70s, Bio Cotton in early 2000 and the first Cradle-to-Cradle Gold certified garment (www.c-a.com/c2c) in 2017 - we have always evolved with the times, making stylish and quality clothes possible for everyone. And while C&A and the world around us has changed over the decades, one thing has remained the same: our dedication to offering sustainable and quality fashion for the entire family. Each day we welcome millions of visitors in about 1300 stores across 17 European countries. C&A is one of the most enduring and pioneering retailer brands in global apparel. That is because, for us the future is not tomorrow, or next quarter. We think in generations. This also means that we aspire for a future fashion industry that is more innovative and sustainable; one that has moved towards a circular future, and promotes a cycle of use, reuse and rebirth of clothing. That future will be possible because of our remarkable colleagues. From customer friendly Sales Associates to stylish Designers and expert Merchandise Planners – we all share a common passion and respect for our customers, our planet and each other.
