Should have proven experience on core banking / deposits platforms (CASA/TD) and complex integration landscapes preferred. Must have hands-on experience with deposit management platforms like Finacle . Must have experience working across multi-stakeholder teams. Should have banking domain understanding: deposits lifecycle, product parameters, interest, fees, accounting impacts, etc. Should have strong ability to translate requirements into an implementable architecture and produce clear design documentation. Should be able to lead solution design workshops with vendor and stakeholders; review vendor design deliverables and ensure alignment to project standards and agreed scope. Should be able to coordinate architecture dependencies across channels, surrounding systems, and enabling capabilities (IAM, logging/monitoring, middleware/API gateway, batch scheduling). Should be able to provide design guidance to Build and Integration teams; ensure functional requirements are implementable and traceable to design and test coverage. Must have excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. Should be ready to relocate to philippines for long term. RESPONSIBILITIES: Understanding the client’s business use cases and technical requirements and be able to convert them into technical design which elegantly meets the requirements. Mapping decisions with requirements and be able to translate the same to developers. Identifying different solutions and being able to narrow down the best option that meets the client’s requirements. Own the solution architecture for the Deposits Modernization Program (CASA/Time Deposit scope), ensuring business requirements and non-functional requirements are translated into a cohesive target solution across applications, integrations, environments, and security controls. Experience with Build, Integration, Data Migration, Testing, and Operations teams (and vendor architects) to ensure the delivered solution is consistent with project architecture standards, scalable, secure, and supportable. Translate business requirements into solution architecture covering application components, integration patterns, data flows, and operational considerations. Define and maintain key architecture artifacts: target architecture, HLD/SAD, interface designs (logical), data flow diagrams, deployment view, and architecture decision records. Define and govern non-functional requirements (performance, availability, resiliency, security, DR, observability, maintainability) and ensure they are built into the design. Drive fit-gap at solution level and propose pragmatic design options/alternatives with clear trade-offs (cost, timeline, risk, operability). Support environment planning and release readiness: ensure deployment architecture, environment configuration needs, and integration connectivity are defined early. Participate in test strategy/design from an architecture lens (SIT/UAT, performance testing, DR testing); support defect triage for design-related issues.. Developing and designing the overall solution for defined functional and non-functional requirements; and defining technologies, patterns, and frameworks to materialize it Understanding and relating technology integration scenarios and applying these learnings in projects Resolving issues that are raised during code/review, through exhaustive systematic analysis of the root cause, and being able to justify the decision taken. Carrying out POCs to make sure that suggested design/technologies meet the requirements. Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
