With experience in a similar architecture and engineering leadership role, you will have an agile mindset and an impressive track record in building customer-focused software solutions. To be successful, you should be a bold, collaborative, and empathetic architect with a strong commercial focus and a continuous learning mindset. You will engage with business heads to understand and influence strategy while actively keeping your knowledge of emerging technologies and wealth/advice industry trends up to date.

• Proven software engineering experience in designing, implementing, and managing digital omni-channel financial service solutions.
• Deeply conversant with cloud-native applications, modern integrations strategies( and their implications) and experience in optimising/refactoring technology platforms.
• A critical thinker with a solid understanding of how to build scalable, maintainable, and high-performance platforms.
• Relevant experience leading software implementation and a solid understanding of how to drive modern engineering practices while fostering collaboration.
• The ability to articulate complex technical problems and their solutions simply to senior product and technology stakeholders across the organisation.
• Ability to understand and anticipate business needs to provide appropriate architecture guidance and participate in the architecture assurance of solution designs in your domain.
• Knowledge of solution and data architecture frameworks, modelling tools, and data security principles relevant to the financial services and payments industry.
• A desire to contribute to a strong architecture community and actively participate in the improvement of the broader architecture practice.
• A Financial Services or FinTech background is highly desirable; however, we are open to candidates from other sectors with strong experience in building transactional, high-volume platforms.
