Job description

We are seeking experienced Senior Java Software Engineer who can independently lead end-to-end implementation of enterprise-scale risk platforms for banking clients.

This role requires a hands-on leader who combines solution architecture capability, strong delivery governance, and customer-facing leadership to drive successful project execution from pre-sales through go-live and stabilization.

You are expected to own the technical delivery outcome, not just coordinate—covering solution design, integration architecture, implementation strategy, and production readiness.

Key Responsibilities

1. End-to-End Technical Delivery Ownership
   • Act as the technical authority for customer projects, ensuring scalable and production-ready solutions
   • Drive on-time, on-quality delivery under complex, multi-stakeholder environments (client IT, vendors, partners)
   • Translate business requirements into end-to-end technical solutions
     • Risk decision engines and rule systems
     • Data integration (batch/real-time APIs, streaming)
   • Define high availability, performance, and security architecture aligned with banking standards
   • Lead integration with client systems: core banking, LOS, payment systems, data platforms
   • Define data models, API contracts, and system interaction patterns
   • Guide teams on customization vs. standard product usage, ensuring maintainability and scalability
   • Act as primary technical interface to client architects, CIO teams, and delivery partners
   • Drive technical workshops, architecture reviews, and design approvals
   • Manage expectations and resolve complex technical escalations
2. Delivery Governance & Risk Control
   • Establish delivery plans, milestones, and technical checkpoints
   • Identify and mitigate risks in performance, scalability, and integration complexity
   • Ensure production readiness, including deployment, rollback, monitoring, and support handover
   • Support stabilization phase and critical issue resolution
   • Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and system optimization
   • Contribute to delivery best practices, reusable architectures, and standardization

Required Qualifications

Experience

• 8-15+ years in enterprise software delivery / system integration
• Proven experience delivering banking or financial systems (risk, fraud, credit, payments, or core systems)
• Demonstrated ability to lead large-scale implementation projects independently

Technical Expertise

Strong architecture experience in:

• Distributed systems and microservices

Familiar with technologies such as:

• Relational & NoSQL databases
• Cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and on-prem deployments

Solid understanding of:

• System integration patterns
• High availability & scalability design
• Security and compliance in banking environments

Delivery & Leadership

• Strong project execution capability with clear ownership mindset
• Ability to manage cross-functional and cross-cultural teams
• Excellent problem-solving and escalation handling skills

Communication

• Ability to engage with senior stakeholders (Architects, CIO, CTO)
• Fluent in English (additional local language is a plus)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in risk control, anti-fraud, or decision engine platforms
• Background in consulting firms or SI companies
• Familiarity with regulatory and compliance requirements in Southeast Asia banking
• Experience working in multi-country delivery environments

What Success Looks Like

• Able to independently lead a project from kickoff to go-live within 3 months
• Deliver production-stable systems with minimal post-go-live incidents
• Build strong technical trust with client stakeholders
• Balance standard product adoption vs. customization effectively

Why Join Us

• Be part of a fast-growing international expansion in fintech risk solutions
• Work on high-impact banking transformation projects across Southeast Asia
• Opportunity to shape delivery standards and architecture practices globally
• Competitive compensation and career growth in a high-demand domain
