Job description

Job Description

Role Purpose

We are looking for an Integration SME to support a core banking transformation program for a client based in the

Philippines. Unlike the module-specific SME roles, this position owns integration design end-to-end across all core

banking domains — Payments, Trade Finance, Lending, GL, and Markets — ensuring a coherent, well-documented

integration architecture between the core banking platform and its upstream/downstream ecosystem.

This is a core banking implementation role. The candidate must have hands-on, end-to-end experience delivering core

banking transformation programs (not advisory-only exposure), and must be comfortable working directly with product

vendors to challenge, validate, and finalize the To-Be system design.

The candidate should be able to work across product SMEs, business stakeholders, the Solution Architecture team,

and platform vendors to design, document, and obtain sign-off on integration solutions, and should be comfortable

being the cross-domain integration authority on the program.

Key Responsibilities

MULTIVENDOR, MULTI-COUNTRY TEAM

• Act as the subject matter expert for cross-domain integration architecture during requirement analysis, solution design, build, testing, and cutover phases.
• Engage directly with product vendors and product SMEs (Trade, ACBS, CASA/Common Services, Payments, Murex) to align on integration touchpoints and drive decisions on the To-Be integration design.
• Lead workshops with business stakeholders, interface teams, the Solution Architecture team, and platform vendors to gather, validate, and finalize integration requirements.
• Own preparation of Interface Specification Documents (ISDs) and integration architecture artifacts, and drive review and sign-off with all upstream and downstream teams.
• Coordinate integration testing (SIT/end-to-end) across domains, triage cross-system defects, and drive resolution with vendors and delivery teams.
• Support cutover planning and hypercare across all integrated domains through go-live.
• Manage stakeholders across business, technology, and vendor teams, and proactively elevate cross-domain integration risks and issues.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of overall IT experience, with substantial hands‑on experience designing integration architecture in core banking transformation programs.
• Demonstrated experience integrating core banking with Payments, Trade Finance, Lending, GL, and Treasury/Markets systems (e.g., Murex).
• Experience with middleware/integration layers such as ESB, API Gateway, or iPaaS platforms.
• Experience developing source‑to‑target data mapping and transformation logic across multiple domains.
• Experience supporting SIT/end-to-end testing, and troubleshooting integration defects across systems.
• Working knowledge of security and compliance requirements for banking/payment integrations (e.g., OAuth2, SSL, regulatory compliance).
• Proven experience working as an individual contributor who can independently drive solutioning, documentation, and approvals across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting cross‑domain integration solutions to senior stakeholders and vendors.
• Should be in the Philippines for entire duration of the project.

Good to Have

• Prior experience as a techno‑functional integration lead spanning core banking plus payments/trade/lending domains.
• Exposure to treasury/markets integration (e.g., Murex) for trades, risk, and P&L feeds.
• Experience monitoring integration SLAs, throughput, and latency in a production banking environment
