Job summary

Intertech Türkiye seeks a seasoned Enterprise Architect to lead and grow an architecture function across core banking, integration, and channel platforms. You'll define target state architectures, oversee governance, and ensure alignment with business outcomes in a regulated, high-volume environment.

Join a tech-forward team with global projects, modern Microsoft tech, and opportunities to influence large-scale modernization programs, data strategy, and AI-enabled delivery.

Proven track record delivering large-scale distributed systems on the Microsoft stack (.NET, C#, SQL Server, Oracle) and evolving monolithic systems into service-based architectures.
Deep knowledge of enterprise architecture practice: capability modelling, target state definition, roadmapping, governance and architecture frameworks (TOGAF or equivalent).

Responsibilities

Lead and develop a team of enterprise and solution architects; set standards for how architecture work is done, reviewed and communicated.
Own the enterprise target architecture and the transition roadmap for the core banking, channel and integration landscape, including coexistence of legacy .NET monolith and growing .NET microservices estate.

Steer platform decisions such as data platform strategy, event-driven integration, API management and build-versus-buy evaluations of low-code and vendor platforms.

Job description

What We're Looking For

12+ years in software engineering and architecture, with at least 4 years leading an architecture team or function, ideally in banking or another highly regulated, high-volume domain.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
Proven track record of designing and delivering large-scale distributed systems on the Microsoft stack (.NET, C#, SQL Server, Oracle) and evolving monolithic systems into service-based architectures.
Deep knowledge of enterprise architecture practice: capability modelling, target state definition, roadmapping, governance and architecture frameworks (TOGAF or equivalent).
Strong command of microservices, domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, API design, cloud-native patterns and container platforms (Kubernetes).
Experience running architectural governance bodies and design reviews in an organization with dozens of delivery teams.
Ability to translate between executive, business and engineering audiences; excellent written and spoken English.

What You'll Do

Lead, grow and develop a team of enterprise and solution architects; set standards for how architecture work is done, reviewed and communicated.
Own the enterprise target architecture and the transition roadmap for the core banking, channel and integration landscape, including the coexistence of the legacy .NET monolith and the growing .NET microservices estate.
Chair the Architecture Committee: define architectural principles, reference architectures, guardrails and decision records, and make sure they are applied in delivery rather than filed away.
Provide architectural direction for the bank's business process re-engineering portfolio and major transformation programs, ensuring technology decisions are aligned with business outcomes.
Steer critical platform decisions such as data platform strategy (including the readiness work for a core database migration), event-driven integration, API management and build-versus-buy evaluations of low-code and vendor platforms.
Establish quality gates, non-functional requirements and design review practices that measurably improve reliability, performance and change safety.
Partner with Technology Platforms, Infrastructure, Security and Data teams to translate the architecture roadmap into funded, sequenced initiatives.
Represent architecture in front of executive stakeholders; produce clear options, trade-offs and recommendations for management decisions.
Experience with core banking modernization, database platform migration (SQL Server to Oracle or similar) or payments and channel platforms.
Familiarity with the Turkish banking regulatory environment (BDDK, BKM) and its impact on architecture decisions.
Exposure to generative AI and agentic architectures in enterprise settings and to AI-assisted software delivery.
