• Proven experience architecting solutions for financial services clients (banking, capital markets, insurance, asset management, or payments).
• Hands-on experience with RESTful API design, event-driven architecture (Kafka, RabbitMQ), and integration patterns.
• Strong background in relational and NoSQL databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra).
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Solid understanding of DevOps practices, CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps), and infrastructure-as-code.

• Strong knowledge of security best practices, including OAuth2/OIDC, encryption standards, and secure coding practices relevant to financial systems.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and presentation skills.
• Ability to travel to client sites as needed.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end solution architecture for full stack Java applications, from requirements through design, development, deployment, and production support.
• Lead technical design sessions with client stakeholders, translating complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Define and enforce architecture standards, design patterns, coding guidelines, and technology roadmaps across engagement teams.
• Architect solutions for high-availability, high-throughput, and low-latency systems, with attention to financial services requirements.
• Guide cloud migration and modernization initiatives (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) and CI/CD pipeline design.
• Conduct architecture reviews, code reviews, and performance tuning; identify and remediate technical debt and scalability bottlenecks.
• Mentor and provide technical direction to development teams, including onshore/offshore delivery pods.
• Partner with client CTOs, enterprise architects, and business sponsors to shape technology strategy and roadmaps.
• Support presales activities: solution estimation, RFP responses, proof-of-concept development, and technical presentations to prospective clients.
