With over 17,500 experts across 39 countries, we operate with a dynamic and non-hierarchical work culture. We are looking for talented individuals to join our growing team.

Responsibilities

• Understand client business use cases and technical requirements, translating them into elegant technical designs.
• Map decisions to requirements and communicate them effectively to developers.
• Identify and evaluate different solutions to determine the best option meeting client requirements.
• Own the solution architecture for the Deposits Modernization Program (CASA/Time Deposit scope), ensuring alignment between business and non-functional requirements across applications, integrations, environments, and security controls.
• Collaborate with Build, Integration, Data Migration, Testing, and Operations teams (including vendor architects) to ensure the delivered solution adheres to architecture standards, is scalable, secure, and supportable.
• Translate business requirements into solution architecture, encompassing application components, integration patterns, data flows, and operational considerations.
• Define and maintain key architecture artifacts, including target architecture, HLD/SAD, logical interface designs, data flow diagrams, deployment views, and architecture decision records.
• Define and govern non-functional requirements (performance, availability, resiliency, security, DR, observability, maintainability) and ensure their integration into the design.
• Drive fit-gap analysis at the solution level, proposing pragmatic design options and alternatives with clear trade-offs (cost, timeline, risk, operability).
• Support environment planning and release readiness by defining deployment architecture, environment configuration needs, and integration connectivity early.
• Participate in test strategy and design from an architectural perspective (SIT/UAT, performance testing, DR testing) and support defect triage for design-related issues.
• Develop and design the overall solution for defined functional and non-functional requirements, specifying technologies, patterns, and frameworks.
• Understand and apply technology integration scenarios.
• Resolve issues raised during code reviews through exhaustive root cause analysis and justified decision-making.
• Conduct Proofs of Concept (POCs) to validate suggested designs and technologies.

Requirements

• Total experience: 9+ years.
• Experience in solution architecture / systems design for banking or financial services programs: 5-8 years.
• Proven experience with core banking / deposits platforms (CASA/TD) and complex integration landscapes preferred.
• Hands-on experience with deposit management platforms like Finacle.
• Experience working across multi-stakeholder teams.
• Strong banking domain understanding, including deposit lifecycle, product parameters, interest, fees, and accounting impacts.
• Ability to translate requirements into implementable architecture and produce clear design documentation.
• Experience leading solution design workshops with vendors and stakeholders, reviewing vendor design deliverables, and ensuring alignment with project standards and scope.
• Ability to coordinate architecture dependencies across channels, surrounding systems, and enabling capabilities (IAM, logging/monitoring, middleware/API gateway, batch scheduling).
• Ability to provide design guidance to Build and Integration teams, ensuring functional requirements are implementable and traceable to design and test coverage.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Willingness to relocate to the Philippines for the long term.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
