The role

A solution architect at a banking technology company designs Java and Spring Boot integrations across core banking, APIs, Kafka event platforms, data, and cloud services, and leads enterprise architecture workshops and distributed-system delivery. Customer-facing consulting and PostgreSQL support implementation patterns, resilience, scalability, and mission-critical production problem solving.

Full job description

We are looking for technical leaders who want to solve enterprise problems, not simply write code. You will work directly with the technology organisations of major banks to design and deliver how the company fits into highly complex banking ecosystems. The role combines solution architecture, engineering depth, consulting and client leadership. You should be equally credible discussing architecture with a bank CTO organisation and working with engineers to resolve a difficult integration problem.

Responsibilities:

Lead technical solution design for complex company implementations.

Translate banking and business requirements into robust technical architectures.

Design integrations across core banking, APIs, event platforms, data and cloud services.

Lead technical workshops and architecture/design reviews with clients.

Build and guide implementation using Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, Kafka and PostgreSQL.

Advise clients on integration patterns, scalability, resilience and cloud architecture.

Troubleshoot complex distributed-system and production issues.

Partner with the Company's Product, Architecture and Engineering teams.

Identify reusable implementation patterns and accelerators.

Mentor technical consultants and raise engineering standards across Customer Enablement.

Requirements:

You should bring: deep Java/Spring Boot engineering capability; REST/API architecture; Kafka/event-driven architecture; relational/data architecture; Azure or comparable cloud experience; Docker/Kubernetes and modern CI/CD; enterprise integration patterns; experience with distributed, mission-critical systems; and strong customer-facing consulting ability.

Banking technology experience is strongly preferred.

We value candidates with strong Computer Science/Engineering foundations from highly regarded institutions, but demonstrable technical excellence and architecture leadership remain the primary bar.
