Solution Architect

The candidate will architect, design, and deliver advanced digital solutions for enterprise banking clients, focusing on React, open-source Java, and iOS technologies. This role involves shaping client application architectures, integrating Gen AI/Agentic AI, and leading end-to-end pre-sales and solutioning in collaboration with technology practices.

Solution & Enterprise Architecture

• Analyze and document client enterprise architectures, tech stacks, and integration patterns for digital banking and payments.
• Define target state architectures, reference models, and solution blueprints for complex transformation initiatives.
• Lead architecture governance to ensure compliance, scalability, security, and alignment with enterprise standards.
• Validate solution architectures spanning web, mobile, AI, integration, and data domains.

Technology Leadership

• Architect full-stack solutions using React (front end), open-source Java (back end), and iOS (mobile).
• Select frameworks, libraries, and tools for scalable, maintainable, and high-performing solutions.
• Drive adoption of modern engineering practices: modular design, microservices, API-first, automated testing, CI/CD.
• Mentor engineering teams on advanced technical topics and architectural best practices.

Gen AI / Agentic AI Integration

• Identify opportunities for Gen AI/Agentic AI adoption in digital banking and payments.
• Architect and integrate AI components into enterprise solutions, ensuring responsible AI practices and business value.

Pre-Sales & Solution Shaping

• Lead technical discovery, architecture workshops, and solution presentations with clients and stakeholders.
• Develop solution proposals, technical architectures, and effort estimates for RFPs and pre-sales engagements.
• Collaborate with technology practice leads to leverage reusable assets, accelerators, and best practices.

Stakeholder Engagement & Delivery

• Engage with client architects, business leaders, and delivery teams to ensure solution alignment and execution.
• Support delivery teams in resolving complex technical challenges and maintaining architectural integrity throughout the project lifecycle.

• Digital Channels: Experience designing and delivering solutions for digital banking channels such as internet banking, mobile banking, payments platforms, and customer onboarding.
• Banking Domain: Deep understanding of banking processes, payments, digital transformation, and regulatory/compliance requirements.
• Front End: Expertise in React, including hooks, state management, component architecture, and performance optimization.
• Back End: Strong experience with open-source Java frameworks (Spring Boot, REST APIs, microservices, security).
• Mobile: Hands-on experience with iOS development (Swift/Objective-C); familiarity with cross-platform frameworks like React Native or Flutter is a plus.
• Integration: Experience with API design, integration patterns (REST, GraphQL, messaging), middleware, and connecting with core banking/payment systems.
• Architecture: Proficiency in enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman), UML, and architecture modeling tools.
• Gen AI / Agentic AI: Practical experience integrating Gen AI/Agentic AI solutions into enterprise applications.
• DevOps: Familiarity with CI/CD, automated testing, and modern software engineering practices (not cloud-specific).

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience in large-scale digital transformation, preferably in banking or financial services.
• Ability to work in agile, cross-functional teams and manage multiple stakeholders.
• Exposure to security, compliance, and data privacy in enterprise environments.
