Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced Solution Architect to design and govern scalable, secure, and high-performing enterprise application solutions within the banking domain. The ideal candidate will be responsible for driving end-to-end solution architecture, ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture standards, business goals, and technology strategy while enabling modernization and innovation across banking platforms.

Job Responsibility:

Solution Architecture & Design: Design end-to-end solution architectures for enterprise and banking applications aligned with business and technology objectives. Review High-Level Designs (HLDs) and Low-Level Designs (LLDs) with a focus on scalability, modularity, maintainability, and performance. Translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and modular technical solutions. Create architecture artifacts including solution blueprints, sequence diagrams, data flow diagrams, deployment diagrams, integration designs, and interface contracts. Evaluate and recommend appropriate architecture patterns, platforms, frameworks, and tools for new and existing systems. Define and promote reference architectures across domains including core banking, lending, payments, CRM, ERP, and risk management systems
Architecture Governance & Standards: Represent the application architecture domain in architecture governance forums and design authority reviews. Ensure compliance with enterprise architecture principles, standards, and target-state blueprints. Enforce consistency in technology stacks, frameworks, integration standards, and design patterns across applications. Capture and document key architecture decisions, risks, and recommendations during design discussions and governance reviews. Assess the impact of proposed changes on existing systems, infrastructure, and enterprise architecture landscapes
Modernization & Engineering Best Practices: Guide teams in modernizing legacy applications into microservices-based and cloud-native architectures. Recommend and implement best practices for: Microservices and multi-tier architectures API-first and event-driven architectures Containerized and cloud-native applications Secure transaction handling and session management Caching, resiliency, and fault tolerance mechanisms. Drive adoption of modern engineering practices including DevSecOps, CI/CD, API gateways, and serverless computing. Support Proof of Concept (PoC) initiatives for emerging technologies and solution approaches
Security, Compliance & Resilience: Collaborate with security teams to embed security-by-design principles into application architectures. Ensure application solutions comply with security and regulatory standards including GDPR, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and Central Bank guidelines. Address architecture concerns related to authentication, authorization, encryption, identity management, and data privacy. Identify architectural and security risks early and define mitigation strategies. Ensure solutions are designed for high availability, disaster recovery, scalability, resilience, and operational continuity. Validate non-functional requirements including performance, reliability, concurrency, and throughput SLAs
Collaboration & Stakeholder Management: Partner closely with business teams, developers, infrastructure teams, DevOps engineers, and program managers to deliver enterprise solutions. Act as a trusted advisor for architecture-related decisions across programs and initiatives. Present architecture proposals, recommendations, and review outcomes to governance boards and executive stakeholders. Ensure solutions support interoperability, reusability, and agility across enterprise platforms and digital channels
