• Drive architectural decisions across mobile, web, microservices, data, core systems, and cloud.
• Evaluate and govern solution designs from internal teams and vendors.

End-to-End Delivery Accountability:

• Ensure project success from a technology perspective, covering design, build, test, performance, deployment, and post-go-live stability.
• Lead technical execution, risk mitigation, and issue resolution across multiple workstreams.
• Establish strong governance around architecture gates, code quality, NFR adherence, and platform readiness.

Full-Stack & Cross-Domain Expertise:

• Provide hands-on architectural guidance across the entire stack:
• Mobile apps (iOS/Android/Flutter/React Native)
• API gateway / microservices / event streaming
• Core banking modules (Spaces, pricing, configuration engines)
• Customer 360, CRM platforms, agentic services modules
• Cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines
• Data platforms, real-time analytics, observability tooling
• Lead NFR definition and implementation for security, performance, resilience, cost efficiency, DR/BCM, and maintainability.

Stakeholder Leadership & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Engage and influence diverse stakeholders across business, product, customer fulfillment, compliance, risk, operations, and technology.
• Translate business goals into actionable technology roadmaps.
• Manage vendor partners, ensuring delivery quality and adherence to architecture standards.
• Provide clear line of sight, technical options, and decision frameworks to senior leadership.

Domain & Proposition Understanding

• Deeply understand the end-to-end BBG proposition, journeys, and products.
• Guide business teams on feasibility, dependencies, architectural impacts, and prioritization.
• Ensure the solution delivers customer experience excellence, compliance, and operational readiness.

Data, Analytics & Observability

• Architect event-driven, real-time data capabilities supporting:
• Real-time analytics
• Customer insights
• Rules engines and pricing decisions
• Monitoring & observability (APM, logging, distributed tracing)
• Ensure operational dashboards provide full visibility into system performance, cost, and health.

Minimum requirements:

• 12–18+ years of experience in technology architecture, with at least 5–7 years in senior/lead architecture roles.
• Proven track record leading large-scale digital transformation, ideally in banking/financial services.
• Demonstrated experience modernizing:
• Digital channels (mobile/web)
• API/microservices platforms
• Core banking / core process engines (Finacle Coe stack preferable )
• Data & analytics ecosystems
• Customer 360, CRM, or agentic/AI-driven service modules
• Extensive experience managing NFRs including security, scalability, resilience, performance, observability, cost optimization, and BCM.
• Strong background in cloud-native architectures (AWS/Azure/GCP), containers, orchestration, and DevSecOps.

Technical Skills

• Architecture frameworks (TOGAF, BIAN preferred).
• Microservices & API-led architectures (REST, event-driven).
• Cloud-native platforms (Kubernetes, serverless, container orchestration).
• Data architecture: streaming, batch, real-time analytics, data mesh principles.
• Customer 360, CRM, integration middleware.
• Ability to dive deep into design reviews, code quality checks, and solution validation.
