This is a senior, high-impact role designed for a pragmatic, battle-tested Technical Architect with strong hands-on development experience. You will work amongst the sharpest minds in the financial fraternity to build a next-generation platform vision.

This role requires a hands-on Technical Architect who stays “in the trenches.” The individual will combine the absolute best traits of a technical visionary and an execution-focused leader, bringing the capability to structure robust backend engines while aggressively deep-diving into complex production environments to debug and resolve issues at the highest speed.

## Requirements

Key Responsibilities

### Platform Architecture & Design

Drive, own, and execute multiple next-generation platform initiatives.

Ensure backend architectures are structurally designed for massive scale, extreme availability, and high performance using Java microservices and strict AI and API-first design principles.

### Full-Stack Ecosystem Synchronization

Act as the technical design authority ensuring seamless data flow, state management, and consistency across Java backend services, React Web platforms, and Mobile/POS applications (Android & C++ kernels).

### AI Development & Engineering

Personally lead the hands-on prototyping, design, and integration of AI/ML utilities into core production pipelines (e.g., smart reconciliation engines, fraud pattern recognition, and transaction optimization).

### Production SWAT & Observability

Act as the go-to responder for high-priority production incidents.

Personally drive down MTTR by debugging critical technical issues within a complex stack involving Spring Boot microservices, Docker containers, and AWS environments.

### Best Practices & Quality

Reinforce XP practices such as Test-Driven Development (TDD), refactoring, and clean code.

Devise processes and mechanisms to ensure expected uptime and platform resilience.

### Stakeholder Collaboration

Partner closely with Product Management and clients to scope out releases, translate business goals into technical execution charts, and deliver high-quality outputs on predictable schedules without trading off quality for velocity.

Technical Skills and Experience

### Core Language & Frameworks

Deep hands-on mastery of Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem.

Strong preference for polyglot profiles who can adapt to multi-language requirements.

### Cloud & Orchestration

Strong architecture and implementation experience with AWS services, Docker containerization, and Kubernetes for container orchestration (NLB/ALB, Ingress Controllers).

### Data & Messaging Systems

Expertise in distributed system design using SQL & NoSQL databases (with advanced performance tuning), and messaging fabrics like RabbitMQ & NATS.

### AI / ML Pipeline

Practical proficiency in integrating AI utilities, LLMs, or foundational frameworks into high-throughput backend infrastructure.

### Observability & Infrastructure

Live and breathe automation (CI/CD pipelines).

Practical experience deploying observability frameworks such as Prometheus and Grafana for logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing.

### Client Aware Capabilities

Strong baseline understanding of JavaScript frameworks (React) and Mobile development (Android/iOS) to govern full-stack technical interfaces.

Knowledge of C++ to read or trace low-level POS code is a distinct advantage.
