- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related quantitative field; equivalent work experience accepted.
- Deep hands-on expertise in Java and Spring, distributed microservices, event-driven architecture/Kafka, and design patterns such as DDD, CQRS, and Saga.
- Experience with Kubernetes or OpenShift, cloud-native delivery, CI/CD, observability, and security architecture; banking or other regulated-system requirements are part of the role.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Has led architecture and engineering execution for high-volume, low-latency financial or core banking systems, balancing immediate delivery with long-term platform integrity.
- Can influence technical direction across multiple teams and senior stakeholders while establishing engineering governance and mentoring developers.
- Brings operational ownership across modernization and production resilience, including performance tuning, secure-by-design implementation, and recovery planning.
