Responsibilities:
- Own end-to-end application architecture — design, integration patterns, deployment topology, scalability, resiliency, and security.
- Define architecture blueprints, reference patterns, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for enterprise applications.
- Design integration architecture across core banking systems, data platforms, and downstream applications (APIs, event streams, batch).
- Architect data movement using Snowflake native components (Snowpark, Snowpipe, Streams & Tasks, Dynamic Tables) and dbt for transformations.
- Design Kafka-based real-time and event-driven integration patterns.
- Architect application and integration solutions on AWS (S3, Lambda, Glue, MSK, IAM, API Gateway).
- Architect RAG-based pipelines (retrieval strategy, vector store integration, LLM API integration) and design patterns for agentic workflows (tool-calling, orchestration, human-in-the-loop).
- Lead architecture reviews, enforce standards, and mentor engineering teams on design best practices.
- Maintain architecture documentation (system diagrams, data flows, sequence diagrams) and present designs to technical and business stakeholders.
- Ensure solutions align with banking regulatory and security requirements.
Requirements:
- 10+ years in application/solution architecture, preferably in financial services.
- Strong experience with Snowflake (Snowpark, Snowpipe, Streams/Tasks) and dbt.
- Hands-on experience with Kafka integration architecture.
- Strong working knowledge of AWS (S3, Lambda, Glue, MSK, IAM).
- Experience architecting end-to-end data movement (batch and streaming).
- Practical knowledge of RAG architecture (vector stores, embeddings, LLM integration) and agentic workflow design.
- Strong grasp of enterprise integration patterns, microservices, and API design.
- Ability to produce architecture artifacts (ADRs, diagrams) and communicate effectively with technical and executive stakeholders.
- Preferred Qualifications:
- Banking/financial services experience, familiarity with SOX, PCI-DSS, GLBA.
- TOGAF, Snowflake (SnowPro Architect), or AWS Solutions Architect certification.
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CloudFormation).
- Education:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Years of Experience: 12.00 Years of Experience
