- Architect and guide the development of cloud-native applications and API-first solutions.
- Partner with engineering, infrastructure, security, and DevOps teams to ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for performance, scalability, and compliance.
- Conduct system and process analysis to identify architectural gaps and opportunities for automation and performance improvement.
- Evaluate and recommend data storage strategies across RDBMS, NoSQL, and legacy/emerging database technologies.
- Act as a technical liaison between engineering teams and non-technical/business stakeholders, clearly communicating architectural trade-offs and decisions.
- Ensure solutions adhere to banking-industry regulatory, security, and data-privacy requirements (e.g., PCI-DSS, SOX, GLBA, and internal risk/compliance frameworks).
