Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Core Banking Engineer with deep expertise in the Profile Core Banking platform, specializing in PSL and MUMPS development within the core system. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building, enhancing, and maintaining critical banking logic directly within the core platform. While exposure to integration and front-end technologies is beneficial, the primary expectation is strong core platform development capability. The role requires strong domain knowledge in banking systems, high-performance coding, and the ability to deliver reliable and scalable solutions in enterprise environments.
Key Responsibilities:
· Design and develop core banking application logic within the Profile core platform.
· Write, enhance, and optimize code using Profile Scripting Language (PSL) and/or MUMPS.
· Develop and maintain core modules supporting banking operations and transaction processing.
· Perform end-to-end development lifecycle activities including coding, testing, debugging, documentation, and deployment.
· Ensure high performance, scalability, and stability of core banking applications.
· Maintain and integrate application components within the broader core banking ecosystem.
· Collaborate with integration and front-end teams where necessary, while retaining ownership of core logic.
· Support core banking implementation initiatives such as system upgrades, data conversions, and enhancements.
· Provide technical guidance on platform capabilities, limitations, and best practices to stakeholders.
· Troubleshoot production issues and optimize system performance within the core environment.
Qualifications:
· 7–10+ years of experience in core banking development with strong hands-on expertise in Profile platform environments.
· Deep proficiency in PSL (Profile Scripting Language) and MUMPS-based development.
· Strong experience building and maintaining core banking logic directly within a Profile-based system.
· Solid understanding of banking products, workflows, and transaction processing systems.
· Knowledge of GT.M (NoSQL database) or similar core banking data environments.
· Exposure to integration technologies such as Java, Spring, APIs, or service-based architectures is a plus.
· Experience working on large-scale core banking implementations, upgrades, or modernization initiatives.
· Strong analytical, debugging, and performance optimization skills.
