Job Description:

We are seeking a Technical Architect to lead the end-to-end architectural design and technical oversight of a major modernization initiative. This role is central to the strategic replatforming effort transitioning from a legacy C/C++ system to a scalable, robust, and cloud-adaptable Java-based architecture.

You will define the Target State Architecture and Blueprint, ensuring alignment with enterprise-wide objectives and technical best practices. As a hands-on and visionary architect, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams across infrastructure, security, development, and operations to shape a secure, high-performance, future-ready platform.

Key Responsibilities

+ Architectural Leadership

+ Drive the creation of the Target State Architecture and Blueprint, including system interaction models and integration flows.

+ Define and validate architecture diagrams, technical patterns, and component interaction models across tiers.

+ Provide final sign-off and governance over all architectural deliverables and designs.

+ Strategic Implementation Oversight

+ Ensure the accurate translation of architecture into implementation throughout the SDLC and production rollout.

+ Collaborate with project management, development, QA, and DevOps teams to ensure consistency and technical integrity.

+ Lead architecture reviews, risk assessments, and mitigation planning for the modernization program.

+ Cross-functional Technical Collaboration

+ Act as the primary architectural liaison between platform engineering, web services, security, data, and deployment teams.

+ Provide mentorship and technical guidance to engineers and solution designers involved in the migration.

+ Discovery & Migration Planning

+ Participate in the “Technical Discovery & Blueprint Design” phase, defining the platform’s long-term architectural roadmap.

+ Oversee migration strategies during the “Application Migration of Messaging Layer” phase, especially around technologies like Apache Kafka.

Required Qualifications

Professional Experience

+ 12+ years in software engineering or architecture roles, with at least 5+ years in enterprise-scale architectural leadership.

+ Direct experience leading legacy-to-modern technology transformations, ideally in financial services or other high-availability sectors.

+ Hands-on architectural experience with Java platforms, C/C++ systems, Oracle 19c, and enterprise messaging systems.

+ Technical Expertise

+ Deep knowledge of middleware, message brokers (e.g., Kafka, IBM MQ), and enterprise integration patterns.

+ Proven track record in designing scalable, fault-tolerant, and secure microservices-based architectures.

+ Solid understanding of performance tuning, HA/DR configurations, and low-latency system design.

+ Comfortable working with cloud-native and containerized architectures is a plus.

+ Communication & Stakeholder Management

+ Strong communication skills to translate complex technical concepts into business-aligned strategy.

+ Experience engaging with senior stakeholders, architects, and cross-functional technical teams.

Nice to Have

+ Experience with API gateway, security protocols (OAuth2, TLS, etc.), and observability tooling.

+ Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible).

+ Familiarity with regulatory requirements and compliance frameworks relevant to financial institutions.
