  • Collaborate with project management, development, QA, and DevOps teams to maintain technical integrity
  • Lead architectural reviews, risk assessments, and mitigation strategies for the modernization initiative

  • Serve as the primary architectural liaison among platform engineering, web services, security, data, and deployment teams
  • Offer mentorship and technical guidance to engineers and solution designers throughout the migration process

Discovery and Migration Planning

  • Participate in the Technical Discovery and Blueprint Design phase, outlining the long-term architectural roadmap
  • Lead migration strategies during the application migration phase, with a focus on messaging layer technologies such as Apache Kafka

Required Qualifications:

  • At least 5 years of experience in enterprise-scale architectural leadership
  • Hands-on experience with legacy-to-modern technology transformations, preferably in financial services or other high-availability environments
  • Experience with Java platforms, C/C++ systems, Oracle 19c, and enterprise messaging systems

Technical Expertise

  • Strong knowledge of middleware and message brokers (e.g., Apache Kafka, IBM MQ)
  • Demonstrated expertise in designing scalable, secure, and fault-tolerant microservices architectures
  • Familiarity with performance tuning, high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR), and low-latency system design
  • Experience with cloud-native and containerized architectures is a plus

Communication and Stakeholder Management

  • Ability to articulate complex technical concepts to business stakeholders and executive leadership
  • Experience working closely with senior technical and business stakeholders across the organization

Preferred Qualifications:
