The role requires deep hands‑on expertise in Java‑based full‑stack development, microservices architecture, and cloud‑native technologies, along with ownership for driving solution design and delivery aligned to business objectives and target‑state architecture.

A strong understanding of SDLC, system integration, and Agile delivery models is essential, as is the ability to translate business and operational needs into scalable, resilient technology solutions supporting the global end‑state Wealth Lending Servicing platform.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deliver scalable, resilient Java‑based full‑stack applications for Wealth Lending Servicing, aligned to target‑state architecture and engineering standards.
• Lead solution design across microservices, APIs, and integration layers, ensuring secure, high‑performance, and maintainable implementations.
• Partner with business, product, and technology stakeholders to translate functional and non‑functional requirements into robust technical solutions supporting new products and process improvements.
• Drive engineering excellence by enforcing best practices across code quality, testing, security, performance, and operational readiness.
• Build and enhance event‑driven and API‑based integrations, supporting distributed and highly available systems.
• Champion CI/CD, automation, and cloud‑native deployment practices to improve delivery speed, reliability, and developer productivity.
• Proactively identify and resolve complex technical and non‑technical issues, ensuring platform stability, resilience, and rapid recovery.
• Leverage AI‑assisted development tools responsibly to improve engineering efficiency, code quality, and development consistency in line with firm policies.
• Lead application modernization initiatives, including migration of legacy platforms to microservices and cloud‑aligned architectures.
• Influence technical direction and outcomes through clear communication, architectural guidance, and effective collaboration with senior stakeholders.
  

Qualifications

• 10–15 years of relevant experience in the Financial Services industry, delivering enterprise‑scale technology solutions in regulated environments.
• Proven experience designing and delivering complex, multi‑system, distributed, highly available applications.
• Strong hands‑on expertise in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, and full‑stack application development.
• Experience building and integrating RESTful APIs, event‑driven systems (Kafka/RabbitMQ), and distributed messaging architectures.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and cloud‑native deployment platforms (e.g., OpenShift, Harness, Lightspeed).
• Deep knowledge of application and API security, including OAuth2 and token‑based security models.
• Experience modernizing legacy Java platforms to microservices and cloud‑native architectures.
• Strong understanding of architectural principles, design patterns, and system integration patterns, with experience producing high‑ and low‑level design artifacts.
• Proven ability to lead technical design and influence engineering decisions across teams.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical trade‑offs to senior audiences.
• Experience leveraging AI‑assisted development tools to enhance developer productivity and engineering quality.
