## Description

We are seeking a Senior Solutions Architect to shape the technical direction, design secure and resilient architectures, and deliver critical banking services end-to-end. You will lead solution architecture and hands-on delivery for core banking capabilities, design and implement integrations and service layers, and architect and build highly available, secure, scalable services using Google Cloud Platform.

Key responsibilities include:

- Leading solution architecture and hands-on delivery for core banking capabilities, including accounts, transactions, fees, interest, statements, product configuration, and operational workflows.

- Designing and implementing integrations and service layers that enable seamless digital experiences across onboarding, authentication, customer servicing, account maintenance, and payments.

- Architecting and building highly available, secure, scalable services using Google Cloud Platform (e.g., GKE/Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL/PostgreSQL, Secret Manager, Cloud Logging/Monitoring).

- Defining API standards and integration patterns, including canonical models, idempotency, versioning, and performance/SLA requirements across the bank ecosystem and Ford enterprise systems.

- Driving modernisation into well-bounded services using Java and Spring Boot, leveraging asynchronous messaging and domain events where it improves resilience and decoupling.

- Building 'secure-by-default' services for a regulated financial environment, including PII protection, encryption, audit trails, least-privilege IAM, threat modelling, automated security scanning.

- Setting technical direction, reviewing designs and code, and mentoring engineers through pairing and coaching.

- Establishing high standards for TDD, CI/CD, quality gates, and operational readiness.

- Defining SLIs/SLOs, logging/metrics/tracing standards, and incident response practices.

- Leading root-cause analysis across distributed systems and driving improvements that prevent recurrence.

- Working effectively with Fiserv and internal stakeholders to align implementation choices to platform capabilities, roadmap constraints, and delivery timelines.

- Translating product needs into reference architectures, implementation plans, and iterative delivery milestones while managing technical debt and long-term scalability.
