Lead architecture reviews, proofs-of-concept, and design discussions across teams.
Develop integrations with risk, compliance orchestration, third-party platforms, and digital channels.
Build and maintain compliance back-office solutions like transaction monitoring, controls, reconciliation, and reporting.
Role Requirements
Master’s degree with 5+ years of experience; bachelor’s with 7+ years software development experience; including 2+ years as a solution or technical lead in medium to large organizations.

Strong full-stack knowledge: frontend, backend, APIs, data, cloud, and infrastructure.
Experience with modern architectures: web apps, APIs, databases, event-driven systems, queues, automation, microservices.
Experience with Java/J2EE, web tech, web services, and frontend frameworks like Angular or React.
Strong grasp of secure coding, privacy, compliance, reliability, observability, and production readiness in regulated settings.
Compensation
