They are team with decades of wealth management experience, now focused on transforming legacy technology into intelligent, AI-driven solutions. They are looking for someone who loves building products and is curious and passionate about our tech stack.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end solution design and technical delivery for bank clients: integrations with CRM, PMS, core banking, market data, and data warehouses

• Run technical pre-sales and discovery workshops with bank stakeholders (IT, InfoSec, Compliance, RMs) to capture requirements and constraints (data residency, connectivity, SLAs)

• Create client-specific deliverables: architecture diagrams, integration specs, API contracts, deployment blueprints (on-prem/hybrid/cloud), and operational runbooks

• Lead PoCs and pilots: scope, timebox, deliver technical artefacts, measure success against acceptance criteria, and iterate with client feedback

• Ensure solutions meet regulatory and bank controls, produce compliance-ready documents for bank review and audit

• Design multi-tenant and per-bank isolation strategies: tenant separation, network segmentation, KMS per-client, and role-based access models

• Define MLOps & ModelOps patterns for production: model packaging, versioning, CI/CD, canary rollouts, drift detection, retraining cadence, and approval gates tailored to each bank’s governance

• Provide professional-service delivery leadership during rollout: cutover planning, data migration strategies, DR/BCP, runbooks, training, and support transition to bank operations or managed service

• Produce cost estimates, TCO models, and risk register for client proposals; engage with procurement and legal to evaluate vendor/cloud constraints

• Mentor internal engineers on bank-grade architecture and delivery best practices; contribute to reusable implementation patterns and onboarding kits for new bank customers

• Reuse of platform patterns: number of banks onboarded using the reusable implementation

• 6+ years in software architecture or technical delivery; 3+ years in ML/AI system design and production deployments

• Hands-on with cloud-native architectures (AWS/Azure/GCP), containers (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes) and experience implementing on-prem/hybrid deployments

• Practical experience with LLMs, RAG, embedding pipelines and vector DBs, and designing explainability and auditability into AI outputs

• Strong client-facing skills: running discovery workshops, producing SOW-level technical designs, and managing technical escalations
