Senior Technical Architect

Designation: Senior Technical Architect
Location: Mumbai BKC
Must Have & Good to Have Profile focus: Hands-on Senior Technical Architect with strong banking architecture depth, not a generic solution architect.
A) MUST HAVE - Non-negotiable
• 10+ years of overall technology experience, with substantial architecture/design responsibility.
• Strong BFSI / Banking experience - practical exposure to banking technology, banking processes and Core Banking applications/systems.
• 8+ years of HLD/LLD exposure, with proven ability to independently prepare architecture and design documents.
• Very strong HLD capability - able to design and articulate solution architecture covering system components, integrations, technology choices, security, cloud/infrastructure, data flows and NFRs.
• Clear understanding of HLD vs. LLD - must be able to explain the difference confidently and demonstrate practical experience with both.
• Strong end-to-end technology stack understanding - frontend, middleware, APIs, backend, databases, integration layers and infrastructure.
• Strong API & integration architecture experience - particularly important given the client feedback around limited API-led integration exposure.
• Cloud architecture knowledge - architecture, deployment patterns, scalability, security and integration; Azure preferred, with AWS/GCP exposure also relevant.
• Hands-on technical depth - architect should be technically strong enough to review code, assess design/code quality and guide development teams.
• Strong non-functional architecture knowledge - performance, scalability, availability, resilience, security, DR and enterprise-grade NFRs.
• Architecture governance experience - ability to review solutions and ensure adherence to enterprise/bank architecture principles, technology standards and security requirements.
• Strong Agile/Scrum delivery experience, working closely with product owners, developers, engineering teams and other architects.
• Excellent technical documentation capability - independently creating/reviewing HLDs, LLDs, architecture diagrams, interface specifications and technical standards.
• Strong scenario-based problem solving - must be able to respond to real-world banking architecture scenarios, rather than provide theoretical answers.
• Senior-level communication skills - clear, confident and capable of explaining complex architecture to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
B) GOOD TO HAVE - Strong Differentiators
• Deep Core Banking exposure, especially having architected solutions integrating with Core Banking platforms.
• Experience across application modernization, microservices and API-led architecture.
•Experience designing large-scale enterprise banking applications and complex integration ecosystems.
• Vendor/product evaluation experience, including technology assessment and vendor selection.
• Experience conducting PoCs as part of product/vendor evaluation.
• Familiarity with multiple architecture/design and modelling tools.
• Experience with DevSecOps and CI/CD architecture/practices.
• Multi-cloud exposure across Azure, AWS and/or GCP, while Azure remains preferred.
• Experience working within a Bank's architecture governance / design authority framework.
• Ability to bridge business/process understanding with technical architecture, particularly when discussing banking use cases.
• Experience guiding developers and engineering teams through design reviews, code reviews and architecture remediation.
The candidates purely establish the following six areas:
1. Banking / BFSI depth 2. HLD / LLD capability 3. API & integration architecture 4. Cloud architecture 5. Hands-on technical depth 6. Senior communication & scenario handling
