Core Competencies
Functional Knowledge: The most critical requirement is a strong functional knowledge of retail banking from front to back. This is more important than specific technical skills.
Technical Skills: The candidate should have a wide but shallow technical knowledge, as the projects cut through various technologies from modern front-ends (like React) to legacy back-ends (like Cobol).
Experience: Experience in financial services is a must, with a strong preference for candidates who have worked at HSBC.
Project Context
The architect will be involved in two main projects: A payments and multi-currency account project.
A proposition that spans from a mobile app to the back-end ledger, including "debit card as a service" and a sub-ledger.
The payment-related work is more about payment orchestration and channel-side development, not the underlying payment rails like CHAPS or RTGS.
