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 in Banking.
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.
