About the Role

As a Solution Architect within Global Payment Solutions (GPS), you will design and assure secure, resilient, compliant, and scalable end-to-end payment solutions. The role spans core payments capabilities and involves partnering across product, engineering, operations, cybersecurity, and risk to translate outcomes into practical technology designs. Success involves creating solutions that are buildable, testable, and operationally ready with clear non-functional requirements and design evidence. You will also contribute to strengthening engineering maturity through governance, coaching, and simplification.

Responsibilities

Own solution architecture across payments platform initiatives including new capabilities, modernization, migrations, and regulatory-driven change.
Translate business requirements into designs spanning applications, data, integration, infrastructure, security, and operational processes.
Produce and maintain architecture artifacts including high-level design (HLD), low-level design (LLD), diagrams, integration flows, non-functional requirements (NFRs), runbooks, and architecture decision records (ADRs).
Design integration patterns across the payments ecosystem including API-led, event-driven or message-driven, and file-based approaches.
Establish handling for payment-specific concerns including idempotency, timeouts, retries, ordering, cutoffs, reconciliation, exception handling, and auditability.
Define and assure non-functional requirements (NFRs) covering availability, resilience, latency, throughput, disaster recovery (DR), capacity, observability, security, and privacy.
Embed HSBC-aligned controls including least privilege, encryption, secrets management, logging and monitoring, and vulnerability management.
Govern design through reviews and architecture forums, making trade-offs explicit and supporting delivery at pace.

Requirements

Proven solution architecture experience delivering complex, distributed systems in an enterprise environment.
Demonstrable experience delivering ISO 20022 payment solutions, including message schemas, mapping/transformation, validation, versioning, and coexistence with legacy formats during migration.
Demonstrable knowledge of payments architectures and/or high-throughput transactional platforms.
Strong integration experience across application programming interfaces (APIs), messaging or event streaming, and service orchestration.
Experience establishing robust non-functional requirements (NFR) engineering across resilience, performance, capacity, disaster recovery (DR), observability, and operational readiness.
Experience embedding security-by-design across identity and access management (IAM) concepts, threat modeling, encryption, secrets management, and secure application programming interface (API) design.
Experience producing clear architecture artifacts and facilitating structured design reviews and governance.
Ability to partner effectively with stakeholders and explain complex topics clearly across product, engineering, operations, cybersecurity, and risk.
Experience modernizing legacy payments platforms and/or migrating to cloud or hybrid architectures.
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. as HSBC will not engage in immigration sponsorship for this position.
