About the Role
As a hands-on Senior Technical Architect, you will be responsible for end-to-end architecture, design, and implementation of mission-critical systems. You will define both macro and micro level architecture and implement with engineering teams to modernize a VC++ platform into Reacts JS/Java based event based high throughput, low latency micro services based platform, ensuring alignment with cloud-native principles.
Responsibilities
- Define and evolve the architecture for a distributed, cloud-native Investment Accounting platform, aligned with enterprise principles (scalability, resiliency, availability).
- Design modular microservices architectures, ensuring clear service boundaries, domain-driven design, and reusability across business capabilities.
- Establish event-driven architecture patterns for real-time processing, enabling decoupled and scalable workflows.
- Define data architecture and integration patterns, including unified data models, event contracts, and consistency strategies across IBOR/ABOR domains.
- Lead the modernization of legacy VC++ systems into Java-based, distributed services.
- Define migration patterns, decomposition strategies, and phased transformation roadmaps.
- Ensure functional equivalence where required, while enabling architectural evolution beyond legacy constraints.
- Guide teams on translating low-level C++ constructs into scalable Java service patterns (stateless services, async processing, etc.).
- Architect systems for high-throughput transaction processing and near real-time accounting workflows.
- Define cache-driven design strategies (distributed caching, in-memory processing, read/write optimization).
- Establish performance benchmarks, scalability patterns, and capacity planning principles.
- Design and implement for cloud-native (containerization, orchestration, DevSecOps).
- Establish cross-cutting capabilities: Observability (logging, metrics, tracing) for operational intelligence, Resiliency patterns (retry, circuit breaker, idempotency), Security and compliance controls.
- Ensure API-first and contract-first design principles are adhered to.
Requirements
- Extensive experience in software architecture and distributed systems design.
- Strong programming background in VC++ and Java, with proven experience in system modernization.
- Rich experience with AWS/Azure along with modern CICD platforms and pipeline as code.
- Experience building large-scale distributed systems with low latency and high throughput.
- Strong understanding of data consistency, transaction processing, and accounting-like systems.
- Experience in Investment Accounting / Financial Services platforms (transactions, valuations, positions, multi-currency processing).
- Familiarity with Observability and operational intelligence frameworks, Unified data models and ledger-based architectures.
- Experience working in regulatory and audit-heavy environments.
