Job Overview And Responsibility
Role Summary We are seeking a Solution Architect to serve as the strategic interface between local business requirements and global technical delivery. In this role, you will lead the design and implementation of end-to-end architectures, facilitating technical workshops to ensure the client's business vision is accurately translated into global-standard blueprints. While you bring strong banking domain expertise, core banking knowledge is considered a plus and not mandatory — GFT will provide structured training and enablement to further empower your expertise with our global architectural standards and methodologies. Key Activities - Design and implement end-to-end solution architectures for banking transformation, taking ownership of the initial design phase through workshops conducted in English, or Vietnamese. - Evaluate existing banking systems within the client’s infrastructure, identifying limitations and proposing solutions that align with both global standards and local regulatory requirements. - Collaborate with business stakeholders, product owners, and SMEs to define solution blueprints, acting as the technical leader for requirements gathered in local language. - Manage and coordinate technical efforts across multiple local and offshore teams to ensure timely delivery of robust and future-proof banking solutions. - Ensure architectural integrity and consistency by synthesizing local business logic into English-language technical documentation for global development teams. - Identify, communicate, and mitigate RAID throughout the project lifecycle, navigating the organizational nuances of large-scale local enterprises. - Provide technical leadership in defining best practices and frameworks for banking transformation.
Required Skills and Experience
- Language Proficiency (Mandatory): + Fluent English (spoken and written) is required for technical documentation, global collaboration, and architecture governance. + Professional fluency in English for stakeholder negotiation and solution design facilitation. - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. - Proficiency in developing and deploying applications in microservices and event-driven architectures, with strong backend engineering skills. - Primary language: Java (Java, OOP, Kafka, Spring Boot, etc.) - Secondary languages (advantage): Python, Go - Minimum of 4+ years of experience in a Solution Architect role or 5+ years of experience in banking technology, banking implementation, or platform engineering. - Strong banking domain experience, with a clear focus on Lending and Deposit products (e.g. loan lifecycle, credit processing, CASA, term deposits). - Solid understanding of banking transaction processing, payments, and regulatory requirements. - Core Banking experience is a plus (nice to have); onboarding training and architectural enablement will be provided. - Expertise in enterprise architecture, software design patterns, and API-driven architectures. - Proficiency in modern application development methodologies, including event-driven architecture and microservices. - Hands-on experience with integration frameworks and legacy modernization approaches in banking. - Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and strong interpersonal skills. - Ability to adapt existing domain knowledge to new architectural frameworks and global implementation standards. - Builds strong, influential relationships with senior stakeholders, effectively engaging C-suite and executive leaders to align technical strategy with business priorities.
