Solution Designer

Now, about this opportunity…

As our Solution Designer, you are the bridge between abstract business requirements and concrete engineering implementation. You ensure the architectural vision is realised through high-quality execution. 

You will partner with software, cloud, and data engineers to navigate complex integration challenges and deliver robust, scalable systems. This is a design leadership role grounded in collaboration, clarity, and strong architectural discipline.

If that excites you, this just might be your dream job:

• Own the end-to-end solution design for strategically important initiatives, ensuring the technical blueprint effectively translates business goals into feasible, scalable, and robust systems. 
• Lead early solution design and architecture, shaping scalable, secure, and efficient solutions aligned to business objectives and platform roadmaps. 
• Collaborate deeply with diverse technical stakeholders (software, cloud, and data engineers) to co-create, refine, and clearly articulate solution designs. 
• Architect elegant and effective solutions to complex technical and integration challenges across diverse domains such as Core Banking, Data, and Digital. 
• Design the integration and interaction between technology components, ensuring the overall architecture aligns with engineering standards and design principles. 
• Identify and architect solutions for key technical dependencies and integration points between systems and teams. 
• Define and document comprehensive solution designs and specifications, including non-functional requirements, to ensure clarity for development teams. 
• Communicate design intent clearly through diagrams, models, and lightweight documentation. 
• Identify architectural debt early and drive remediation plans as part of the solution design. 
• Work closely with product owners, architects, and delivery leads to validate design feasibility, participate in design governance reviews, and communicate the architectural vision. 

You’ll likely bring:

• Proven ability to architect and lead the end-to-end solution design for large, complex initiatives involving multiple teams. 
• Experience collaborating effectively with internal and external engineering teams throughout the design lifecycle to validate technical designs. 
• Demonstrated expertise in designing solutions leveraging cloud-native principles and event-driven architectures. 
• Proficiency in architectural modelling techniques such as sequence diagrams, component views, and interaction models. 
• Strong ability to apply banking domain expertise to architect contextually relevant and compliant technical solutions. 
• A deep understanding of non-functional requirements, resilience engineering, and designing for maintainability. 
• Strong collaboration skills across engineering, product, and security partners. 

If you don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply – your experience, mindset and potential matter to us.
