Senior Application Architect - Assistant Vice President

As a hands-on Technical Architect, you will be responsible for the 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 React JS/Java based event-based high throughput, low latency microservices platform, ensuring alignment with cloud-native principles. Key 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. - Architect systems for high-throughput transaction processing and near real-time accounting workflows. - 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. Required Qualifications: - 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. - Deep expertise in event-driven architectures, microservices, domain-driven design, high-performance, and low-latency systems. - Experience building large-scale distributed systems with low latency and high throughput. - Strong understanding of data consistency, transaction processing, and accounting-like systems. Preferred Qualifications: - 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 (traceability, reconciliation).
