You will report directly to our Director of Solution Architecture for Financial Services and work as a close, active partner across enterprise-scale FS transformation programs — spanning complex technology transformation and modernization, payments infrastructure, capital markets platforms and regulatory compliance architecture. The role centers on hands-on Gen-AI and agentic solution design, paired with a shift-left mindset: rather than simply handing over AI-generated outputs, you’ll actively share the underlying skills and methods with colleagues so capability spreads across the team.
