Senior Software Architect – Java Enterprise Applications

Your Role

• The Software Architect provides hands-on technical leadership for IntraFi Business Process applications that support complex financial workflows. This role defines and guides the architecture of Java-based systems that manage business rules, transaction processing, data integrity, validation, exception handling, operational resiliency, and practical AI-enabled capabilities. The architect works closely with engineering, product, quality, security, and infrastructure partners to turn business needs into practical, maintainable solutions.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and technical design of Java-based Business Process applications and platform capabilities.
• Translate complex business requirements into clear solution designs, implementation plans, and measurable non-functional requirements.
• Design reliable processing flows for business rules, transaction lifecycle management, validation, exception handling, auditability, and data reconciliation.
• Guide engineers on application structure, code quality, testing strategy, performance, security, and operational supportability.
• Establish relational data design and SQL practices that protect data integrity and support performant, scalable processing.
• Partner with product and business stakeholders to resolve ambiguity, identify risks early, and make sound technical tradeoffs.
• Conduct design reviews and maintain architecture artifacts, including solution designs, diagrams, and technical decision records.
• Architect and guide the responsible integration of AI-enabled capabilities into Business Process applications, including model and LLM integration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), inference services, workflow orchestration, evaluation, monitoring, and appropriate security controls.
• Collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams on CI/CD, observability, incident readiness, and AWS-hosted application operations.
• Mentor developers and provide technical leadership through influence; this role does not have direct reports.

Required Experience, Skills, and Qualifications

• Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) tools to optimize workflows, problem-solving, and productivity.
• Advanced knowledge of Java and enterprise application development, including the ability to guide design and implementation decisions across a development team.
• Advanced experience designing or modernizing workflow-driven, rules-driven, transaction-processing, or other complex Business Process applications.
• Advanced knowledge of relational database design, SQL, data integrity controls, and performance optimization; Oracle experience is preferred.
• Intermediate to advanced experience with AWS-hosted applications and cloud operational practices, including security, monitoring, resiliency, and cost-aware design.
• Intermediate experience with distributed systems concepts, including scalability, fault tolerance, observability, and recovery from failures.
• Intermediate experience with CI/CD and modern software delivery practices.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate architecture decisions clearly to engineers, product partners, and non-technical stakeholders.
• Hands-on experience designing or integrating AI-enabled capabilities in enterprise applications, including model or LLM integration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), inference services, prompt and evaluation design, and AI application security controls.
• Working knowledge of practical AI engineering tools and patterns, such as LLM application frameworks, vector search or retrieval, model evaluation and monitoring, and responsible AI guardrails.
