You will set the architecture that two pods (UIs and Connectivity) build against, partner closely with the Data and Platform architects, and be the technical authority the product and design teams turn to when tradeoffs need to be made.\nThis is a hands-on architecture role. You will be in the code, in the design reviews, and in the room where product direction is set.\nMandate: Define and steward the full stack architecture across GTB's client experience and connectivity layers - ensuring every surface is composable, every integration is reliable, and every engineering team can ship with confidence.\nClient Experience Architecture\nDefine the micro-frontend architecture - shell application, module federation strategy, shared component system, and client-side state model. \nSet standards for performance, accessibility, and design system alignment across all user-facing surfaces. \nOwn the frontend platform: build tooling, testing frameworks, CI/CD integration, and developer experience for frontend teams. \nPartner with Product and UX to evaluate feasibility, surface constraints early, and drive decisions that balance speed with quality. \nAPI & Integration Architecture\nDesign and govern the API layer - RESTful and GraphQL contracts, versioning strategy, gateway configuration, and consumer-driven contract testing. \nOwn the connectivity architecture connecting GTB systems to internal platforms, partner networks, and third-party services. \nDefine patterns for event-driven integration, message routing, and protocol translation across diverse connectivity requirements. \nEnsure API security, rate limiting, observability, and reliability are first-class concerns \nEngineering Standards & Enablement\nEstablish and maintain full stack engineering standards, reference architectures, and reusable patterns across the UIs and Connectivity. \nLead architectural reviews, spike investigations, and critical design decisions. \nDrive adoption of engineering best practices: automated testing, observability, feature flagging, progressive delivery. \nMentor Staff and Senior Engineers; grow architectural thinking across the teams. \nEnterprise Architecture Engagement\nThis role operates within the enterprise architecture governance model and is expected to lead and represent the Channels domain through all EA touchpoints:\nProcess & Accountabilities\nArchitecture Engagement & Triage: Register new initiatives; scope architecture risk and complexity; route to appropriate review track. \nDesign Council / Peer Review: Present Channels architectural decisions for peer challenge; review and provide input on cross-domain proposals. \nArchitecture Blueprinting & Platform Vision: Own and maintain the Channels architecture blueprint; align to enterprise target state and multi-year platform roadmap. \nArchitecture Certificate / APAT Approval: Obtain architecture approval for all qualifying delivery initiatives; ensure designs meet enterprise standards before build entry. \nStandards & Controls Alignment: Ensure Channels solutions comply with enterprise security, data, API, and integration standards; identify and formally manage exceptions. \nBusiness Architecture & Capability Governance: Map Channels technical capabilities to business capability model; participate in capability investment planning and rationalization. \n Delivery Readiness Handshakes (PI / Build Execution): Confirm architecture completeness at PI planning gates; support delivery teams through architecture queries during build and validate that solutions are built to design. \nWhat We're Looking For\nCore Requirements\n10+ years of software engineering experience, with the last 5+ in an architecture or technical leadership role. \nProven track record designing and delivering production-grade full stack systems at enterprise scale - not just contributing to them. \nDeep expertise in modern frontend architecture: micro-frontends, module federation, React (or equivalent), component systems, and frontend performance engineering. \nStrong backend engineering grounding: Java or Node.js, REST and GraphQL API design, and distributed systems fundamentals. \nSolid understanding of API gateway patterns, security (OAuth2, mTLS, OIDC), and integration architecture. \nExperience with Microsoft Azure and cloud-native application delivery. \nComfortable with ambiguity - able to define the path forward when requirements are incomplete and tradeoffs are real. \nNice to Have\nExposure to event-driven connectivity using Kafka, Solace, or similar messaging platforms. \nExperience with Kubernetes -based application deployment and platform engineering. \nFamiliarity with design systems and component library governance at scale. \nFinancial services or transaction banking domain experience. \nWhy Join Us\nThis is a rare opportunity to do foundational architecture work - not incremental improvements to an established system, but defining how a major financial institution's client-facing technology is built for the next decade. You'll have real authority, proximity to business outcomes, and a team of strong engineers.\nThe work is hard, the platform is genuinely interesting, and the decisions you make will matter.\n#LI-TECH\nWho We Are:\nTD Securities offers a wide range of capital markets products and services to corporate, government, and institutional clients who choose us for our innovation, execution, and experience.
