Do you want to translate complex business requirements into sustainable, highly secure, and state-of-the-art IT solutions? To strengthen our Enterprise Architecture & IT Solution Design team, we are looking for a highly qualified and motivated personality in Zurich - to start immediately or as agreed. \n\nAs a Senior Solution Architect, you will work closely with our existing team of expert architects, internal specialists, product, and engineering teams, as well as with our peers at partner banks. Together, you will design, build, and constantly drive excellence in our cashless payment products, playing a pivotal role in the strategic evolution and modernization of our core payment processing and risk management platforms. \n\nYou will advise and lead critical architecture initiatives, bridging the gap between technical platform strategies and our target operating model. Your role will involve gathering and analyzing requirements, designing resilient reference, architectures defining standards, and driving enterprise architecture governance and documentation. You will solve complex challenges across integration, API design, event-driven systems, and Zero Trust security to ensure our next-generation operations are scalable and future-ready. \nResponsibilitiesAct as a key architectural driver for evolving legacy systems into next-generation platforms, working closely with cross-functional engineering teams and peer architects located in Zurich and Bioggio TI to ensure deep technical readiness. \nDrive the alignment of technical platform strategies with our target operating model. Guide the organization through complex IT transformations, ensuring that our people, processes, and technologies are fully equipped to achieve long-term strategic goals. \nServe as a domain expert defining integration strategies for our complex, high-volume payment processing ecosystems. \nCollaborate on the architectural integration of risk management and fraud detection solutions into our broader payment ecosystem to ensure robust risk management stability. \nChampion application modernization initiatives through event-driven architectures, heavily utilizing event streaming and event sourcing patterns to uncouple legacy systems. \nPartner with security teams to embed security at every layer of the architecture. Contribute to STRIDE-LM threat modeling, ensure continuous compliance integration (including FINMA, PCI DSS), and help implement practical Zero Trust architecture principles. \nActively participate in enterprise architecture governance and automation, utilizing tools like LeanIX to document applications, data flows, and interfaces, while providing collaborative oversight across multiple engineering teams. \nQualificationsA university degree (ETH, Uni, FH) in computer science or a related field. \nSeveral years of experience in software engineering and solution architecture, with a proven track record of designing and uncoupling complex, large-scale distributed systems with modern integration patterns, and integrating third-party platforms. \nDeep knowledge of financial services infrastructure, transactional platforms, and payment processing workflows. Experience in cashless payment standards (e.g., EMV, ep2) is a strong advantage. \nPractical knowledge of domain-driven design and microservices architecture, API design (REST, OpenAPI, gRPC), and event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka). Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, GCP or AWS) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes). Having experience in hybrid environments is a significant advantage. \nPractical experience architecting highly resilient, fault-tolerant systems anchored in Zero Trust principles, including strong skills in threat modeling and SDLC compliance integration. \nYou know how to align technical platform strategies with target operating models, effectively managing the human and process readiness required for major technological shifts. \nYou are a strong communicator in English and German who can structure and articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Fluency in Italian is a plus. \nJob BenefitsAt Viseca you will work in a dynamic and creative environment with good development opportunities. We maintain an open and uncomplicated culture and offer our employees extensive decision-making powers in addition to a thorough introduction, home office possibility, attractive employment conditions and progressive fringe benefits. \nKontaktViseca Payment Services SA, Patrick Grzinic, People & Culture \nTake part in our success story and apply online with your complete application documents.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4791,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Home office"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cards & Card Issuing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-01T09:23:16Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.708,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":18,"expected_fill_days":11,"reasons":["seen:18","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/viseca-it-solutions-architect-senior-expert-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/viseca-it-solutions-architect-senior-expert-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T03:35:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4911,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54307},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54307"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fviseca-it-solutions-architect-senior-expert-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fviseca-it-solutions-architect-senior-expert-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fviseca-it-solutions-architect-senior-expert-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/viseca-it-solutions-architect-senior-expert-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fviseca-it-solutions-architect-senior-expert-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3585109}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"viseca.ch","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3585109},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
