Responsibilities
- Architect and deliver end-to-end technical solutions across the payments platform, from core client-facing APIs through to integrations and supporting infrastructure.
- Set and enforce engineering standards across the team — championing clean code, SOLID principles, and disciplined design practices that reduce technical debt and improve long-term maintainability.
- Lead design reviews, proof-of-concept initiatives, and technical experiments that evaluate new approaches and establish the best path forward for platform evolution.
- Translate complex system requirements into clear, well-structured software design artifacts that guide consistent, high-quality implementation across engineering teams.
- Guide and mentor engineers at all levels on what good code and good design look like in practice, through hands-on collaboration, pairing, and direct technical coaching.
- Coordinate technical delivery across internal and cross-functional teams, owning estimation, solution planning, and implementation leadership for concurrent initiatives.
- Embed resilience and high-availability thinking into every layer of the architecture, ensuring platform reliability at the scale Citi's clients demand.
- Manage technical risk with transparency and pragmatism, identifying issues early and communicating clearly to protect delivery timelines and platform integrity.
Required Qualifications & Skills
- 15 or more years of hands-on design and development experience, with deep Java expertise and a demonstrable commitment to clean code and SOLID engineering principles.
- Practical experience building medium to large-scale applications using Spring Boot, Microservices, and Kafka on open-source technology stacks.
- Hands-on experience with MongoDB and a strong grasp of data modelling and persistence patterns within distributed systems.
- Proven ability to design and build resilient, high-availability architectures that perform reliably under real-world, high-throughput conditions.
