Key Responsibilities
- 1. Real-Time Stream Processing Architecture (Java-Centric) Design and implement event-driven, stream-processing pipelines for NETC FASTag transaction, mapper, and settlement workflows Build low-latency, high-throughput systems using Java-based streaming frameworks such as Apache Kafka / Kafka Streams, Apache Flink, or Spark Structured Streaming Ensure exactly-once processing, idempotency, and fault tolerance across acquirer–NPCI–issuer hops Handle large-scale streams of toll read events, ANPR images, tag metadata, and clearing/settlement files with predictable latency
- 2. Decision Intelligence & Exception Handling Design and build rules-driven and data-driven decisioning components for: ANPR / Vehicle Registration Number (VRN) validation against tag-vehicle mapping Tag class / vehicle class mismatch detection Fraud and anomaly detection (tag cloning, duplicate reads, ghost transactions, plaza-level anomalies) Intelligent exception and dispute prioritization for charge-back (CCH) and dispute management workflows Collaborate with data science / analytics teams to operationalize models where applicable, ensuring smooth integration into the streaming platform
- 3. Adoption of Emerging Technology Trends (Applied, Not Experimental) Hybrid decisioning (Rules + Analytics + optional ML/GenAI) for transparent toll decisioning and dispute adjudication Explainability and traceability to support charge-back resolution, member bank queries, and regulatory audits Adaptive rule engines that evolve with new fraud patterns, plaza layouts, and vehicle classes Lightweight Generative AI use cases (exploratory) — assisted dispute summaries, root-cause explanations, smart analyst support Governance frameworks for ethical, compliant usage of any automation aligned with NPCI and RBI expectations Emphasis is on controlled, auditable, deterministic systems — critical given the multi-party (acquirer/issuer/concessionaire) settlement nature of NETC.
- 4. Platform Integration & Reliability Engineering Integrate streaming and decisioning components into NETC core switching, mapper, clearing, and settlement systems Design for high availability, resilience, and disaster recovery across active-active data centres Optimize performance under peak national toll volumes (festival/holiday surges, 24×7 plaza operations) Ensure observability (metrics, logs, traces) for NPCI ops, member banks, and plaza operators
- 5. Security, Compliance & Audit Readiness Ensure solutions comply with RBI, NHAI / IHMCL, MoRTH regulatory expectations and NPCI security and data governance standards Build explainability, traceability, and audit hooks into automated transaction and fraud decisions Support internal, external, and regulator audits with clear technical documentation and decision trails
