Technical Lead

We are seeking a deeply technical and domain-focused SWIFT & ISO 20022 Specialist to own the cross-border architectural stream of a major payments modernization initiative.

The successful resource will be responsible for translating high-level business goals for global payments into concrete technical designs.

The primary focus of this role is to successfully architecture the implementation of modern SWIFT cloud APIs (Pre-validation, Case Management, gpi) and map incoming/outgoing global messaging rails to the bank’s internal core engines and client channels.

• Architect and map end-to-end messaging flows for cross-border transactions, shifting legacy messaging variants to structured XML formats.
• Lead the specific technical design and schema validation for pacs.004 (Payment Returns) and camt.056 (Resolution of Investigation / Recall) messages for both inward and outward processing.
• Ensure data completeness and integrity throughout the mapping layers to avoid truncation issues during downstream core banking processing. 2. SWIFT API & Ecosystem Integration
• Architect the target integration blueprint for the SWIFT Pre-validation API to minimize friction and prevent transaction rejections at the point of origin.
• Design the system communication layer for SWIFT Case Management to streamline and automate transaction exception handling.
• Create integration paths to surface real-time data from the SWIFT gpi (Global Payments Innovation) Tracker directly into Private Online Banking (POB) and Corporate Online Banking (COB) customer front-ends. 3. Cross-Border Automation & Channels Optimization
• Design the programmatic logic required to ingest incoming SWIFT rails and execute real-time automation, such as applying carded FX rates and dynamically triggering customer Credit Advices.
• Architect structural handling for transaction compliance workflows, including routing logic for handling failures (e.g., automated notification triggers from core modules to POB/OTC staff interfaces).
• Utilize standard industry tools (such as SWIFT MyStandards) to formalize documentation for usage guidelines, message schemas, and validation rules. Required Skillset & Qualifications Technical & SWIFT Domain Expertise
