This person will quickly build deep technical context, evaluate the current platform, and drive a clear modernization and next‑steps plan.

What You’ll Do

Deeply understand the current codebase

and implementation for the FinTech Lending domain (services, APIs, data models, integrations, and operational patterns).

Build a

comprehensive technical view

of the system: architecture, dependencies, performance, security, reliability, and scalability.

Identify

gaps, risks, and improvement opportunities

(design, data, cloud, observability, resiliency, cost, compliance).

Produce a

clear recommendation and execution plan : target architecture, phased roadmap, tradeoffs, and prioritized next steps.

Collaborate with engineering, product, and platform stakeholders to align on strategy and guide implementation.

Required Skills & Experience

Strong hands‑on architecture experience with

Java

(backend/services),

AWS , and

PostgreSQL .

Proven ability to ramp quickly on complex systems and

document / communicate architecture clearly .

Experience designing or leading

cloud‑native platforms

(microservices, APIs, security, scalability, reliability).

FinTech Lending domain knowledge (must‑have)

— understanding of lending lifecycle, credit decisioning, servicing, and compliance considerations.

Nice to Have

Experience with event‑driven systems (Kafka/SNS/SQS), distributed systems, and observability (metrics/logs/tracing).

Familiarity with regulatory/security practices relevant to financial products (auditability, data protection, access controls).

Thank you!
