About the role
To design, develop, and implement solutions to complex business problems, collaborating with stakeholders to understand their needs and requirements, and design and implement solutions that meet those needs and create solutions that balance technology risks against business delivery, driving consistency.
Responsibilities:
- Design and development of solutions as products that can evolve, meeting business requirements that align with modern software engineering practices and automated delivery tooling. This includes identification and implementation of the technologies and platforms.
- Targeted design activities that apply an appropriate workload placement strategy and maximise the benefit of cloud capabilities such as elasticity, serverless, containerisation etc.
- Best practice designs incorporating security principles (such as defence in depth and reduction of blast radius) that meet the Bank’s resiliency expectations.
- Solutions that appropriately balance risks and controls to deliver the agreed business and technology value.
- Adoption of standardised solutions where they fit. If no standard solutions fit, feed into their ongoing evolution where appropriate.
- Fault finding and performance issues support to operational support teams, leveraging available tooling.
- Solution design impact assessment in terms of risk, capacity and cost impact, inc. estimation of project change and ongoing run costs.
- Development of the requisite architecture inputs required to comply with the banks governance processes, including design artefacts required for architecture, privacy, security and records management governance processes.
Qualifications:
- Individual contributor VP Engineer in the GFED Jobs Pod, hands on with coding and able to independently deliver prototypes, POCs production ready solutions.
- Practical experience in GenAI development, including prompt engineering, model integration, tuning, evaluation, and exposure to agentic AI concepts and frameworks.
- Capable of taking full ownership of solutions end to end, hands on with CI/CD pipelines, working closely with Principal Engineers, and engaging effectively with stakeholders to ensure high quality engineering execution.
- Basic data analytics skills, SQL, familiarity working with caches (Redis)
- Nice to have: Angular, experience working with UX designers, container-first development, familiarity with GenAI architectural patterns and ability to influence scalable solution designs.
- AWS cloud services such as S3, Glue, Athena, Lake Formation, CloudFormation etc. Experience with Databricks, Snowflake, Starburst, Iceberg. Matrix-management experience.
- Agility, flexibility to adapt to evolving business priorities. Experience defining and executing governance. Curiosity, a passion for technology.
- You may be assessed on key critical skills relevant for success in role, such as risk and controls, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking and digital and technology, as well as job-specific technical skills.
- The role is based out of Pune.
