Our client needs a senior-level Solutions Architect to support their growing Open Banking team.

The ideal candidate brings strong open banking domain expertise-particularly with FDX, OFX, aggregator integrations, and fintech API ecosystems.

Work with X-Wave platform and related tooling to expose open banking APIs to external fintech companies and aggregators.
Develop architectural diagrams, flows, and conceptual designs using tools such as Figma or similar.
Participate in open banking discussions, helping determine which APIs to publish, support, or adopt.
Provide technical leadership and direction to the team, including lightweight POC-level coding when necessary (not a hands-on coding role).
Support overall roadmap planning and help influence the future architectural direction of the open banking platform.

Required Skills:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, or a related field and three (3) years of enterprise, solutions and/or technical architecture related experience
