Solution Architect – Java / Microservices / BankingIdeal profile:
Solution Architect + Strong Java/Spring Boot + Microservices + Distributed Systems + Cloud/Kubernetes + Banking.
Role Overview
We are looking for a hands-on Solution Architect with 10+ years of experience to design and guide enterprise applications for a Banking client.
The candidate must have strong experience in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, Distributed Systems, REST APIs, Angular, Cloud, Kubernetes, and CI/CD.
Banking experience is required. Credit Card / Payments experience is highly preferred.
This is a technical Solution Architect role, not a high-level architecture or documentation-only position. The candidate should be capable of making technical decisions, explaining design trade-offs, guiding development teams, and addressing complex production issues.
Key Responsibilities
- Design end-to-end solutions for large-scale banking applications.
- Define microservices, APIs, integration patterns, data flows, and system components.
- Work with business and technical teams to convert requirements into detailed technical solutions.
- Provide technical direction to Java/Spring Boot development teams.
- Design scalable, highly available, secure, and fault-tolerant applications.
- Define communication patterns between microservices, including REST and event-driven approaches.
- Guide teams on distributed transactions, data consistency, error handling, and recovery.
- Review technical designs and ensure architecture standards are followed.
- Support cloud-native application design and containerized deployments.
- Work closely with DevOps, QA, Infrastructure, Security, and Operations teams.
- Support modernization of legacy applications into microservices-based platforms.
- Troubleshoot complex architectural and production issues.
- Ensure solutions meet banking security, compliance, and regulatory requirements.
Must-Have Skills
- 10+ years overall IT experience
- Java & Spring Boot – Strong/Expert
- Microservices Architecture – Strong/Expert
- Distributed Systems & System Design – Strong
- REST APIs / API Design
- Angular
- Cloud / Cloud-Native Architecture
- Kubernetes
- CI/CD
- Event-Driven Architecture
- Resilience & Fault Tolerance
- Banking Domain Experience
Strongly Preferred
- Credit Card / Payments experience
- Saga Pattern / Distributed Transactions
- Kafka or similar messaging platforms
- Service Mesh
- AWS / Azure / Google Cloud Platform
- Docker / Kubernetes
- API Gateway
- Observability / Monitoring
Technical Depth Expected
The candidate should be able to explain and defend architecture decisions, including:
- How to break a large application into microservices
- How to determine appropriate service boundaries
- REST vs. event-driven communication
- How to handle distributed transactions and data consistency
- Saga – Choreography vs. Orchestration
- Retry, timeout, circuit breaker, and backoff strategies
- How to prevent cascading failures
- Kubernetes deployment, scaling, health checks, and troubleshooting
- CI/CD deployment and rollback strategies
- Security and API integration
- High availability and scalability
- Production failure scenarios and recovery
- Architectural trade-offs and design alternatives
Important – Candidate Profile
Please do not submit candidates who are only strong Java Developers or only high-level Architects.
We need someone who can architect the solution and also go deep technically—understand how the microservices will communicate, how failures will be handled, how the application will scale, how it will be deployed on Kubernetes/cloud, and how the development team should implement the architecture.
Ideal profile:
Solution Architect + Strong Java/Spring Boot + Microservices + Distributed Systems + Cloud/Kubernetes + Banking.
