• Architect will lead the architectural transformation of legacy payment systems (e.g., ACH, Wire, RTP) into a cloud-native ecosystem. You will be responsible for the end-to-end migration journey—from initial discovery and dependency mapping to the implementation of event-driven architectures on AWS. Your primary objective is to modernize monolithic payment engines into resilient microservices while maintaining strict compliance with PCI DSS , ISO 20022 , and regional financial regulations.

Key Responsibilities Cloud Migration & Modernization Strategy Migration Execution

Lead the "7Rs" migration strategy (specifically Refactoring and Replatforming ) to move legacy Jave and C# based payment apps to AWS. Strangler Fig Implementation Gradually decompose monolithic payment systems into microservices using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda to ensure zero-downtime transitions. Database Transformation Migrate legacy relational databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server) to cloud-native alternatives like Amazon Aurora or DynamoDB using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) . Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Standardize environment provisioning using Terraform or AWS CDK to ensure consistent, auditable deployments across multi-region environments.

Payments Engineering & Compliance High-Availability Architecture

Design multi-region, active-active architectures to meet stringent SLAs for real-time payment processing and disaster recovery. Security & Compliance Implement "Security-by-Design" using AWS KMS for field-level encryption, AWS PrivateLink for secure third-party integrations, and AWS Artifact for PCI DSS compliance reporting. Event-Driven Processing Utilize Amazon MSK (Kafka) or Amazon SQS/SNS to handle high-volume transaction streams and asynchronous settlement workflows. API Excellence Develop and maintain robust RESTful APIs that integrate with modern front-ends (React) and external financial networks.

AI-Augmented Engineering AI-Driven Refactoring

Leverage Amazon Bedrock and GitHub Copilot to accelerate the translation of legacy business logic into modern, cloud-optimized code. Intelligent Observability Implement full-stack monitoring via Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray , using AI-driven insights to detect transaction anomalies and potential fraud in real-time. Automated Testing Design AI-powered testing suites to simulate complex payment edge cases and ensure regression-free migrations.

Required Skills & Experience Technical Foundations Experience

10+ years in financial services engineering, with a proven track record of migrating large-scale transaction systems to the cloud. AWS Expertise Deep hands-on experience with EC2 , EKS , Lambda , S3 , and RDS . Payment Domain Expert knowledge of payment rails (ACH, SWIFT, SEPA), messaging standards ( ISO 20022 ), and clearing/settlement processes. Security Strong understanding of encryption, tokenization, and PCI DSS requirements.

Modern Tooling & Methodology IaC & CI/CD

Expert-level proficiency in Terraform and automated deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline). Data Integration Experience with ETL platform migrations and data synchronization during hybrid-cloud phases. Agile Leadership Ability to lead cross-functional squads in high-velocity, regulated environments.

Preferred Qualifications

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional AWS Certified Security – Specialty Experience with Agentic Commerce: Familiarity with emerging protocols for autonomous AI-driven payments.
