Senior Manager - Application Architect - Technology

Key Responsibilities:

• Blueprint Ownership: Design end-to-end application architectures for proprietary RMS and Clearing engines, ensuring they are modular, maintainable, and low latency.
• Standardization: Establish and enforce enterprise-wide engineering standards for API design, data modeling, and inter-service communication.
• Pattern Definition: Define reusable architectural patterns to streamline development and ensure consistency across the DC/DR landscape.
• Performance Guardrails: Explicitly define and validate Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) including throughput, latency budgets, and recovery time objectives (RTO).
• Operational Readiness: Ensure that NFRs are "baked-in" from the design phase, rather than treated as an afterthought during production deployment.
• Testing Oversight: Partner with Performance Engineering to ensure architecture remains stable under stress-test scenarios.
• Horizontal Scalability: Architect systems to handle exponential volume growth using distributed computing, caching strategies, and load-balancing techniques.
• Fault Tolerance: Design for "Fail-Fast" and self-healing; implement circuit breakers and redundancy to ensure no single point of failure in the clearing cycle.
• Security by Design: Integrate Zero-Trust principles and encryption standards into the application layer to meet SEBI/CSCRF cyber-resilience mandates.
• Innovation Strategy: Research and pilot emerging technologies (e.g., Cloud-Native, High-Performance Messaging) to modernize the legacy tech stack .
• Legacy De-risking: Create the migration roadmap to move away from rigid COTS/Vendor platforms toward flexible, proprietary engineering.
• Future-Proofing: Ensure the stack is capable of supporting future market shifts, such as T+0 settlement or expanded derivatives segments.
• Architecture Review Board (ARB): Lead the ARB to review and approve all major design changes, ensuring alignment with the long-term vision.
• Vendor Oversight: Provide technical governance for partner-led initiatives , ensuring their contributions adhere to internal architectural standards.
• Audit Compliance: Maintain comprehensive architectural documentation for regulatory inspections, demonstrating clear controls over system logic and data flows.

Preferred skills:

• Mastery of Java, Distributed Systems (Kafka), IBM DB 2 and Containerization (Kubernetes).
