• Architecture & Design
• Own E2E solution architecture: domain models, service decomposition, integration patterns, security zones, data flows, and scaling strategies.
• Leverage microservices and containerized components to build resilient, cloud-ready deployments.
• Security & Compliance
• Design for security-by-default (encryption in transit/at rest, secrets handling, IAM), fraud management, and regulatory adherence (AML/KYC, PCI-DSS, PSD2).
• Integration & APIs
• Define and govern API-first integrations (REST, events) across wallets, charging/billing, merchant acquiring, remittance, identity, and risk engines; ensure open ecosystem extensibility.
• Cloud & Infrastructure
• Guide target-state on Kubernetes, hybrid/public cloud, networking, and observability; ensure HA/DR, performance, and cost efficiency.
• Data & Reliability
• Architect for auditability, idempotency, exactly-once / at-least-once processing where required; design data retention and lineage.
• Delivery Governance
• Produce and maintain HLD/LLD, sequence diagrams, interface specs, security and compliance traceability; run design reviews and gate approvals.
• Stakeholder Leadership
• Partner with product, engineering, operations, security, compliance, and customer teams; provide pre-sales support (RFI/RFP, SoW scoping) and solution costing.
• Continuous Improvement
• Benchmark platform capabilities; drive roadmap inputs for scale, security, and ecosystem growth aligned to Ericsson Mobile Financial Services strategy.

The skills you bring

• 8+ years in solution architecture for fintech/payments/mobile money; 3+ years leading complex integrations across telecom/financial ecosystems.
• Hands-on with API-first platforms; experience with EWP / wallet platforms strongly preferred.

• Expertise in cloud-native design: Kubernetes, service mesh, ingress/egress, secrets, CI/CD, SRE, and observability.
• Security/regulatory: PCI-DSS, AML/KYC, PSD2/Open Banking, data privacy; threat modeling and fraud controls.
• Integration: REST/JSON, events/streaming, message queues, OAuth/OIDC; patterns (saga, outbox, CQRS).
• Data: relational/NoSQL, ledgering, reconciliation, reporting/BI.
• Strong communication; able to simplify complexity for non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred skills:
