Senior - Solution Architecture Lead (Java, Backend)

The Hook

Are you a Java Architect who loves designing large scale backend systems?

A large FinTech pioneer is expanding their core architecture team. This is an in-house role where you will bridge the gap between business logic and high-performance backend systems.

What You'll Do (The Impact):
- System Design & Evolution: Translate complex business requirements into scalable, high-quality backend architectural designs and end-to-end technical blueprints.
- Framework Optimization: Drive the evolution of internal software frameworks, promoting engineering best practices and integration standards across multiple project teams.
- Tech Mentorship: Either start as an individual contributor or a Technical Manager for 3-4 people while fostering a culture of continuous improvement (including the smart adoption of modern AI development tools).
- Environment Stewardship: Oversee server provisioning, configuration, and environment patching (Physical/VM) to ensure smooth delivery pipelines for dev teams.

What We're Looking For:
- Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline.
- The Experience: 6+ years in backend development using Java, best preferred Spring Framework. Demonstrate strong architecture mindset with system revamps or infrastructure modernization track record.
- Experience in Kubernetes (k8s) and container services, preferrable in AWS/ Azure
- Strong in RDMS e.g. PostgreSQL (Great if the candidate has experience in migrating Oracle DB to RDMS)
- Hands-on experience AI tools adoption or facilitate AI-enabled SDLC. Experience with AI coding assistants, enterprise AI platforms, LLM and RAG is a plus
- The Soft Skills: Strong communication skills in English and Cantonese to effectively align with diverse project stakeholders. Self-motivated and fast-paced.
