About the Client:
Our client is a global leader in digital banking infrastructure. Their cloud-native, API-first platform is redefining how banks of all sizes deliver services to customers — from core banking to payments, regulatory reporting, and customer experience. With operations in more than 25 countries, they partner with both established Tier 1 institutions and challenger banks that need modern, scalable systems to compete in today’s open banking ecosystem. They pride themselves on technical excellence, compliance expertise, and customer-centricity.

The Role:
The Solutions Architect role is a critical function that sits between sales, product, and engineering. You’ll work directly with senior stakeholders inside major European banks, translating business objectives into scalable, compliant, and technically robust solution designs. This is not just about drawing up architectures — it’s about becoming a trusted advisor, guiding banks through the complexities of digital transformation and helping them adopt cloud-native technology with confidence. You’ll influence both pre-sales engagements and delivery projects, ensuring that the solutions proposed are realistic, scalable, and aligned to the client’s long-term strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead workshops with client stakeholders to capture business requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
Develop detailed architectural blueprints for SaaS deployments across digital banking and payments.
Provide technical leadership during RFPs, ensuring responses showcase the platform’s capabilities in a compelling, compliant way.
Act as a subject matter expert on EU regulations (PSD2, MiFID II) and ensure all proposed solutions align with regulatory frameworks.
Collaborate closely with engineering to validate and refine solution designs.
Advise clients on best practices in open banking, cloud adoption, and API-led integration.
Support internal teams by sharing field insights, influencing product roadmap and delivery models.
Mentor junior solution consultants and support regional pre-sales teams.

Candidate Profile:

5+ years’ experience in solution architecture or enterprise architecture, ideally in financial services.
Strong technical knowledge of APIs, microservices, and cloud-native architecture (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Demonstrated experience designing solutions for digital banking, payments, or core systems.
Understanding of regulatory frameworks in Europe, particularly PSD2 and MiFID II.
Ability to operate confidently with both technical and business stakeholders.
Excellent communication skills in English; fluency in German highly advantageous.
Strong analytical mindset, able to simplify complexity for client decision-making.

Why Apply:

This is a chance to work on high-impact projects that are genuinely reshaping the European banking landscape. You’ll engage directly with top-tier clients, gain exposure to cutting-edge technology, and have the satisfaction of designing solutions that power millions of customer transactions daily. The role also offers strong career progression, with pathways into senior technical leadership roles across the region.
