Architect

'We are looking for an Integration SME to support a core banking transformation program for a client based in the

Philippines. Unlike the module-specific SME roles, this position owns integration design end-to-end across all core

banking domains — Payments, Trade Finance, Lending, GL, and Markets — ensuring a coherent, well-documented

integration architecture between the core banking platform and its upstream/downstream ecosystem.

This is a core banking implementation role. The candidate must have hands-on, end-to-end experience delivering core

banking transformation programs (not advisory-only exposure), and must be comfortable working directly with product

vendors to challenge, validate, and finalize the To-Be system design.

The candidate should be able to work across product SMEs, business stakeholders, the Solution Architecture team,

and platform vendors to design, document, and obtain sign-off on integration solutions, and should be comfortable

being the cross-domain integration authority on the program.

• Own preparation of Interface Specification Documents (ISDs) and integration architecture artifacts, and drive

• Support cutover planning and hypercare across all integrated domains through go-live.
