SOLUTION ANALYST

Work Experience

• 5-8 years of experience in solution architecture / systems design for banking or financial services programs.
• • Proven experience on core banking / deposits platforms (CASA/TD) and complex integration landscapes preferred.
• • Hands-on experience with TCS, Finacle, or Fiserv platforms (at least two required)
• • Experience working across multi-stakeholder teams.
• Knowledge Area • Solution architecture methods and artifacts
• • Integration approaches, security fundamentals, and environment/deployment concepts.
• • Non-functional design: performance, resiliency, DR, logging/monitoring, and supportability etc.
• • Banking domain understanding: deposits lifecycle, product parameters, interest, fees, accounting impacts, etc.

Skills

• Strong ability to translate requirements into an implementable architecture and produce clear design documentation.
• • Stakeholder management and facilitation (business, IT, vendor); able to drive decisions and align teams.
• • Analytical problem-solving; able to articulate trade-offs and recommend options clearly.
• • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• • Structured problem-solving and ability to summarize issues and impacts clearly.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• • Translate business requirements into solution architecture covering application components, integration patterns, data flows, and operational considerations.
• • Define and maintain key architecture artifacts: target architecture, HLD/SAD, interface designs (logical), data flow diagrams, deployment view, and architecture decision records.
• • Define and govern non-functional requirements (performance, availability, resiliency, security, DR, observability, maintainability) and ensure they are built into the design.
• • Lead solution design workshops with vendor and stakeholders; review vendor design deliverables and ensure alignment
• • Drive fit-gap at solution level and propose pragmatic design options/alternatives with clear trade-offs (cost, timeline, risk, operability).
• • Coordinate architecture dependencies across channels, surrounding systems, and enabling capabilities (IAM, logging/monitoring, middleware/API gateway, batch scheduling).
• • Provide design guidance to Build and Integration teams; ensure functional requirements are implementable and traceable to design and test coverage.
• • Support environment planning and release readiness: ensure deployment architecture, environment configuration needs, and integration connectivity are defined early.
• Participate in test strategy/design from an architecture lens (SIT/UAT, performance testing, DR testing); support defect triage for design-related issues.
