Solutions Architect leading Google Cloud pre - sales engagements at Qodea. Collaborating with commercial teams and technical clients to create innovative cloud solutions.
About the role
- Senior Solutions Architect designing and delivering banking services at Ford Credit. Leading architecture on cloud-native solutions and secure systems for large-scale platforms.
Responsibilities
- Core Banking Architecture (Fiserv DNA): Lead solution architecture and hands-on delivery for core banking capabilities including accounts, transactions, fees, interest, statements, product configuration, and operational workflows—leveraging Fiserv DNA patterns and best practices where applicable.
- Digital Banking Enablement (Create Digital / Nautilus): Design and implement integrations and service layers that enable seamless digital experiences across onboarding, authentication, customer servicing, account maintenance, and payments.
- Cloud-Native Design on GCP: Architect and build highly available, secure, scalable services using Google Cloud Platform (e.g., GKE/Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL/PostgreSQL, Secret Manager, Cloud Logging/Monitoring).
- API & Integration Strategy: Define API standards and integration patterns (REST/event-driven), including canonical models, idempotency, versioning, and performance/SLA requirements across the bank ecosystem and Ford enterprise systems.
- Event-Driven & Microservices Architecture: Drive modernization into well-bounded services using Java and Spring Boot, leveraging asynchronous messaging and domain events where it improves resilience and decoupling.
- Security, Risk & Compliance by Design: Build “secure-by-default” services for a regulated financial environment (PII protection, encryption, audit trails, least-privilege IAM, threat modeling, automated security scanning).
- Engineering Excellence & Delivery Leadership: Set technical direction, review designs and code, and mentor engineers through pairing and coaching. Establish high standards for TDD, CI/CD, quality gates, and operational readiness.
- Reliability & Observability: Define SLIs/SLOs, logging/metrics/tracing standards, and incident response practices. Lead root-cause analysis across distributed systems and drive improvements that prevent recurrence.
- Vendor & Partner Collaboration: Work effectively with Fiserv and internal stakeholders to align implementation choices to platform capabilities, roadmap constraints, and delivery timelines.
- Technical Roadmap Ownership: Translate product needs into reference architectures, implementation plans, and iterative delivery milestones while managing technical debt and long-term scalability.

- Proven experience designing and operating cloud-native systems on GCP (networking/IAM, containerized workloads, observability, CI/CD).
- Strong experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL/SQL), data modeling, transactional integrity, and performance tuning.
- Experience building secure systems handling PII, including encryption, secrets management, auditing, and secure SDLC practices.
- Ability to lead architecture conversations across engineering, product, security, and operations—balancing business outcomes with technical constraints.
