  • · Technical Leadership: Deliver high-quality, secure solutions using GCP cloud-native services, and event- driven patterns. Architect GCP workloads using services such as BigQuery, Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Vertex AI, Looker, and Cloud Composer.
  • · Cloud, Platform & Integration: Apply strong understanding of Kubernetes, service mesh, ingress, workload identity, and network/security boundaries.
  • · Design Patterns: Design and implement API and service integration patterns using Istio, Apigee, and modern microservice standards. Integrate enterprise AuthN/AuthZ patterns (OIDC, IAM roles, workload identities, Apigee security policies)
  • · Governance & Compliance: Ensure solutions meet strict regulatory, risk management, and security standards.
  • · Collaboration: Work with engineering, data science, and business teams to translate requirements into actionable, high-level designs.

  • Architecture & Stakeholder Leadership: Design orchestrations and technical patterns for agentic AI , LLM based systems, RAG, and workflow orchestration. Ability to articulate trade-offs, lead design decisions, and shape technical direction.
  • Communication: Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts in the design forums and participate in architectural governance (ARC, AWG) and represent the lab’s technical direction.
  • Background: Experience in the banking or financial industry is beneficial.

Beneficial Skills

  • Experience with Vertex AI or other model lifecycle tooling.
  • Knowledge of LangChain/LangGraph, RAG patterns, and AI workflow orchestration.
  • Experience in multi cloud (GCP/Azure/AWS) or hybrid environments.
  • Understanding of enterprise integration and event architecture.
