About our team

Meet the Standardized Corporate Loans team. Our role is to evolve end-to-end loan origination and credit assessment processes with increased self-service and straight-through-processing that supports both regulatory requirements and future business capabilities.

Main responsibilities in this role:

  • Define the architecture runway for the Standardised Corporate Loans Hub and lead the design of complex, business-critical software solutions
  • Translate business and functional requirements into scalable, robust, and compliant technical solutions
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to development teams on architecture decisions, design principles, and best practices
  • Drive adoption of modern architectural approaches, including microservices, monolith, and event-driven architectures
  • Conduct architecture and design reviews, identify technical risks early, and actively drive mitigation actions

Who you are

This is the right role for you if you are a senior technical leader who thrives on combining hands-on development with strategic architectural thinking, enjoys guiding teams through complex technical challenges, and is passionate about building scalable, maintainable solutions in a regulated enterprise environment.

Your background and skills include:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
  • 10+ years of experience in software development, including experience leading or guiding development teams
  • Strong hands-on experience with software architecture and system design
  • Proven experience designing distributed systems and service-based architectures
  • Experience with workflow engines or Business Process Management (BPM) platforms and cloud platforms

Nice-to-have qualifications:

  • Experience with event streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience with workflow orchestration platforms such as Pega, Camunda, Temporal, Zeebe, or similar
  • Experience designing highly scalable enterprise systems

What we offer

Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in how we work and how we make decisions – and that we hope you share with us.

People are driven by many different factors. For some, it's to take their career to the next level. For others, it's to break new ground within their area of expertise – with us, you will always move forward.
