Enterprise and Solution Architect

Project overview

This is a contract Enterprise and Solution Architect role in a banking context, covering core banking, payment hubs and ISO 20022. The key requirements are event-driven integration and API design, assessing vendor platforms against enterprise architecture standards, producing realistic sizing estimates with engineers, and working through architecture governance and design authorities. TOGAF or an equivalent framework, ledger integration involving tokens or DLT, and instant or 24/7 payments are strong advantages rather than stated must-haves. The structured experience band is 6–8 years, and the location is London.

The work mode is not specified in the description.
