Senior Software Engineer
Salary: ₱160,000 – ₱240,000 per month
Role Overview
We are seeking experienced Senior Software Engineer who can independently lead end-to-end implementation of enterprise-scale risk platforms for banking clients.
This role requires a hands-on leader who combines solution architecture capability, strong delivery governance, and customer-facing leadership to drive successful project execution from pre-sales through go-live and stabilization.
You are expected to own the technical delivery outcome, not just coordinate—covering solution design, integration architecture, implementation strategy, and production readiness.
Key Responsibilities
1. End-to-End Technical Delivery Ownership
• Lead full lifecycle delivery: solution design → implementation → integration → UAT → go-live → stabilization
• Act as the technical authority for customer projects, ensuring scalable and production-ready solutions
• Drive on-time, on-quality delivery under complex, multi-stakeholder environments (client IT, vendors, partners)
2. Solution & Architecture Design
• Translate business requirements into end-to-end technical solutions
• Design architectures across:
o Risk decision engines and rule systems
o Data integration (batch/real-time APIs, streaming)
o Distributed systems (Kafka, Redis, ES, etc.)
o On-premise / private cloud / hybrid deployments
• Define high availability, performance, and security architecture aligned with banking standards
3. Implementation & Integration Leadership
• Lead integration with client systems: core banking, LOS, payment systems, data platforms
• Define data models, API contracts, and system interaction patterns
• Guide teams on customization vs. standard product usage, ensuring maintainability and scalability
4. Customer Engagement & Stakeholder Management
• Act as primary technical interface to client architects, CIO teams, and delivery partners
• Drive technical workshops, architecture reviews, and design approvals
• Manage expectations and resolve complex technical escalations
5. Delivery Governance & Risk Control
• Establish delivery plans, milestones, and technical checkpoints
• Identify and mitigate risks in performance, scalability, and integration complexity
• Ensure production readiness, including deployment, rollback, monitoring, and support handover
6. Post-Go-Live & Continuous Improvement
• Support stabilization phase and critical issue resolution
• Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and system optimization
• Contribute to delivery best practices, reusable architectures, and standardization
Required Qualifications
Experience
• 8-15+ years in enterprise software delivery / system integration
• Proven experience delivering banking or financial systems (risk, fraud, credit, payments, or core systems)
• Demonstrated ability to lead large-scale implementation projects independently
Technical Expertise
• Strong architecture experience in:
o Distributed systems and microservices
o API design (REST/gRPC)
o Data processing (real-time & batch)
• Familiar with technologies such as:
o Kafka / MQ, Redis, Elasticsearch
o Relational & NoSQL databases
o Cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and on-prem deployments
• Solid understanding of:
o System integration patterns
o High availability & scalability design
o Security and compliance in banking environments
Delivery & Leadership
• Strong project execution capability with clear ownership mindset
• Ability to manage cross-functional and cross-cultural teams
• Excellent problem-solving and escalation handling skills
Communication
• Strong client-facing communication skills
• Ability to engage with senior stakeholders (Architects, CIO, CTO)
• Fluent in English (additional local language is a plus)
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience in risk control, anti-fraud, or decision engine platforms
• Background in consulting firms or SI companies
• Familiarity with regulatory and compliance requirements in Southeast Asia banking
• Experience working in multi-country delivery environments
