Senior Solution & Integration Architect - Financial Services (PL6571)

Role Summary Paralucent is seeking a Senior Solution & Integration Architect to define the architecture for a high-volume, regulated workflow and case-management platform. You will design component boundaries, data flows, trust zones, identity, integrations, resilience and observability while balancing enterprise reuse, configurable capability and targeted custom development. You will also provide practical options when source systems offer limited or no APIs. What You'll Do - Own logical, deployment, integration, data-flow and security architecture for the solution. - Classify components as enterprise reuse, configured capability, reusable accelerator, custom development, third-party service or AI service. - Design integration patterns across APIs, events/messages, files/batches, content repositories and approved RPA/UI automation. - Define secure cloud/hybrid deployment, network boundaries, encryption, secrets, service identities, RBAC and segregation of duties. - Design audit, evidence lineage, records/retention, legal-hold, monitoring, resilience, backup and disaster-recovery patterns. - Establish failure-handling patterns for unavailable, incomplete or conflicting source-system information. - Guide selection and safe integration of OCR, document-intelligence and AI/model services, including data exchanged, retention and fallback. - Partner with engineering leads to keep customizations maintainable, testable, upgradeable and transferable to client teams. - Support architecture governance, threat modelling, technical deep dives and production-readiness reviews. What Success Looks Like - Architecture decisions are explicit, traceable and approved before they become delivery blockers. - High-risk integrations have feasible primary and fallback patterns. - Security, privacy, auditability, resilience and records requirements are embedded by design. - The implementation minimizes unnecessary vendor lock-in and supplier custody of sensitive data. - Engineering teams can implement the architecture consistently using documented standards and reference patterns.
