Cross platform · Principal to Director
Investment platform solution architect
Design the target platform estate: what the platform owns, what surrounds it, how the data flows.
The work
What you would actually be doing.
Architecture here is a practical craft. You design the estate a client can actually run: platform boundaries, integration patterns, data ownership, cloud footprint and a migration path from what exists today.
On a typical engagement
- Own target architecture and integration patterns for the platform estate
- Choose build, configure or buy with the client, and defend it
- Design data ownership, golden sources and flows
- Guide developers and consultants across workstreams
- Work with vendor architects on roadmap alignment
What you bring
- Architecture on SimCorp, CRD, Aladdin, Calypso or Finastra estates
- Integration, data and cloud architecture depth
- Ability to write architecture people can build from
- Buy side or capital markets domain knowledge
- Comfortable in front of technology leadership
Fit
You do not need every line.
If you have the platform depth and you are the kind of consultant clients ask for by name, talk to us. We would rather have the conversation now and line you up for the right engagement than wait for a perfect match on paper.
Not available until next quarter? Still talk to us. Platform programmes are planned months ahead.
How you join us
Permanent with the firm, or independent.
A permanent role with us
You join the firm as one of our consultants on a permanent employment contract and deliver our engagements with our clients. We can employ you in your own country, in over 120 countries, so joining us does not mean relocating.
Associate through your own company
Prefer to stay independent? We engage your company business to business on a day rate for a defined engagement, with clear scope and invoices paid to terms.
Through a local umbrella
Where local rules make an independent contract awkward, we engage you through a compliant umbrella or agency of record so you can start quickly.
