On-site Position Overview Dicetek LLC is seeking an experienced Banking Integration Architect to define and govern integration architecture for a large-scale core banking transformation programme in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The role focuses on establishing a target integration architecture built around Banking Industry Architecture Network (BIAN) service domains, modular APIs, microservices and event-driven integration patterns. The successful candidate will bring extensive banking integration and architecture experience, with strong knowledge of the BIAN Service Landscape, semantic APIs, API management, Kafka and cloud-native technologies.

A key responsibility is to guide the transition from legacy Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) services toward reusable, modular integration capabilities while maintaining appropriate standards for security, resilience, observability and regulatory alignment. The position also involves applying AI-assisted architecture, documentation and modern software engineering practices to support efficient and consistent solution delivery.
