Global Transaction Banking is rebuilding its client-facing technology from the ground up - micro-frontends, real-time APIs, Host to Host and event-driven connectivity across a modern cloud-native stack.

As Channels Architect
, you will drive the end-to-end technical architecture for how GTB products are built and experienced - from the API contracts that power them, to the micro-frontend shells that deliver them, to the connectivity layer that connects them to the world. You will set the architecture that two pods (UIs and Connectivity) build against, partner closely with the Data and Platform architects, and be the technical authority the product and design teams turn to when tradeoffs need to be made.

This is a hands-on architecture role. You will be in the code, in the design reviews, and in the room where product direction is set.

Define and steward the full stack architecture across GTB's client experience and connectivity layers - ensuring every surface is composable, every integration is reliable, and every engineering team can ship with confidence.

• Define the micro-frontend architecture - shell application, module federation strategy, shared component system, and client-side state model.
• Set standards for performance, accessibility, and design system alignment across all user-facing surfaces.
• Own the frontend platform: build tooling, testing frameworks, CI/CD integration, and developer experience for frontend teams.
• Partner with Product and UX to evaluate feasibility, surface constraints early, and drive decisions that balance speed with quality.

• Design and govern the API layer - RESTful and GraphQL contracts, versioning strategy, gateway configuration, and consumer-driven contract testing.
• Own the connectivity architecture connecting GTB systems to internal platforms, partner networks, and third-party services.
• Define patterns for event-driven integration, message routing, and protocol translation across diverse connectivity requirements.
• Ensure API security, rate limiting, observability, and reliability are first-class concerns.

• Establish and maintain full stack engineering standards, reference architectures, and reusable patterns across the UIs and Connectivity.
• Lead architectural reviews, spike investigations, and critical design decisions.
• Drive adoption of engineering best practices: automated testing, observability, feature flagging, progressive delivery.
• Mentor Staff and Senior Engineers; grow architectural thinking across the teams.

This role operates within the enterprise architecture governance model and is expected to lead and represent the Channels domain through all EA touchpoints.
