As the Principal Software Architect, Finance Technology Platform, you will serve as a technical authority defining the vision and architecture for a next-generation, multi-tenant, AI-native finance platform. You will design a robust infrastructure that automates end-to-end financial processing, including transaction ingestion, validation, enrichment, settlement, and reconciliation. The role involves building an agentic foundation where AI agents perform complex reasoning tasks like interpreting business intent and resolving exceptions while maintaining strict auditability and SOX controls. You will develop the platform as a shared substrate featuring a canonical data model, saga-based orchestration, and a sub-ledger. Key technical requirements include expertise in distributed systems, event-sourced architecture, and the modern agentic stack, including vector search, graph-based orchestration, and prompt engineering. You will ensure financial correctness through deterministic paths while managing high-volume transaction processing and complex data ingestion pipelines.
