Technical Architect II

Overview

Technical Architect II designs and evolves intelligent workflow and automation solutions in an AI-native development environment. This role combines expertise in application architecture, workflow orchestration, and enterprise platforms with AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot) to accelerate solution design, code generation, and SDLC execution.  

The architect will support the Payment BU Workflow Intelligence & Orchestration Initiative, collaborating on client inquiry and payment workflows, while contributing to a Center of Excellence (CoE) for AI-enabled workflow development - delivering scalable, secure, reusable, and AI-augmented solutions while minimizing technical debt and avoiding vendor lock-in.

Responsibilities

• Define architectural standards, patterns, and best practices for workflow platforms, including guardrails for AI-assisted development and code generation.
• Leverage AI tools (Claude, Copilot) to accelerate design, code generation, and documentation, with strong validation and oversight.
• Design scalable, secure, and maintainable workflow solutions aligned to business needs and AI-driven decisioning.
• Define AI-assisted development patterns (prompt design, validation, governance) for workflow behavior and generated code.
• Architect solutions across open-source workflow engines (Temporal.io, Camunda, Flowable, JBPM, Drools) and custom services.
• Design event-driven and service-based architectures using Java-based ecosystems and modern integration patterns.
• Contribute to a Workflow CoE, driving governance, reusability, performance, and AI-native standards.
• Collaborate across product, infrastructure, security, data, and AI teams to integrate AI into workflows and SDLC processes.
• Support CI/CD, DevSecOps, and cloud-native deployments (OpenShift, AWS), including validation of AI-generated code and workflows.
• Provide technical leadership, code/design reviews, and enforce engineering rigor in AI-assisted environments.
