What are the responsibilities and job description for the Enterprise Architect position at VySystems?
As an Enterprise Architect, you are the bridge between executive vision and engineering reality. You will
lead the modernization of a complex banking ecosystem, transforming a 12–17 year legacy of Java, .NET,
and Mainframe systems into a lean, cloud-native powerhouse. Your success isn't measured by the
diagrams you draw, but by the decisions you influence and the outcomes you deliver.
Key Responsibilities
• Strategic Influence: Navigate a complex matrix organization to drive architectural alignment. You
must be able to win "hearts and minds," convincing senior leadership and engineering teams to
adopt modern patterns without having direct reporting authority over them.
• Modernization Blueprinting: Define the path for "Application Re-architecture." This includes
moving from monolithic banking cores to event-driven, domain-centric architectures.
• High-Stakes Presentation: Translate "Architectural Debt" into "Business Risk." You will regularly
present to the CTO, CISO, and Line-of-Business heads, simplifying complex technical trade-offs
into actionable executive decisions.
• Outcome-Oriented Governance: Move beyond "check-the-box" governance. Establish guardrails
that empower developers to move fast while ensuring the bank remains secure, compliant, and
resilient.
• Cross-Domain Orchestration: Synchronize the modernization of Apps and Infra. Ensure that
when we refactor a payment service, the underlying Cloud Landing Zone and Data Strategy are
ready to support it.
Key Requirements
• The Master Communicator: You possess world-class presentation skills. Whether it’s a
whiteboard session with developers or a formal deck for the Board, your "narrative" is always
compelling and clear.
• Driven & Outcome-Focused: You are frustrated by "architecture for architecture's sake." You are
obsessed with seeing your designs running in production and delivering measurable business
value (e.g., reduced TCO, faster MTTR, or increased deployment frequency).
• Banking Domain Expert: Deep understanding of the BFSI landscape, including regulatory
compliance (FFIEC/SOC2), high-availability requirements, and the nuances of core banking
integration.
