Job Description
Director of Solution Architecture, Capital Markets
WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY?
The Capital Markets architecture team at RBC is looking for a solution architect. The central architecture team is not aligned to a specific domain within markets but rather supports the entire department. As such you’ll have broad exposure to all asset classes and aspects of the business front to back. Similarly, you’ll have exposure to a wide breadth of technologies and design patterns reflecting the varying needs and aspects of the business.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Consult on major initiatives within CM (Capital Markets) to help design solutions that meet the specific needs of the delivery while also progressing the broader architectural strategy of the department (align with architecture principles, modernize and simplify the estate, re-use capabilities/technologies, etc).
Review proposed architectures from CM delivery teams to align specific team requirements to high level goals of CM leadership and the bank. For instance, why are you ordering a physical machine instead of using internal cloud? Why are you using Redis over MemSQL? Why are you pulling X from RBCAppA instead of RBCAppB? Etc..
Help lead an architecture council in which proposed architectures are debated for their merits and scrutinized by a broad set of stakeholders.
Help to form and communicate technology guidance to standardize development of commonly needed capabilities. For instance, figure out what our API strategy should be, document it on confluence, present it to senior leadership, and show dev teams how to implement it.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO SUCCEED?
Must have
Ability to communicate clearly and succinctly
Experienced Lead Developer
Strong understanding of software architecture (patterns, components, etc.)
Strong understanding of capital markets
Experience with multi-asset financing, securities lending, and margin services platforms
Experience with front-to-back data flows across custodial and non-custodial structures
Experience with cross asset position and exposure aggregation
Good understanding of programming (language pros/cons, threading implications, etc.)
Good understanding of data technologies (stores, access patterns, caching, etc.)
Interpersonal skills including the ability to influence others
What’s in it for you?
Work with seasoned veterans of enterprise architecture who can support your growth
Help to shape the direction of capital markets technology at Canada’s biggest bank
Present to senior executives
Access to a world-class training program in financial services
Flexible work/life balance
