Deloitte's Banking-as-a-Service Offering

Built on the backs of our digital banking practice and decades supporting clients of all scale making the hard decisions of who to partner with, where to start, and how improve time to value. You can't solve today's challenges by focusing on single layer (experience, cloud, core) nor on a single vendor partner - so we've built an ecosystem solution that has the hard parts of integration, data standards, and core configuration already developed to enable banking solutions. We do this by plugging in fintech partners and existing capabilities (e.g., cards, BSA-AML.) from a single framework that allows our clients launch new propositions at speed.

Deloitte's BaaS offering is always innovating and pushing next gen banking capabilities for our clients. We are looking for a Senior Solution Architect to technically drive the development and delivery of our BaaS platform by driving work across engineering teams to design, build, and deliver digital banking solutions to clients. You'll be partnering with the client and associated 3rd party vendors to build the core foundation, pipelines, and infrastructure of our BaaS solution throughout the development cycles of designing, testing, deploying, and maintaining IT architecture. Additionally, you'll be providing thought leadership around architecture best practices, and helping the engineering teams fully embrace ownership of their applications and services.
