This role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, giving you ownership over how exceptions, approvals, and entitlements are managed at enterprise scale.

• Design exception and case management workflows, covering intake, validation, case creation, allocation, and resolution tracking.

• Develop workflow orchestration using tools such as Camunda or Flowable to enable dynamic routing, task assignment, escalations, and SLA management.

• Build configurable maker-checker approval frameworks that enforce multi-level approvals, segregation of duties, and delegation policies.

• Implement entitlement and governance controls, including role- and attribute-based access, fine-grained UI permissions, and full audit trails.

• Design event-driven integrations with Kafka to support asynchronous processing, real-time notifications, and ServiceNow connectivity.

• Build high-volume React and TypeScript interfaces, including dashboards and task inboxes, that give users clear visibility into their work.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 6+ years of experience in applications development, and managing complex technical projects within financial services or a similarly regulated industry.

• Hands-on proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, with a track record of architecting secure, scalable microservices, REST APIs and shared platform services consumed across multiple enterprise applications.

• Experience with workflow orchestration engines such as Camunda, Flowable, or other BPMN-based tools, including dynamic routing, task assignment, escalations and SLA management.

• Experience designing maker-checker approval frameworks, segregation of duties, entitlement models such as RBAC or ABAC, and audit trail capabilities.

• Event-Driven Architecture: Strong Kafka experience for asynchronous processing, event-based workflows, notifications and ServiceNow integration.

• Proficiency in React and TypeScript for building complex, high-volume enterprise user interfaces.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

• Platform Architecture & Scalability: Proven ability to design secure, resilient, high-performance shared services consumed by multiple enterprise applications.
