The Senior Solution/Enterprise Architect will lead the end‐to‐end architectural design for a major SA‐CCR / Basel III Endgame programme. This includes defining the target architecture, building scalable Databricks patterns and ensuring regulatory‐grade governance, lineage and auditability across exposure and capital calculations.

Your Role:

• Lead the end‐to‐end SA‐CCR architecture, defining the framework for RC, PFE and EAD calculations, including netting sets, supervisory factors and collateral/CSA logic.
• Design a modern Databricks architecture using Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and Spark/PySpark to support versioned, reproducible and regulator‐defensible exposure calculations.
• Develop high‐performance compute pipelines that support intraday recalculation, scenario testing and rapid exposure analytics across complex derivatives portfolios.
• Establish strong governance and auditability, embedding lineage, versioning, entitlements, and evidence‐ready data flows throughout the architecture.
• Architect an AI‐ready platform, enabling explainable, controlled and reproducible AI‐assisted recalculation and optimisation, without compromising regulatory expectations.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across Risk, Quants, Technology, Capital/Treasury, Security and Front Office to align architecture with regulatory, operational and strategic requirements.
• Own architectural deliverables, including target state blueprints, integration patterns, data contracts, governance standards and audit artefacts.
• Support programme milestones, including parallel run, validation, remediation and optimisation, delivering architectural leadership with minimal onboarding.

The Profile We’re Looking For:

• 7+ years of experience in regulatory technology, risk systems or large‐scale data platforms within financial services.
• Deep understanding of SA‐CCR (RC, PFE, EAD), exposure methodology, netting sets, supervisory parameters and collateral/CSA design.
• Strong Databricks engineering capability, including Delta Lake versioning, Unity Catalog governance, Spark/PySpark optimisation and secure data architecture.
• Experience designing governed, audit‐ready systems, with a focus on lineage, reproducibility, evidence trails and internal/external audit requirements.
• AI‐related architectural experience, including explainable optimisation techniques, governed model deployment, versioning, RBAC and deterministic output controls.
• Strong stakeholder and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex architectural and regulatory concepts into actionable designs for diverse audiences.
• Self‐directed and delivery‐focused, able to operate autonomously in complex environments and produce polished, regulator‐ready documentation.
