Role Overview
:
The Regulatory Reporting Technical Architect is a senior hands-on role responsible for the design, evaluation, and delivery of a Proof of Concept (POC) for a next-generation regulatory reporting architecture. The initiative aims to replace an existing vendor solution with a hybrid model combining an internalized mapping engine and a modern technology stack. The architect will lead end-to-end technical decisions - from data modeling and pipeline design to front-end visualization and AI-assisted validation - while ensuring the solution meets regulatory compliance, auditability, and data lineage requiremen
ts.
