Application Developer-II-SUPPORT SERVICES-CTO - In House Engineering

Location: Hyderabad, Telangana, India

Role Overview

We are seeking a senior‑level technologist with a strong hands‑on development background to lead engineering ownership and modernization across vendor / OEM platforms that power mission‑critical banking systems.

The role requires a practitioner‑leader who combines modern software engineering practices with deep expertise in platform engineering, API‑led integration, security, performance, and lifecycle governance within a regulated banking environment.

The incumbent will act as a technology anchor—driving platform stability, modernization, and regulatory compliance while partnering closely with OEMs, internal engineering teams, and control functions.

 

Key Responsibilities

Engineering & Development

  • Design, build, and enhance applications using OEM frameworks, toolkits, and platform‑specific SDKs.
  • Own the end‑to‑end Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) including requirements analysis, solution design, development, testing, deployment, and documentation.
  • Design and develop APIs, microservices, and integration workflows aligned with enterprise architecture and reusability standards.
  • Review and guide technical designs and code to ensure maintainability, scalability, and security.

Platform & Ecosystem Integration

  • Lead integration of vendor/OEM platforms with core banking systems, middleware, and enterprise services.
  • Partner with Infrastructure, DevSecOps, AWS Cloud, and Security teams (IRM / ORM) to deliver scalable and compliant solutions.
  • Own remediation of VA/CA, AppSec, Checkmarx, and other security findings, ensuring timely closure and audit readiness.
  • Drive platform upgrades, patching, certificate/key rotation, and roadmap alignment in coordination with OEM and Cloud teams.
  • Provide technical oversight on CI/CD pipelines (preferably Azure DevOps) and deployment automation.

Security, Compliance & Risk

  • Ensure strict adherence to change management, application governance, and audit controls throughout the application lifecycle.
  • Act as the primary technology SPOC during regulatory, audit, and compliance reviews for owned platforms.
  • Troubleshoot complex defects, performance bottlenecks, and stability issues in collaboration with internal teams and vendors.

Performance Engineering & Quality

  • Define and enforce standards for unit, integration, and regression testing, including automation and coverage thresholds.
  • Leverage observability insights to support production readiness, go‑live monitoring, and post‑deployment stabilization.
  • Optimize OEM platforms for availability, latency, throughput, and resilience, ensuring alignment with business SLAs.
  • Drive high‑availability designs with a clear understanding of infrastructure and licensing cost implications, performing cost–benefit analysis prior to changes.

Production Excellence & Continuous Improvement

  • Lead production incident management, major incident calls, and root cause analysis (RCA) with preventive action tracking.
  • Maintain accurate technical documentation, version control standards, and knowledge repositories.
  • Leverage AI‑assisted development and productivity tools to improve delivery speed and quality.
  • Drive modernization initiatives, including re‑engineering, API enablement, cloud adoption, and process automation.
