Experience: 10–15 years of technology experience within Financial Services, Capital Markets, Asset Management or a related environment.

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced Technical Architect – Regulatory Reporting to provide hands-on technical leadership, solution design and engineering direction for Regulatory Reporting applications.

The role requires a strong combination of transaction regulatory reporting domain knowledge and hands-on technology expertise, with primary focus on EMIR, MiFID II / MiFIR, ASIC Derivative Transaction Reporting, SFTR and FinFraG.

The successful candidate will lead the design and implementation of scalable, resilient and supportable regulatory reporting solutions, translating regulatory and business requirements into technology solutions while providing technical direction to the development team.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role. The candidate should be comfortable moving between architecture and solution design, code and database reviews, data analysis, performance troubleshooting, production investigations and mentoring developers.

Strong hands-on experience is required across Oracle Database, SQL, PL/SQL, Unix/Linux and Shell Scripting, together with good working experience in Java and Python and experience processing high-volume transaction and reference data.

The candidate should also be comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate engineering activities such as code development, analysis, testing, documentation and troubleshooting while following appropriate technology and security controls.

Key Responsibilities

Solution & Technical Architecture

• Own the end-to-end technical architecture for Regulatory Reporting applications and platforms.

• Translate regulatory and business requirements into robust technical designs and implementation solutions.

• Define application, integration, database, batch-processing and reporting architecture.

• Provide architecture guidance for new regulatory implementations, regulatory rewrites and changes to existing reporting obligations.

• Develop architecture designs covering data ingestion → transformation → validation/enrichment → reporting → reconciliation → exception management .

• Design solutions capable of processing large volumes of transaction and reference data while maintaining performance, scalability and reliability.

• Lead modernization of legacy regulatory-reporting applications and identify opportunities to simplify and automate existing processes.
