Guided by our brand promise “We Find Ways,” we are committed to delivering easy, reliable, and customer-focused services. Build your career with a trusted industry leader.
Job Summary
As a Section Head, you will be responsible for defining, designing, and governing enterprise-grade API architectures for banking systems, ensuring alignment with the organization’s enterprise architecture blueprint, global banking standards, and regulatory requirements. The role drives API strategy, architecture governance, and technical leadership to deliver secure, scalable, and reusable APIs that enable digital transformation and interoperability across banking platforms.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategic & Governance:
Define the API strategy, roadmap, and governance framework aligned with business objectives and IT goals.
Establish API design standards, best practices, and compliance metrics across the organization.
Maintain an API catalog and promote API-as-a-Product principles for reuse and consistency.
Architecture & Design
Assess the enterprise architecture blueprint and propose target-state API architecture aligned with BIAN service domains and ISO 20022 standards.
Lead API-first design using Open API/Swagger and produce high-level and low-level sequence diagrams, reference architectures, and integration patterns.
Ensure APIs are designed for reusability, modularity, and interoperability across banking domains.
Security & Compliance
Define and enforce API security models (OAuth 2.0, JWT, TLS/mTLS) and ensure compliance with privacy regulations and industry standards (e.g., PCI DSS, GDPR).
Implement secure-by-design principles, including input validation, encryption, and audit logging.
Performance & Scalability
Compute rate limits and throughput based on non-functional requirements for high-volume banking transactions.
Optimize APIs for low latency, high availability, and horizontal scalability; apply resilience patterns (circuit breaker, retry/backoff).
Platform & Operations
Evaluate and manage API management platforms (Apigee, MuleSoft, Kong) and integrate with CI/CD pipelines.
Work with solution architects, product managers, and engineering teams to translate business requirements into technical designs.
Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and training on API design best practices.
Participate in architecture review boards and roadmap planning.
Innovation & Continuous Improvement
Conduct POCs for emerging API technologies and integration strategies.
Monitor API performance and adoption; recommend improvements for scalability and developer experience.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
At least 7 years in software architecture/design, with at least 3 years in API architecture for banking or financial services.
Proven experience in API strategy, design governance, and platform implementation.
Must be willing to work onsite and be assigned in Makati/Ortigas.
