As a Technology Lead, you will own the end‑to‑end design, delivery, and stability of the bank’s platforms, integrations, and internal applications. You will ensure resilient, secure, and well‑controlled services connecting core systems including Mambu, nCino, Salesforce, D365, Corezoid, and internal platforms.
