About the role:

As a Digital Data Solutions Architect, you will define, design, and enable data architectures that support modern digital platforms. You won’t just be making technical decisions—you’ll be setting the strategic direction for scalable, high-performance, API-driven data solutions that power digital banking, fintech, and customer-facing applications.

You will be the driving force behind real-time, distributed data architectures, ensuring data is structured, accessible, and optimized for business capabilities. Your leadership will guide engineering teams and influence stakeholders across the organization, ensuring alignment on best practices and long-term success.

We’re looking for visionary architects—leaders who understand how to design and scale modern data platforms. If that’s you, apply now. Let’s build something transformative.

About the Team:

FIS Digital Technology is on a mission to build the future of financial experiences—faster, smarter, and more connected. We are moving beyond legacy architectures and embracing modern, scalable, and event-driven data ecosystems to support cutting-edge digital solutions. This isn’t just about keeping pace—it’s about leading the transformation of financial technology. And we need forward-thinking architects to help drive it.

Data is the backbone of modern digital experiences, and at FIS, we’re redefining how financial data is structured, accessed, and optimized. Our API-first, cloud-native platform is transforming the way digital applications consume and interact with data, ensuring real-time, secure, and scalable solutions that power next-generation experiences.

What you will be doing:

This isn’t just another architecture role—it’s an opportunity to redefine how digital platforms consume and interact with data. You’ll be:

• Shaping an API-first, event-driven data ecosystem that powers real-time, high-performance digital experiences.

• Architecting scalable, cloud-native data solutions that drive innovation in financial technology.

• Guiding engineering teams and influencing data strategy, ensuring long-term scalability and resilience.

• Delivering real business impact—not just designing systems, but ensuring they are built, adopted, and optimized for success.

• Architect the Future of Data-Driven Digital Experiences – Design and implement scalable, resilient, and event-driven data solutions that power real-time digital interactions.

• Champion API-First & Cloud-Native Data Strategies – Ensure data architectures align with modern cloud-native principles, security best practices, and API-driven ecosystems.

• Define Data Governance Framework & Security Standards – Establish governance models, access control mechanisms, and security frameworks to ensure responsible data management.

• Optimize for Real-Time Data Access – Design operational data stores (ODS), caching strategies, and messaging pipelines to enable high-performance data consumption.

• Lead the Evolution from Legacy to Modern Data Architectures – Drive data migrations and modernize legacy databases into cloud-native, distributed architectures, leveraging Modern Data Architecture principles.

• Standardize & Scale Data Architecture Best Practices – Establish reusable frameworks, reference architectures, and data management patterns tha
