Manager – Banking Platform Architecture
Role highlights
- Design cross-domain platform capabilities (APIs, events, identity, observability).
- Establish interoperability patterns and domain contracts across the estate.
- Guide reliability, security and cost controls to enable AI-ready scaling.
The opportunity
At EY, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. We help Financial Services clients navigate complex, technology-enabled transformations. If you’re excited by solving hard problems in a fast-moving environment, this is where your expertise makes a real impact.
Role purpose
Design and evolve the platform capabilities that connect domains and enable safe scaling of digital and AI on top of modernised cores. Define interoperability patterns, guardrails and reusable platform services to accelerate delivery with control.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Define platform services: API gateway, event mesh, identity/access, reference data, observability and developer tooling.
- Establish API/event patterns and domain contracts across core, channels, ledger, risk and data platforms.
- Contribute to technology strategy (build/buy, cloud/on-prem) and IT operating-model changes that improve the business of IT.
- Guide teams on reliability, security, compliance and cost; partner with TMOs on release governance and controls.
- Shape and deliver scalable, resilient, end-to-end solutions, ensuring designs are fully considered, robust and aligned to agreed architectural standards.
- Act as the conduit between business and technology functions; translate outcomes into clear design options and actionable plans.
- Provide high-quality guidance and documentation to enable a rapid, secure path from design to build/run.
- Contribute to business development: shape proposals, provide solution credibility in pursuits, and support mobilisation of wins.
- Develop people and communities of practice; coach junior colleagues and embed reusable patterns, assets and playbooks.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
