About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Azure Event Grid Engineer to design and implement event-driven integration patterns that expose Core Banking data to the enterprise. This role is pivotal in enabling real-time, secure, and scalable data exchange across multiple business domains using Confluent Kafka, and related services. You will ensure all event contracts align with our Canonical Data Model and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles, supporting a consistent and governed enterprise integration strategy.

Requirements

• 7+ years in distributed systems or integration engineering; 3+ years hands-on experience with Enterprise Event Grids.
• Expertise in event-driven architecture and Azure services: Event Grid, Service Bus, Event Hubs, Functions, AKS, Logic Apps, API Management and Confluent Kafka.
• Strong experience with Canonical Data Models and Domain Modeling (DDD), including event storming and context mapping.
• Proven ability to integrate with Core Banking platforms and financial systems.
• Solid understanding of security, compliance, and data governance in financial services (PCI DSS, GLBA, ISO 20022).
• Ability to lead projects, mentor team members, and contribute to the development of engineering policies, standards, and procedures.
• Advanced written and verbal communication skills for articulating technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, a related field or the equivalent combination of education, training or experience.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with CloudEvents 1.0, schema registries, and contract testing.
• Experience with financial messaging standards and regulatory frameworks.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions) and infrastructure-as-code.

Responsibilities

• Architect and manage Event Grid Domains, topics, and subscriptions for enterprise-scale event distribution.
• Implement secure, resilient event pipelines leveraging Confluent Kafka, Azure Functions, Azure Kubernetes services, Logic Apps, Service Bus/Event Hubs, and API Management.
• Define and enforce canonical event schemas and domain models for Core Banking data, ensuring consistency and interoperability across consuming systems.
• Collaborate with domain architects and product teams to apply DDD practices (event storming, bounded contexts) for modeling banking events.
• Integrate with Core Banking systems and expose events to enterprise consumers while meeting compliance and audit requirements.
• Establish observability and reliability patterns: telemetry, retries, dead-lettering, idempotency, and schema versioning.
• Champion event-driven architecture standards and governance across Cloud Core and enterprise teams.
