It starts with a mission, and our mission is to disrupt every small business owner’s struggles. Time is scarce, and decision making can be hard when visibility is limited. Today everything is spreadsheets with manual processes. Our small business community deserves more. A single piece of data can change everything. Access to timely, relevant, and accurate insights to allow confident decision making; that is our dream for each small business owner. 2UniFi is designed to bring a complete financial platform to each small business’s fingertips. Join us as we build a new vision at a strong and dynamic company. Help us create the future of banking. This type of position is ideal for someone looking to build a career in finance, banking, and technology. We will provide you with training and coaching throughout your onboarding experience, as well as on the job. As you demonstrate success, there will be opportunities for advancement within our organization. The duties of a Technical Architect require a high degree of specialized expertise and skill in maintaining established standards of quality and accuracy. Drive, determination and a self-disciplined approach to achieving results that meet these established criteria are necessary for successful job performance. The job environment is structured, and job expectations are clear. While the pace of the work is faster than average, quality is never compromised. The focus of communication and organizational relationships is based on technical expertise. The work requires specialized technical problem solving and ingenuity while working within approved organizational systems and technology, and the demonstration of the values of integrity, quality and caution. New ideas and concepts are also important but will be quickly, yet carefully analyzed and tested before communication and adoption. If the job involves managing others, there is a need for someone who can exercise the necessary authority to assure policies and procedures are followed and time frames are met. At the same time, it will be necessary to give subordinates structured opportunity to develop their own expertise and capability for quality work to assure effective delegation and shared responsibility for work output. It is expected that coaching and training support for achieving effective delegation will be required. The position encompasses a defined span of control and opportunity for someone who engenders trust, demonstrates a sense of urgency and assures consistent achievement of quality standards. The work requires making decisions that support company guidelines authoritatively and quickly. As a Technical Architect, you will be pivotal in shaping the future of our technology landscape. You will be integral to our mission of transforming complex financial business needs into innovative technical solutions. This position requires a well-rounded and extensive knowledge base across the entire technology spectrum within the FinTech industry. You will need to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of front-end (multi-channel: web, mobile, IVR, chat, APIs) and back-end technologies, integration frameworks & patterns, API standards, data management and governance, various cloud technologies, and IT security standards. More than just familiarity with specific tools or platforms, you will be expected to possess a deep appreciation for the technology landscape—encompassing a wide range of solutions and approaches that can be leveraged to meet our unique business challenges. You will be expected to not only quickly learn several of the technologies that we are implementing but also demonstrate leadership while creating solutions around these technologies. Your role will be critical in navigating this landscape, identifying the most effective and efficient technologies and patterns to address our needs, and ensuring that our solutions are both innovative and aligned with industry best practices. It is mandatory for you to have expertise into as many of the following technologies/tools as possible: React JS, Node.js, Next.js, Python, FastAPI, Azure Cloud services (Azure Events Hub, Azure Events Grid), AWS cloud services (Lambda, ECS, SES, S3), Auth0, containerization, IT security standards, and various banking solutions (Ledgering, Money movement, Transactions).
