Job Description
The incumbent will lead the technical analysis, microservices integration design, and end‑to‑end delivery of Corporate Internet Banking projects. This role requires strong engineering expertise in API standards, microservices orchestration, event‑driven patterns, and reuse of existing platform components from previous projects.

Responsibilities

1. Technical Delivery & Systems Analysis
Own UOB Corporate Banking channel (infinity program and projects) requirements → solution design → integration → testing → rollout.
Produce engineering‑ready specifications:
API specs (REST/JSON), OpenAPI/Swagger definitions
Microservices interface contracts, event schemas, callback payloads
Sequence diagrams, state machines, mapping specs, error models
Define end‑to‑end orchestration flows for:
Pre-Payment initiation, acceptance, expiry, rejection
Entitlement and Auth Matrix lifecycle events
Template, Past Payment, Bene Master
Digital assets flows (wallet mgmt), Blockchain
Specify robust pre‑processing logic:
Customer/account validation
Entitlement and authorisation checks
Funds availability

Security models (OAuth2/JWT, mTLS, signature validation)
Eventing patterns (Kafka topics, event schemas, DLQ handling)
Common libraries for logging, telemetry, utility functions
Ensure microservices follow UOB’s engineering principles:
Loose coupling, clear domain boundaries
Async event‑driven integration where applicable
High availability and horizontal scalability
Observability (structured logs, metrics, tracing)

Event lifecycle management
Callback patterns and async updates

5. Testing, Deployment & Operational Readiness
Lead SIT/UAT/E2E test scenario design for:
Corporate Internet Banking Channels
Entitlements, Auth matrix
Pre-payment flow like payment initiation, validation and submission
Timeouts, retries, negative tests
Work with Engineering & Ops to ensure:
Monitoring dashboards and alerts
Reconciliation and exception queues
Runbooks for replay, retry and operational fixes
Support scheme certification and phased deployment.

Success Measures
High‑quality delivery with minimal defects.
Strong reuse of existing microservices, reducing build complexity and time‑to‑market.
High STP rates, stable performance and consistent low‑latency behaviour.
Clear, engineering‑ready specifications enabling smooth developer adoption.
Strong governance alignment across Product, Engineering, Operations and Risk.
