Why This Role Matters

At SS&C, we’re not just building systems—we’re engineering the backbone of global financial technology. As a Blockchain Architect, you’ll design and orchestrate the technical fabric that powers seamless data flow and interoperability across a multi-system, regulated environment. This is your chance to influence enterprise architecture at scale and tackle integration challenges that redefine digital investments.

• Maintain integration maps, dependency matrices, and readiness plans.

Cross-Domain Alignment 

• Ensure application and infrastructure architectures align with business objectives and non-functional requirements (NFRs).
• Facilitate trade-offs between domains (e.g., performance vs. cost) without dictating implementation details.

Delivery Coordination 

• Orchestrate cross-team dependencies and integration milestones.
• Partner with Product Owners on roadmap alignment and sequencing.
• Lead implementations and client interactions.

Governance 

• Leads the cross-functional Design Authority.
• Oversee change governance and integration readiness gates.
• Ensure operational handover plans (runbooks, observability, support boundaries) are in place.

What You Will Bring:

• Domain-specific knowledge in asset management/funds administration/ capital markets.
• A passion and understanding for blockchain/tokenisation technology, and how it can revolutionise traditional finance.
• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture principles and integration challenges.
• Experience in multi-system solution design and program-level coordination.
• Ability to translate business objectives into high-level architectural blueprints and integration strategies.
• Skilled in stakeholder management, facilitation, and risk mitigation.
• Deep knowledge of NFRs (performance, reliability, security).
• Exposure to regulated environments and complex multi-system landscapes, with an awareness of regulatory frameworks for tokenised assets.
• Understanding of modern delivery practices (DevOps, CI/CD) at a conceptual level.

Why You Will Love It Here! 

• Flexibility: Hybrid Work Model
• Your Future: Professional Development Reimbursement, including access to SS&C University
• Work/Life Balance: Competitive holiday scheme
• Your Wellbeing: Competitive benefits designed to support the well-being of our staff

• Training: Hands-On, Team-Customised throughout your career

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds to enable us to bring diverse perspectives to our thinking and conversation. It's important to us that we strive to have a workforce that is diverse in the widest sense.
