About your role:
At Fiserv, we are dedicated to transforming financial services technology to benefit our clients. We are looking for a highly skilled and hands-on Program Technical Lead to guide the successful modernization of our technology stack, spanning Java back-end services, React front-end applications, and customer communication platforms (Quadient & OpenText Exstream).
This is a critical and high-impact role that will serve as the primary technical authority for one of our most strategic programs. You will provide day-to-day technical leadership across the program, ensuring design integrity, delivery quality, and alignment with enterprise architecture standards — while managing close coordination with our outsourced development partner.
What you'll do:
- Serve as the lead technical architect and decision-maker for a major modernization program transitioning to a modern Java, React, and CCM-based technology stack.
- Work hand-in-hand with our outsourced development vendor, providing design guidance, reviewing deliverables, and holding them accountable to our engineering and quality standards.
- Oversee solution design, code structure, integration patterns, and component ownership across the full stack — from services to UI to communications.
- Ensure consistency, scalability, and security across all delivered solutions, aligning with enterprise standards and architectural direction.
- Collaborate closely with internal product owners, delivery managers, QA teams, and security/compliance partners to ensure seamless and secure execution.
- Lead code and design reviews, define technical checkpoints, and proactively mitigate delivery and architectural risks.
- Act as a technical bridge between vendor teams and internal leadership, providing transparency, confidence, and technical oversight throughout program execution.
- Identify opportunities to improve performance, automate testing, reduce technical debt, and optimize developer efficiency.
- Partner with platform leads (Java, CCM, React) to align implementation patterns and share best practices.
- Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.
Experience you'll need to have:
- 10+ years of experience in software development
- Proven experience serving as a technical lead or solution architect on large, cross-functional programs, preferably within a modernization or digital transformation effort.
- Strong experience collaborating with outsourced or offshore development partners, including managing code quality, delivery velocity, and communication effectiveness.
- Solid understanding of microservices architecture, front-end frameworks, CI/CD, and secure coding practices.
- Excellent communication and coordination skills, with the ability to lead through influence across distributed teams and external partners.
- Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery and DevOps culture.
Experience that would be great to have:
- Prior experience in regulated industries (e.g., financial services, insurance, healthcare, government).
- Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
- Experience implementing shared services and componentized architectures across business domains.
