About this role
Description
PassportCard is a rapidly growing international insurer and financial services innovator, recognized for challenging traditional industry models through technology, customer-centric design, automation and digital-first operating principles.
Our technology organization is in the midst of a significant transformation journey that includes:
- Large-scale modernization of core insurance platforms
- Migration toward cloud-native and event-driven architectures
- Expansion of AI-powered business and engineering capabilities
- Adoption of agentic software development practices (AI-DLC)
- Creation of a next-generation digital platform for insurance, payments and customer services
What you'll do:
Define and evolve our enterprise architecture and technology strategy.
Lead modernization of core platforms — policy administration, claims, underwriting, pricing, and customer/CRM systems.
Drive cloud-native, event-driven, and microservices architecture at scale.
Lead real, hands-on adoption of AI-DLC and agentic software delivery.
Design RAG architectures, knowledge graphs, MCP-based systems, and multi-agent architectures.
Establish AI governance, security, and evaluation frameworks for AI-generated code and analysis
Own vendor/platform selection, build-vs-buy decisions, and technical debt strategy
Partner with executives, product, and engineering leaders to turn strategy into architecture
Requirements
What we're looking for:
15+ years in software engineering, 7+ years in senior architecture roles (Principal/Enterprise/Solution Architect)
Deep cloud experience — AWS required, Azure a strong plus
Microservices, Domain-Driven Design, event-driven architecture, enterprise integration
Hands-on (not just theoretical) experience with LLMs, agentic systems, RAG, knowledge graphs, or MCP-based architectures
Comfortable influencing through expertise, not hierarchy — you'll work directly with executives
Strong plus: experience in insurance, banking, financial services, fintech, or payments — especially with policy administration, claims, or underwriting systems
This is a chance to build the architectural foundation for PassportCard's next decade of growth — and to define how AI changes enterprise software engineering, not just talk about it.
