We are seeking a hands-on SWIFT Technical Integrator to join our team and lead critical upgrade, migration, and integration initiatives within a banking infrastructure environment.
This role is highly operational and requires strong ownership across the full lifecycle — from environment setup and installation to production deployment and post-go-live support.
The ideal candidate brings solid experience working with SWIFT platforms (or similar messaging/payment systems), combined with strong Linux, Oracle, and middleware exposure.
_ Role and responsibilities_
- Lead end-to-end SWIFT upgrade and migration activities, including planning, installation, integration, and production deployment.
- Analyze and validate software and infrastructure requirements (OS, middleware, hardware) for new platform versions.
- Coordinate the setup of infrastructure components (VMs, OS, VLANs, firewall rules, middleware such as MQ or sFTP).
- Install, configure, and upgrade SWIFT applications across test and production environments.
- Migrate and adapt system scripts and automated jobs (ksh/bash), ensuring continuity and stability during transitions.
- Coordinate and support integration testing, ensuring systems and interfaces are fully operational before business validation.
- Lead troubleshooting and incident resolution, working closely with infrastructure teams, application support, and external vendors.
- Prepare and maintain deployment documentation, runbooks, and go-live checklists, ensuring smooth handover to production support teams.
- Coordinate production releases and go-live activities, ensuring proper execution within change management frameworks.
- Contribute to both BAU and change initiatives, with a focus on system reliability, stability, and continuous improvement.
