Required Skills
REST APIs
Requirements
  • Core Banking Awareness: You have a strong interest in—or previous exposure to—banking "Cores" (e.g., FIS, Fiserv, Jack Henry) and understand their fundamental role in the financial ecosystem.
  • Technical Literacy: You are comfortable reading API documentation, reviewing data schemas, and discussing technical concepts (like authentication or payload structures) with engineers.
  • Analytical Precision: You are meticulous with data. You understand that in core integrations, a single mismapped field can disrupt a loan application or account opening.
  • Communication Bridge: You can navigate "bank-speak" from our clients' IT departments and translate it into "tech-speak" for our internal development teams.
  • Problem Solving: You are a resourceful researcher who can dig into legacy documentation to find the specific data points needed to solve an integration gap.
Responsibilities
  • Technical Data Mapping: Own the field-level mapping between core banking schemas (SOAP/REST/Legacy) and our internal data models. Ensure that data required for underwriting and account opening is accurately translated across systems.
  • Requirement Translation: Take high-level integration goals from the team and translate them into detailed technical user stories and JSON payload specifications for engineering.
  • Core Playbooks: Maintain high-quality technical documentation for each core provider, including API specifications, sequence diagrams, and configuration guides.
  • Standard Operating Procedures: Create and update internal "Core Integration Playbooks" to ensure that the knowledge of how to connect to specific banking cores is centralized and repeatable.
  • UAT Leadership: Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for all new core integrations. Document edge cases and identify bugs specifically related to data discrepancies between the Core and the LOS.
  • Engineering Liaison: Serve as the first point of contact for engineering when technical roadblocks arise during the integration build, providing clarity on core data behavior and requirements.
  • Core Adapter Development: Assist the team in transitioning from "custom projects" to "standardized products" by identifying commonalities across core providers to help build reusable "Core Adapters."
  • Implementation Support: Build the internal toolkits and technical checklists used by Implementation and Sales Engineering teams to validate core connectivity during the onboarding cycle.
  • AI-first solution Mindset: Utilize best of breed tools/agents to bring velocity, scale and repeatability to our integration processes.
