Solution Architect (Data Migration)

Project description

Join our Development Center in Bucharest, and become a member of our open-minded, progressive and professional team. In this role, you will be working on projects for one of our world-famous clients. You will have a chance to grow your technical and soft skills, and build thorough expertise in the industry of our client. On top of the attractive salary and benefits package, Luxoft will invest in your professional training, and allow you to grow your professional career. This project involves a large-scale backend data migration and consolidation initiative that supports the modernization of a major retail banking environment. The objective is to migrate and unify data from multiple legacy banking systems into new state-of-the-art solutions hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), enabling improved scalability, consistency, and operational efficiency. The delivery team contributes to the migration of backend data while preserving the existing application architecture, ensuring business continuity and minimizing operational risk. This initiative supports the consolidation of fragmented data sources into modern platforms, improves data accessibility and quality, enhances regulatory compliance capabilities, and establishes a scalable cloud-based foundation for future digital services and advanced analytics. In parallel, the program leverages Agentic AI capabilities to enhance operational efficiency, automate repetitive migration tasks, and improve data validation and reconciliation processes. These capabilities contribute to the development of a large-scale AI Center of Excellence (CoE) focused on data migration and transformation initiatives, enabling standardized automation frameworks, reusable AI-driven components, and scalable best practices across the broader banking technology landscape.
