Job Title

Modernization Program Technical Lead

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.

This role is not eligible to be performed in Colorado, California, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Rhode Island or Washington.
