About the job L2/L3 Tech
What This Role Is
You will be the technical authority on a complex banking virtualisation transformation. This is not a support role or BAU position. You will own solution design, shape migration strategy, produce HLD/LLD documentation, govern implementation, and represent the technical team to senior banking stakeholders. If you need to be told what to do, this role is not for you.
What You Will Actually Do
- Lead technical discovery workshops and requirements sessions with the bank's architects and IT leadership
- Design and own the end-to-end VMware to Hyper-V migration approach — including sequencing, risk mitigation, and rollback planning
- Produce and sign off HLD, LLD, implementation plans, migration plans, test strategies, and operational handover documents
- Provide technical oversight during implementation — you are the senior escalation point when things break
- Sit on architectural review boards, CAB, and risk/change governance forums
- Mentor L2 engineers and set technical direction for the delivery team
- Collaborate with project managers, vendors, security teams, and customer architects
- Contribute to pre-sales scoping and technical proposals where required
