• Deliver workflow automation using Flowable and Activiti, including BPMN modelling, orchestration of multi-step processes, event correlation, and long-running process management.

• Implement predominantly straight-through processing (STP) workflows with defined manual review checkpoints (e.g., referral queues), ensuring smooth transitions between automated and human tasks.

• Design and implement decisioning and policy logic using Drools, covering rule authoring, testing, versioning, and controlled rollout with clear separation from application/process code.

• Build and maintain secure, reliable RESTful APIs and integrations to fraud/credit components, with strong contract management, idempotency, and robust error handling.

• Engineer fraud/credit workflow patterns including exception handling, compensations, retries, timeouts, SLAs, escalation paths, and end-to-end audit traceability across automated and manual steps.

• Design and optimise database interactions using PostgreSQL, ensuring data integrity, performance, and appropriate transactional behaviour for workflow-heavy workloads.

• Drive engineering quality and delivery discipline through code reviews, automated unit/integration testing, Maven-based build/dependency management, and GIT source control aligned to HSBC SDLC expectations.

• Ensure solutions meet resilience, security, and observability needs (logging, monitoring, metrics/tracing) and are production-ready with operational documentation.

• Provide technical leadership within the squad, supporting delivery through production and BAU (release readiness, incident/problem management, RCA, continuous improvement) and collaborating with architecture, QA, ops, and risk/control partners.

To be successful in this role, you should meet the following requirements:

• Strong hands-on experience building enterprise applications using Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, and J2EE technologies.

• Proven workflow automation experience with Flowable and/or Activiti (BPMN modelling, orchestration, process versioning, and supportability).

• Hands-on experience with Drools (rule authoring, testing, governance/versioning, and integration with services/workflows).

• Strong SQL and relational database skills, including the ability to write and tune queries (PostgreSQL preferred).

• Strong experience delivering API integrations (REST) including authentication/authorisation patterns, versioning, idempotency, and error handling.

• Experience with SDLC tooling and engineering discipline (GIT, Maven, code reviews, automated unit/integration testing).

• Experience delivering scalable, efficient solutions in a regulated environment; banking/financial services experience preferred.

• Good-to-have exposure to microservices/distributed systems and event-driven patterns, CI/CD and containerisation, observability (metrics/logs/tracing), and performance engineering for high-throughput/long-running workflow platforms.
