Help shape the future of property decisioning in India Valocity is trusted digital infrastructure for property decisions. Across India, Australia, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates, we help leading financial institutions transform property decisioning through AI-enabled technology, trusted data and connected digital workflows.
In India, our platform supports digital mortgage valuation, project finance and legal workflows across a connected ecosystem of lenders, valuers, legal professionals and property data. As we continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced Solution Integration Architect to design scalable technology solutions, drive seamless system integrations and ensure our platforms evolve to meet business and client needs.
Valocity Values

- Bold with purpose: We think differently, move with intent and challenge the status quo where it creates better outcomes
About the Role Valocity provides digital infrastructure for property decisioning and valuation workflows used by banks and lenders across New Zealand, Australia, India and other international markets.
In India, Valocity is delivering its platform to a group of public sector banks. Each bank has its own core banking, loan origination and document management systems, its own security and network standards, and its own internal technology teams. Successful delivery depends on getting the solution design and integrations right, bank by bank, while keeping them aligned with one common Valocity platform.
The Solution Integration Architect is a senior technical role based in India. The role sits between our customers, our Product team and our Engineering teams, and is accountable for making sure that what we agree with a bank can be designed, built, integrated supported.
The role combines three areas:
1. Solution architecture for bank implementations.
2. API and integration design, with customers and internally.
3. Requirement definition in support of the Product Manager and Product Owner roles.
This is a hands-on role. The successful candidate will be comfortable reading an API specification, tracing a failed request through logs, drawing the sequence diagram, and then explaining the outcome clearly to a banks technology team or to Valocity leadership In one line A hands-on architect who turns bank requirements into clear, buildable API and integration designs, and works directly with customer technology teams to get those integrations live What makes this role different
Many architecture roles stop at the design document. Many integration roles start once the requirement is already fixed
This role covers both ends. It shapes the requirement with Product before engineering starts, and it stays with the integration until it is working in the customers environment.
Major Responsibilities
1. Solution architecture for bank implementations
Own the solution design for Valocitys implementations with Indian banking customers.
Responsibilities include
- Lead the technical discovery for each bank implementation, including current systems, processes, integration points and constraints.
- Produce solution designs covering application components, integrations, data flows, security, hosting and non-functional requirements.
- Design solutions that meet each banks needs while keeping them aligned with Valocitys common platform and product roadmap.
- Identify where customer requirements can be met through configuration, existing APIs or standard product features, and where new engineering is genuinely required.
- Keep a explicit view of variations between banks and actively avoid unnecessary customer-specific builds.
- Record architecture decisions, assumptions, risks and dependencies.
- Review designs with Engineering, IT Operations and the Global CTO where decisions affect the wider platform.
- Support the technical elements of change requests, including impact, effort and risk.
1. API and integration design
Design and govern the APIs and integrations that connect Valocitys platform with bank systems.
Responsibilities include
- Define integration patterns for bank connectivity, including REST APIs, webhooks and callbacks, event-driven messaging, and secure batch or file transfer where required

- Define data mappings between bank systems and the Valocity data model
- Maintain integration documentation, sequence diagrams and interface control documents for each bank
- Promote reusable, consistent API design so that each new bank integration becomes faster than the last

1. Requirement definition with Product
Support the Product Manager and Product Owner roles in defining clear, complete and buildable requirements, particularly where APIs and integrations are involved.
Responsibilities include
- Participate in customer discovery and requirement workshops alongside Product.
- Translate business requirements into technical requirements, API contracts and integration specifications.
- Help the Product Owner write user stories with clear technical acceptance criteria.
- Identify gaps, ambiguities, edge cases and conflicting requirements early.
- Define non-functional requirements, including performance, availability, security, audit, data retention and scalability.
- Support backlog refinement, estimation and sequencing with technical input.
- Help Product assess trade-offs between customer-specific requests and roadmap features.
