Talan is hiring a SWIFT Application Integration Engineer

Location: NYC (Hybrid – at least 3 days onsite/week) Visa Sponsorship: Talan does not sponsor U.S. work permits or employment visas. We are seeking a hands-on SWIFT Technical Integrator to join our team and lead critical upgrade, migration, and integration initiatives within a banking infrastructure environment. This role is highly operational and requires strong ownership across the full lifecycle — from environment setup and installation to production deployment and post-go-live support. The ideal candidate brings solid experience working with SWIFT platforms (or similar messaging/payment systems), combined with strong Linux, Oracle, and middleware exposure. Role and responsibilities - Lead end-to-end SWIFT upgrade and migration activities, including planning, installation, integration, and production deployment. - Analyze and validate software and infrastructure requirements (OS, middleware, hardware) for new platform versions. - Coordinate the setup of infrastructure components (VMs, OS, VLANs, firewall rules, middleware such as MQ or sFTP). - Install, configure, and upgrade SWIFT applications across test and production environments. - Migrate and adapt system scripts and automated jobs (ksh/bash), ensuring continuity and stability during transitions. - Coordinate and support integration testing, ensuring systems and interfaces are fully operational before business validation. - Lead troubleshooting and incident resolution, working closely with infrastructure teams, application support, and external vendors. - Prepare and maintain deployment documentation, runbooks, and go-live checklists, ensuring smooth handover to production support teams. - Coordinate production releases and go-live activities, ensuring proper execution within change management frameworks. - Contribute to both BAU and change initiatives, with a focus on system reliability, stability, and continuous improvement.
