ScienceSoft Global
Meet ScienceSoft’s Experts — the People Who Will Drive Your Project to Success
This page is devoted to the main driving force behind ScienceSoft — our people — and shows how we compose cross-functional teams that deliver consistent results, no matter the challenges.
Organized Around Outcomes, Not Departments
In most large financial IT companies, projects span 6–7 departments — front end, back end, mobile, UX design, QA, DevOps, security — each with its own leadership, agenda, and priorities. That means more handoffs, more red tape, slower decisions, and blurry accountability. Leaving this rigid model in the past, ScienceSoft is structured into four tightly connected units that are organized around outcomes, not tech silos.
Project Management Office (PMO)
This unit develops, empowers, and continuously trains project managers — specifically for financial IT initiatives. The PMO establishes the frameworks, methodologies, and mentorship programs that ensure every PM at ScienceSoft operates with precision and ownership. Our 60+ certified project managers are trained to prioritize your business goals, anticipate operational risks, and lead their projects to success despite emerging changes and constraints.
You get a single, responsible PM who owns the outcomes, not just team activities.
Architecture and Solutions Center of Excellence
This unit safeguards your project’s long-term success by minimizing technical risks and ensuring that every financial IT solution is secure, scalable, cost-effective, and accurate by design. Ten principal architects, each with over 15 years of hands-on experience in designing high-impact financial systems, lead the way. They continuously evaluate new technologies and improve our architectural practice, acting as consultants for critical project decisions.
Your project is shaped by strategic thinking, not just code execution.
Technology and Competency Center of Excellence
This unit ensures that our people outperform the market. It is a team of 50+ senior experts in financial technologies, niche IT services (e.g., infrastructure, cybersecurity), and key BFSI domains, such as banking, investment, insurance, lending, payments, and DeFi. They run training programs, create personalized growth plans, and coach our talents. Their mission is to ensure that every person we assign to your project is fully prepared — technically, strategically, and contextually.
From day one, you get a team of high-performing professionals — familiar with your domain, sharpened by continuous learning, and focused on delivering measurable results.
Competency Pool
Among our 600+ IT specialists are software and QA engineers, data scientists, DevOps, security, and compliance experts, business analysts, UX/UI designers, and other professionals who are continuously maintained and trained by the Technology and Competency CoE. Over 50% of all our tech talents are senior and lead-level specialists. From this pool, project managers and solution architects assemble cross-functional teams centered around each financial IT project’s unique needs and goals.
You don’t have to worry about whether we have the right talent on board. We always do — ready, trained, and immediately deployable.
A pool of 600+ IT specialists — mobilized by project

Project Management Office (PMO): Planning and Acting
We don't just oversee finance IT projects; we drive them. My team clears the path to success by paving the fastest and smoothest route to the project’s goals — despite evolving customer expectations, shifting regulations, and the challenges of legacy systems.
-
60+ full-time project managers (PMs) with industry-recognized certifications, such as PMP, PSM, PMI-ACP, PMI-PMOCP, CSM, PSPO, ITIL 4, CSPO, and ICP-APM.
- We employ project managers with expertise in BFSI domains (e.g., banking, investment, insurance) and service directions (e.g., legacy financial software modernization, testing, IT support). They see what others miss: hidden risks, cost- and time-saving opportunities, and smarter paths forward.
- Our PMs do far more than just team coordination. They take full ownership of your project’s success and handle the arising challenges, be it tight deadlines, constrained budgets, rapidly evolving scope, or competing priorities. PMs’ responsibilities include project planning and estimation, management of change requests, risks, timelines, and budget, aligning multiple stakeholders, managing distributed teams, and ensuring smooth and transparent collaboration.
- We don’t leave PM performance to chance — it’s rigorously measured, audited, and enhanced. Externally, we track all key project health indicators, analyze formal and informal client feedback (including NPS and retention), and monitor project outcome quality. Internally, we audit how well our established best practices are followed during real project delivery and track how our PMs grow — earning new certifications, mentoring others, and stepping up to more complex leadership roles.
- 60% of client reviews on software engineering projects from 2019–2025 specifically highlighted project management excellence at ScienceSoft.
Architecture and Solutions Center of Excellence: Innovating and Creating
The versatility of technology and financial orgs' needs has taught us to approach each project as a unique case and seek architectural and engineering solutions that best fit its specific context.
-
A team of 30+ solution and technology architects. We’re proud to say that the architect density — the ratio of architects to overall technical staff — at ScienceSoft is 2–3x higher than the industry average. This ensures that every financial software project gets a dedicated architect, as well as fosters the exchange of ideas and continuous innovation.
- Our architects hold top certifications in the field, from AWS Solutions Architect and Azure Solutions Architect to TOGAF and IASA CITA.
- Ten principal architects, each with over 15 years of hands-on experience in building global-scale financial IT systems and innovative financial solutions, are the backbone of the Architecture and Solutions CoE. Their mission goes beyond architecture design for individual projects:
- They set the architectural vision and strategy across ScienceSoft.
- They mentor and train senior and middle architects, nurturing deep technical expertise and business-oriented thinking.
- They lead the adoption of modern technologies and architecture paradigms, helping our teams embrace innovation in a way that fits real-world needs and doesn’t introduce unnecessary risks.
- They ensure architecture stays a driver of business outcomes — not just a layer of documentation.
Technology and Competency Center of Excellence: Elevating and Empowering
Tech skills alone don’t win projects that demand sustained complexity, consistent delivery, and close collaboration over years to achieve measurable financial service transformations. Alignment, accountability, and attitude do — and we train our teams for all three.
-
A team of 50+ niche experts in specific service areas (e.g., engineering, QA, cybersecurity), BFSI fields (portfolio valuation, underwriting, credit scoring, etc.), sectoral regulations (e.g., SEC for investment, NAIC for insurance), and value-driving financial techs (AI/ML, big data, blockchain).
- They lead all technical hiring at ScienceSoft, conducting rigorous interviews and assessments to recruit and retain top talent.
- They foster a mentorship culture by pairing senior members with new hires to accelerate knowledge transfer and skill development.
- They create personalized development plans for every team member and manage training, workshops, certifications, and conferences.
- They work closely with resource managers to assemble well-matched project teams that are aligned with client needs.
- They conduct formal performance evaluations for all our team members, offering in-depth feedback on accomplishments, goal progress, and opportunities for growth.
Competency Pool: Assembling and Delivering
Our job is to make sure you never worry about the ‘who.’ You bring the vision, we bring the team to realize it. The seniority of our people is best reflected in the quality of financial solutions we deliver — and our standards are nothing short of exceptional.
We hire only the top 2% of applicants and maintain a senior-heavy talent pool — over 50% of our 600+ tech experts are seniors and leads. But it’s our internal structure and training that turn this talent into reliable teams that drive consistent results. With continuous mentoring, coaching, strong collaboration, and a unified delivery culture, our professionals work as a cohesive unit, no matter which technology or industry vertical they belong to. This enables us to quickly assemble cross-functional teams that work in sync from day one — fully aligned with your goals, timelines, and domain specifics.
