Established Sri Lankan bank modernizing core banking infrastructure
Commercial Bank of Ceylon is a 100+ year-old public bank operating a hybrid tech estate—legacy mainframes (AS/400, DB2) alongside modern cloud-native stacks (Kubernetes, OpenShift, PostgreSQL)—while accelerating hiring in engineering and data roles. The active project mix (CI/CD pipeline design, database infrastructure evaluation, digital banking optimization) combined with pain points around database performance tuning and audit compliance suggests a phased infrastructure modernization effort, not a full-stack rewrite.
Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC is Sri Lanka's largest private bank, founded in 1920 and publicly listed. Headquartered in Colombo, the bank serves consumer and commercial banking segments across the domestic market, supervised by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka and rated AA- by Fitch. With 1,001–5,000 employees, the organization operates both traditional retail banking and increasingly digital channels, supported by a blend of enterprise infrastructure (SQL Server, DB2, VMware, Nutanix) and containerized deployments (Kubernetes, OpenShift). Current strategic focus spans customer experience analytics, marketing automation, CI/CD capability-building, and database platform consolidation.
Java, .NET, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DB2, AS/400 for core systems; Kubernetes and OpenShift for containerization; Tableau and Power BI for analytics; GitHub Actions and Jenkins for CI/CD; VMware and Nutanix for infrastructure.
Customer journey mapping and satisfaction analytics, campaign management operations, CI/CD pipeline design, deployment automation, centralized database infrastructure modernization, and digital banking process optimization.
