The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC) is seeking a qualified partner to support the design and delivery of a Bank-owned orchestration layer.

  • Orchestration layer architecture and design (hybrid model leveraging AWS infrastructure) 

  • Implementation of scalable, event-driven integration patterns 

  • Observability, auditability, and operational controls 

  • Structured knowledge transfer (documentation/training) to support ongoing Bank ownership
