Your focus is on core banking systems and API-driven scalability, separate from the front-end digital user experiences.

- Scale, Resilience & Compliance: Ensure all core banking engines operate with 99.99% uptime, strictly comply with regional financial regulations, and are scalable to support rapid volume growth.
- Team Leadership: Build, mentor, and evolve a technical team of Product Managers focused on infrastructure, backend capability engineering, and product commercial success.

- Have extensive expertise in financial data modeling, payment networks (SWIFT, ACH/EFT, Real-Time Rails), and major core banking platforms such as Mambu or Thought Machine.
- Have advanced understanding of double-entry accounting, security standards, RESTful API design, and microservices-based banking architecture.
- Have demonstrated success partnering with Engineering Directors and Compliance officers to develop resilient and scalable enterprise financial systems.
