Job Overview
Position Title: Director – Cross-Border Payment Rail Engineering & DLT-Driven FX Liquidity Infrastructure
Location: Muscat, Sultanate of Oman
Sector Focus: Instant Settlement Systems, Cross-Border FX Infrastructure, Digital Lira Interoperability
Job Type: Executive Payments Infrastructure Strategy | Full-Time
Industry Classification: Fintech – Payments Engineering, Distributed Ledger Technology, Central Bank Integration
Strategic Imperative:
As Oman amplifies its fintech sovereignty and payment liberalization agenda under Vision 2040, a critical void exists in engineering ultra-resilient, frictionless, DLT-backed cross-border payment systems. The Director of Cross-Border Rail Engineering will own the end-to-end design, launch, and maintenance of a pan-regional instant payments backbone that integrates seamlessly with the GCC Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system and regional FX nodes.
Principal Duties:
-
Architect a token-based interbank settlement platform utilizing hybrid DLT consensus (PBFT + PoS) with embedded FX smart contract logic for instant liquidity conversion and reconciliation.
-
Interface with central banks, correspondent banks, and fintech payment processors to develop an ISO 20022-compliant messaging and settlement layer, ensuring both syntactic and semantic harmonization.
-
Engineer bilateral and multilateral liquidity corridors incorporating dynamic slippage optimization and tokenized netting solutions for GCC-Asia and GCC-Africa flows.
-
Establish governance mechanisms for dynamic currency bridging, off-chain/on-chain atomic swaps, and identity-linked cross-border remittance tracking.
-
Pilot interoperability bridges with retail CBDCs (e.g., Project mBridge) while integrating anti-fragmentation controls and programmable compliance rails.
Candidate Profile:
-
At least 10–15 years in high-performance payment infrastructure development or cross-border FX rail design.
-
Deep knowledge of DLT protocols (e.g., Avalanche Subnets, Stellar, Quorum) applied to institutional finance use cases.
-
Familiarity with the mechanics of FX clearing, liquidity routing, and settlement finality in GCC monetary systems.
-
Strong grasp of Oman’s regulatory transformation in the fintech domain, including digital banking charters and open finance initiatives.
Strategic Differentiator:
Priority will be given to candidates who have engineered smart liquidity hubs across currencies or helped co-develop cross-jurisdictional CBDC corridors using DLT interoperability frameworks.
