Seniority Level: Executive / Foundational Architect
Mode: Full-Time, Dubai-Based with International Liaison Authority
🛰 Mission
Dubai’s fintech maturity now demands a sovereign-grade identity stack—interoperable, privacy-preserving, and compliant across jurisdictions from Lagos to Luxembourg. This role inaugurates and leads the creation of the Emirati National Fintech Identity Layer, underpinning all regulated fintech operations, real-world asset tokenization, cross-border KYC, and AI-backed risk adjudication systems.
🧩 Core Responsibilities
-
Unified Digital Identity Stack: Design a digital identity architecture that harmonizes biometric, device, behavioral, and token-based identity proofs across retail, SME, and institutional fintech channels.
-
AI-KYC & Continuous Authentication: Build intelligent KYC engines that dynamically learn user risk behaviors over time, adaptively request secondary proofs, and autonomously interface with regulators.
-
GCC + Global ID Interoperability: Construct bridges with Bahrain’s eID, Saudi’s Nafath, and EU eIDAS-compliant providers to allow instantaneous, trustless onboarding across multiple regulated jurisdictions.
-
DeFi & RWA Identity Rail: Enable identity-linked compliance rails for tokenized real estate, carbon credits, and sukuk NFTs, ensuring traceable but privacy-preserving ownership and tradability.
-
Consent Ledger & Data Ethics OS: Develop a blockchain-based consent layer where users control how and where their data flows, backed by UAE’s Personal Data Protection Law and international GDPR equivalence.
🧠 Candidate Requirements
-
10–15 years in identity infrastructure, RegTech, privacy tech, or fintech compliance engineering.
-
Deep understanding of biometric verification systems, WebAuthn, Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), and zk-proof integration.
-
Expertise in GCC regulatory frameworks (including VARA, ADGM, and DFSA) and emerging compliance standards from Africa and Southeast Asia.
-
Experience working with government identity programs, fintech startups, or digital public infrastructure teams.
-
Graduate or postdoctoral work in Identity Cryptography, Regulatory Informatics, or Applied AI in Finance.
