Job Overview
Executive Director – Global Payment Rail Engineering, Settlement Finality & Financial Throughput Architecture (Dubai, UAE)
Strategic Mandate
This role is created to engineer and govern ultra-high-throughput payment rail infrastructure capable of supporting continuous, multi-asset, multi-currency transaction execution with deterministic settlement finality. The Executive Director will operate at the deepest infrastructure layer where latency, financial correctness, fault tolerance, and systemic resilience intersect.
The mandate is not product-facing. It is infrastructure-defining, focused on building the underlying rails that allow financial ecosystems to scale safely without compromising settlement certainty or operational transparency.

Architect global-grade payment rail systems, including routing logic, clearing orchestration, and settlement finality mechanisms
-
Design financial throughput frameworks capable of sustaining extreme transaction velocity without balance drift or reconciliation fragility
-
Establish deterministic settlement models, ensuring every transaction reaches an irreversible financial state
-
Define institutional governance standards for payment execution, rollback prevention, and exception containment
-
Embed real-time observability and fault isolation into payment infrastructure
-
Advise senior stakeholders on payment scalability limits, infrastructure evolution, and systemic risk exposure
Required Expertise
-
15+ years in payment systems, transaction infrastructure, or large-scale fintech platforms
-
Deep understanding of clearing, settlement, message routing, and financial state transitions
-
Proven experience designing high-availability, low-latency financial systems
-
Strong command of financial determinism, auditability, and control architecture
Candidate Profile
-
Executive-level infrastructure thinker with strong financial systems intuition
-
Experienced in leading globally distributed, senior engineering teams remotely
-
Able to communicate infrastructure risk and capacity clearly at board level
Engagement & Compensation
-
Fully remote, Dubai-aligned role
-
Monthly compensation: AED 115,000 – 165,000

Long-term strategic mandate with authority over payment rail architecture
