Job Overview

Executive Lead – Fintech Platform Architecture & Digital Financial Systems

GCC Market Alignment: United Arab Emirates

Work Arrangement: Fully Remote

Role Classification: Executive / Platform Leadership

Executive Role Context (Vision & Architecture-Led Format)

This role is designed for a senior fintech professional whose primary responsibility is to define, structure, and govern complex digital financial platforms rather than manage day-to-day delivery. The Executive Lead for Fintech Platform Architecture & Digital Financial Systems is accountable for shaping how fintech ecosystems are designed at scale—technically, structurally, and strategically.

The role assumes that modern fintech platforms operate as financial infrastructure, requiring the same level of rigor, resilience, and long-term planning as national payment systems or large banking platforms. The focus is not on a single product but on how multiple financial capabilities coexist within a unified architectural framework.

Strategic Mandate

• Define long-term architectural direction for large-scale fintech platforms.

• Establish structural principles governing payments, accounts, transaction engines, and data layers.

• Ensure platform readiness for growth, interoperability, and regional expansion.

• Balance innovation with system stability and financial integrity.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Architecture & Design Governance

• Develop reference architectures for multi-layer fintech systems.

• Define architectural standards covering scalability, resilience, and integration.

• Oversee architectural decision-making across distributed teams.

• Review and validate system designs for long-term sustainability.

Financial Systems Strategy

• Design frameworks for transaction processing, settlement, and reconciliation.

• Ensure architectural consistency across payment and financial service components.

• Anticipate future platform demands and incorporate extensibility into system design.

Leadership & Documentation

• Act as final design authority for platform-level decisions.

• Produce detailed architectural documentation and long-range system roadmaps.

• Communicate complex architectural concepts to senior stakeholders.

Candidate Profile

• 14+ years of experience in fintech, digital finance, or financial platform architecture.

• Demonstrated leadership in designing large-scale financial systems.

• Strong system-thinking and architectural governance experience.

• Ability to operate autonomously at executive level.

Engagement Model

• Fully remote role aligned with the UAE fintech ecosystem.

• Executive-level authority without company affiliation.

• International compensation aligned with principal fintech architecture roles.
