Position Summary:
As Bahrain accelerates its embrace of financial innovation through the Central Bank of Bahrain’s (CBB) Fintech & Innovation Unit and its regulatory sandbox, the need for scalable, intelligent compliance automation is paramount. This role is focused on developing a next-generation RegTech platform that empowers digital financial institutions to deploy, monitor, and evolve their regulatory reporting, transaction monitoring, and AML/KYC operations using AI, graph analytics, and continuous compliance logic.
You will lead the technical design and deployment of an intelligent compliance stack that integrates with banking cores, payment gateways, virtual asset platforms, and capital markets operators—all within Bahrain’s regulated fintech ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Architect a cloud-native compliance automation platform that modularizes KYC, AML, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting workflows.
-
Develop scalable compliance microservices that support CBB mandates, FATF guidelines, and data sovereignty requirements.
-
Build and train AI/ML models for pattern recognition, anomaly detection, risk scoring, and transaction flow analysis using real-time streams.
-
Integrate with legacy bank cores, modern payment orchestration systems, and crypto VASPs for holistic compliance data capture.
-
Design a visual rules engine enabling compliance teams to modify thresholds, risk matrices, and reporting logic without redeployment.
-
Oversee implementation of advanced features including biometric verification, document forensics, and entity resolution using knowledge graphs.
-
Ensure traceability, explainability, and full audit logs are in place to meet regulatory expectations and undergo real-time inspection.
Required Background:
-
BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Financial Engineering, or Compliance Systems.
-
7+ years of software engineering experience, 3+ of which in RegTech or financial compliance infrastructure.
-
Strong command of Python, Node.js, or Java with experience using AI/ML libraries (e.g., Scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow).
-
Familiarity with Bahrain’s CBB Rulebook Volumes on AML, FATF Recommendations, and crypto asset monitoring.
-
Experience with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j), CEP engines (e.g., Esper), and compliance data models.
Preferred Qualities:
-
Strong product mindset and empathy for non-technical compliance teams.
-
Capable of turning abstract regulations into machine-readable logic.
-
Skilled in balancing performance, accuracy, and regulatory defensibility.
What You Get:
-
Fully remote engineering leadership within a regulatory-first environment.
-
Deep collaboration with national RegTech task forces and sandbox experimentation teams.
-
Optional participation in RegTech regulatory forums and working groups hosted by CBB.
-
Learning grants for certifications in AML, ISO/IEC 27001, or Crypto Compliance.
