Role Mission
Qatar’s Central Bank is preparing to launch a programmable, interoperable CBDC with unique utility across both public and private sectors. As a strategically placed thought-leader, you will design CBDC wallet logic, transaction controls, and behavioral payment rules—especially targeting pilgrimage-based microeconomies, national subsidies, and intelligent consumption incentives.
Responsibilities
-
Co-lead the architecture of a Qatari CBDC wallet capable of embedding dynamic controls, behavioral nudge protocols, and Shariah-aligned constraints.
-
Design real-time conditional payment logic for Hajj/Umrah-specific CBDC uses (e.g., geo-fenced food subsidy disbursements, mobility limits, charitable micropayments).
-
Model usage data and citizen transaction flows to craft targeted economic stimulation campaigns (e.g., “green CBDC bonuses” for sustainable purchases).
-
Enable programmable disbursements for pensioners, students, or refugee groups, with custom expiration and reusability parameters.
-
Partner with behavioral economists and AI ethicists to avoid paternalism while maximizing financial health outcomes.
-
Ensure full compliance with AMLO (Anti-Money Laundering Office), Data Protection Law, and Central Bank stability mandates.
-
Position Qatar’s CBDC behavioral framework as the MENA-region reference case for programmable Islamic monetary theory.
Key Qualifications
-
10+ years in central banking technology, CBDC design, or behavioral finance/fintech.
-
Strong theoretical and applied knowledge of digital currency programmability (e.g., CBDC scripting logic, stablecoin expiration).
-
Familiarity with Islamic money principles (e.g., gharar, riba, zakat-distribution automation).
-
Data science fluency with AI modeling of consumer behavior, retail transaction heat maps, and economic nudging.
-
Experience designing wallets for low-literacy populations or pilgrims using biometric-enabled smart wallets.
Why Qatar?
With its high innovation capacity and cultural-economic ambition, Qatar is now building the next frontier of programmable Islamic monetary systems. You will design the rules, constraints, and intelligent benefits that define how money behaves—ethically, transparently, and inclusively.
