• Own the technical product vision and roadmap for the KYC platform, treating software as a product with clear value propositions, user personas, and success metrics leveraging Applied AI/ML or Agentic framework

• Define and evolve platform capabilities (data services, rules engine, event driven integration patterns like KAFKA and workflow orchestration, integrations, UI components) as reusable enablers for multiple programs and LOBs.

   

• Establish and maintain a platform health scorecard (reliability, performance, security, cost, developer experience) and drive continuous improvement.
• Design and govern a service-oriented architecture (SOA/microservices) with clear domain boundaries, API contracts, and event-driven patterns and Architect and implement a rule-driven framework (policy-as-code, decision engines) that externalizes business logic from application code, enabling rapid policy changes without deployment cycles.

• Define API standards, integration patterns, and data contracts to ensure interoperability across KYC, CDD, COLT, CAP, OSKAR, and downstream systems and drive modernization from monolithic, intent-based workflows to content-first, configuration-driven architectures that support cross-LOB nuances at speed.

• Ensure the platform meets all audit, regulatory, and control requirements (data lineage, decision explainability, access controls, evidence capture).

• Drive SRE practices: SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident management, chaos product design, and proactive resilience testing and Own cost optimization and capacity planning; balance performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.

• Hands-on experience with rule engines, decision management systems, or policy-as-code frameworks (e.g., Drools, DMN, OPA, custom DSLs).

• Proficiency in modern tech stacks: Java/Spring Boot, Node.js, Python, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines and Strong understanding of data architecture: domain models, canonical data, event sourcing, CQRS, data lineage, and governance and Experience with workflow orchestration, case management, and BPM platforms (e.g., Camunda, Temporal, custom orchestrators).

   

   

Preferred qualifications, capabilities and skills:

• Deep experience with agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and product delivery practices (epics, stories, acceptance criteria, definition of done).

• Experience in financial services, preferably in KYC, AML, CDD, onboarding, or compliance domains.

   

• Experience with SRE practices: SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident management, observability, and resilience product design.

• Familiarity with modernization initiatives: migrating from monoliths to microservices, legacy system decommissioning, cloud migration.
• Knowledge of data analytics, telemetry, and platform health metrics (e.g., Datadog, Splunk, Grafana, custom dashboards).
• Exposure to audit and control frameworks: SOX, GDPR, data privacy, access controls, evidence capture.
  Experience working in global, distributed teams across multiple time zones.
