Overview
We are seeking experienced FinTech Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to support the design, build, and launch of a next-generation banking and payments platform. This initiative is transforming a single-country solution into a scalable, configurable, and regulator-ready fintech ecosystem for deployment across Africa, the Middle East, and additional global markets.
This is a unique opportunity to help architect and operationalize a greenfield core platform-not a legacy retrofit-while enabling repeatable country launches at scale.
Key Responsibilities
Platform Design & Architecture
- Provide domain expertise to support the design of a configurable, multi-tenant fintech platform
- Contribute to defining capabilities such as:
- Multi-currency support
- Multi-rail payments (ACH, RTGS, cards, wallets, etc.)
- Compliance-by-design frameworks
- Embedded observability and monitoring
- Partner with architecture and engineering teams to ensure platform scalability, configurability, and regulatory alignment
- Advise on end-to-end money movement flows across domestic and cross-border rails
- Define integration patterns with banks, payment processors, and third-party providers
- Support payment orchestration, settlement, reconciliation, and reporting capabilities
- Guide product design across retail, commercial, and embedded finance use cases
- Interpret and operationalize regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions
- Support development of reusable compliance "packs" for country deployments
- Ensure platform capabilities align with KYC, AML, fraud, and data residency requirements
- Partner with risk and compliance teams to embed controls within core platform workflows
- Work within implementation pods focused on specific market launches
- Support configuration of the platform to meet local regulatory, operational, and integration requirements
- Guide licensing readiness, partner onboarding, and in-market deployment activities
- Contribute to a repeatable "country launch factory" approach
- Contribute to the development of a scalable operating model for platform and country rollout
- Collaborate within a tiered governance and delivery structure across multiple workstreams
- Support knowledge transfer, documentation, and best practices for future deployment waves
- 7-15+ years of experience in financial services, fintech, or payments
- Deep expertise in one or more areas:
- Core banking platforms
- Payments (domestic, cross-border, real-time)
- Fintech product development
- Regulatory compliance (KYC, AML, risk)
- Financial integrations and partner ecosystems
- Experience with large-scale platform transformations or greenfield builds
- Strong understanding of payments lifecycle and transaction processing
- Experience supporting multi-country or emerging market deployments (Africa, Middle East, or similar regions)
- Familiarity with payment orchestration, payment-as-a-service, or embedded finance models
- Exposure to cloud-native platforms, APIs, and microservices-based architectures
- Experience working within scaled program structures or multi-vendor environments
- Ability to operate across both strategic advisory and hands-on execution
