Job Summary

We are seeking a visionary Enterprise Architect to lead the design, implementation, and integration of stablecoin infrastructure within our financial organization. This role requires deep expertise in blockchain technology, financial systems, and enterprise-scale architecture to ensure seamless integration of stablecoin solutions with existing platforms (e.g., core banking, payment gateways, compliance tools). You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including business stakeholders, technology teams, and external partners to design and deploy a robust, secure, scalable, and regulatory-compliant stablecoins ecosystem that supports the organization's strategic objectives.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Planning: Develop and refine the roadmap for stablecoin / cryptocurrency interoperability model, ensuring alignment with business goals and regulatory requirements.

Architecture Design: Develop end-to-end architecture blueprints for stablecoin issuance, transaction processing, and wallet management, prioritizing scalability, security, and interoperability.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product, engineering, compliance, and operations teams to translate business requirements into technical specifications.

Technical Leadership: Oversee system design decisions, including blockchain protocols (e.g., Ethereum), cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure), APIs, and databases.

System Integration: Design integration strategies for legacy financial systems (e.g., SWIFT, core banking platforms) and third-party services (KYC/AML providers, custodians).

Compliance & Risk Management: Embed regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, FATF Travel Rule) into system design and conduct risk assessments.

Implementation Guidance: Lead and guide implementation teams, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within scope.

Trusted Advisor: Build strong relationships with management, providing expert advice and insights to support decision-making.

Communication: Effectively communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, fostering understanding and collaboration.

Innovation: Evaluate emerging technologies (DeFi, CBDCs) to enhance platform capabilities and user experience.

Documentation: Create detailed technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, data flow models, and security protocols.

Expected Skills

Enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman).

Blockchain platforms, smart contracts, and consensus mechanisms.

Cloud-native development (microservices, Kubernetes).

API design (REST) and integration tools (ETL).

Stakeholder communication (technical and non-technical audiences).

Leadership in Agile/DevOps environments.

Analytical problem-solving for complex systems.

Project Management: Proficiency in tools like Jira; familiarity with SDLC and CI/CD pipelines.

Strong Communication Skills: The ability to clearly articulate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, collaborate effectively across

Expected Knowledge

Blockchain: Token standards, decentralized governance, and cross-chain interoperability.

Stablecoins: Mechanisms (collateralization, algorithmic models) and use cases (payments, remittances).

Financial Systems: Payment networks (e.g., ACH), liquidity management, and settlement processes.

Regulatory Landscape: Global regulations (e.g., MiCA, NYDFS) and compliance tools (e.g., Chainalysis).

Security: Cryptography, HSMs, and penetration testing methodologies.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's/Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

• Certifications: TOGAF, AWS/Azure Solutions Architect, Certified Blockchain Architect

• Experience: 8+ years in enterprise architecture, with 3+ years in blockchain/fintech.

• Proficient in system design, integration, and implementation across multiple technology domains.

• Proven track record in deploying scalable financial systems (e.g., payment gateways, digital wallets, stablecoin or cryptocurrency systems preferred)

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP), containerization (Kubernetes), and DevOps practices.

• Excellent communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.

• Understanding of financial regulations, compliance, and security standards.

• Expected Deliverables

• Architecture Blueprints: Comprehensive designs for stablecoin infrastructure, including node orchestration and liquidity pools.

• Integration Roadmap: Strategy for legacy system modernization and API gateway implementation.

• Compliance Reports: Documentation aligning architecture with regulatory requirements.

• Proof-of-Concept Prototypes: Demonstrations of key features (e.g., mint/burn mechanisms).

• Technical Documentation: System diagrams, failure recovery plans, and API specs.

• Risk Mitigation Plan: Security audit findings and disaster recovery protocols.

• Performance Metrics: Benchmarks for throughput, latency, and system uptime.

• This role combines technical depth with strategic vision to build a stablecoin platform that bridges traditional finance and decentralized ecosystems. The ideal candidate will balance innovation with operational rigor to deliver a secure, compliant, and user-centric solution.
