Who We Are

About the Opportunity

What You’ll Be Doing

• Product Strategy and Architecture
  - Establish the target vision, operating principles and roadmap for ledger, settlement, reconciliation and client asset controls.
  - Map end-to-end funds and asset flows across deposits, withdrawals, trades, fees, transfers, financing, staking and other relevant products.
  - Partner with Architecture and Engineering to define scalable services, APIs, event schemas, data contracts, system boundaries and resilience requirements.
  - Make evidence-based build-versus-buy decisions and prevent fragmented point solutions from becoming the operating model.

• Ledger and Books and Records
  - Define requirements for double-entry ledgering, journals, balances, positions and transaction traceability.
  - Establish clear lineage from the originating operational event through the subledger and financial reporting environment.
  - Ensure the platform handles reversals, corrections, fees, foreign exchange, internal transfers, failed transactions, duplicated events and delayed events.
  - Work with Finance to maintain controlled alignment between operational books and records and the ERP or general ledger.

• Settlement and Reconciliation
  - Design workflows for fiat and digital asset settlement, including cut-offs, confirmations, status management, retries and failure handling.
  - Build automated multi-way reconciliation across trading engines, payment systems, banks, custodians, wallets, blockchain records, subledgers and ERP systems.
  - Define configurable matching rules, tolerances, materiality levels, frequencies and escalation thresholds.
  - Create near-real-time detection for missing, duplicated, delayed or incorrectly recorded transactions where feasible and proportionate.

• Operational Tooling and Controls
  - Build operator interfaces that support investigation and resolution without routine dependence on engineering queries or spreadsheets.
  - Incorporate maker-checker approvals, role-based access, segregation of duties, evidence retention and complete audit histories.
  - Define monitoring and alerting for data completeness, balance integrity, settlement failures, reconciliation breaks and control execution.
  - Support audit, regulatory examination and financial-reporting requirements with reproducible system evidence.

• Delivery and Stakeholder Leadership
  - Lead discovery, requirements definition, prioritization, testing, rollout and post-launch improvement.
  - Write clear product requirements, workflow diagrams, data definitions, control requirements and acceptance criteria.
  - Coordinate operational readiness across Product, Engineering, Operations, Finance, Treasury, Custody, Risk and Compliance.
  - Lead data migration, backfilling and parallel-run validation before replacing existing controls or processes.
  - Communicate roadmap priorities, risks, dependencies and measurable outcomes to senior management.
