We are seeking a hands-on engineer to support the Emerging Technologies function within the FinTech & Emerging Tech CoE. This role focuses on adapting and building new technologies including digital asset and tokenization capabilities, delivering high-impact experiments and scalable reference architectures aligned with the bank’s strategic priorities. You will work across engineering, experimentation, and business collaboration to translate emerging technologies into practical, enterprise-ready solutions.

Job Responsibilities:

Engineering and Platform Development: Design, build, and integrate software and infrastructure for emerging technology initiatives, including blockchain-based solutions, smart contracts, APIs, and microservices.

• Develop reference architectures and standards in line with security, cryptographic, and enterprise architecture policies and best practices.
• Work hands-on with containerization, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code to support emerging technology workloads.
• Develop tools as needed to support automation and maintenance across the emerging technology SDLC.

Experimentation and Prototyping:

• Build PoCs and MVPs with a clear path to product ionization, ensuring design decisions account for scalability, security, and operational constraints from the outset
• Run small, high-impact experiments to validate use cases and identify quick wins.
• Set up and manage sandbox and test environments.
• Document outcomes and recommend scaling approaches.

Collaboration and Technology Evaluation:

• Work with business stakeholders to assess solution maturity and use-case applicability, including build vs buy vs partner assessments and RFI / RFP / RFQs.
• Translate functional and non-functional requirements into technical designs and working solutions.
• Contribute to defining architecture patterns, governance frameworks, and design standards for digital asset implementations.

Scaling and Operationalization:

• Evolve PoCs into enterprise-grade solutions with production readiness (etc. resilience, scalability, security).
• Develop tools and playbooks for continued support and maintenance of deployed assets (e.g., monitoring, testing, forensics).
• Enable integration with external ecosystems, marketplaces, and digital asset networks.
• Document and track technology debt and key business continuity risk items with defined action plans.

Job Requirement:

• Minimum 6-15 years of experience in software engineering and architecture.
• Hands on expertise in building and delivering solutions on DLT platforms (Ethereum, Hyperledger, Corda)
• Experience developing production-grade Digital Assets solutions, such as tokenization platforms, lifecycle management, custody solutions, compliance / risk management systems, interoperability protocols, etc.
• Strong programming skills (etc. Java, Typescript / NodeJS, Python, Go, Solidity and / or Rust).
• Experience in scalable API, WebSocket, Microservices, Event-Based and Cloud-Native architectures.
• Experience working with various emerging technologies across infrastructure to application layers.
• Hands-on experience with containerization, orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code tooling (e.g., Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD systems)
• Practical understanding of applied cryptography and secure system design, particularly in regulated or financial environments.
• Strong problem-solving capabilities and ability to operate in agile, fast-paced experimental environments.
• Effective communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted due to the high volume of applications.
