Director of Engineering - Enterprise Financial Digital Platforms - J12741

About the Client: We are representing a globally recognized, top-tier financial services enterprise with a massive presence across the Asia-Pacific region. They are currently undergoing a major technological evolution to modernize their B2B digital ecosystems and decouple legacy infrastructure. Their engineering culture focuses on robust cloud adoption, API-led connectivity, and building highly scalable, resilient platforms. You will be joining an organization that backs its technology leaders with enterprise-scale budgets and a mandate to build things the right way.

The Role & Landscape:

You will serve as the "Digital Blueprint Owner" for the enterprise's critical B2B channels, driving holistic engineering transformation rather than just managing a single project.

• Engineering & Architectural Design: Own the architectural blueprint to build highly connected, self-service enterprise platforms utilizing modern cloud and microservice patterns.

• System Integration at Scale: Oversee the complex web of external portals and API gateways, ensuring they securely and seamlessly connect to massive internal core processing systems.

• Technical Delivery Execution: Spearhead the end-to-end delivery of modern B2B tools and capabilities, translating high-level business objectives into concrete technical roadmaps.

• Distributed Leadership: Lead, mentor, and manage cross-functional onshore/offshore development squads and vendor partners, utilizing your deep technical expertise to validate code quality and challenge vendor proposals.

What We Are Looking For: 

• Engineering Pedigree: 12+ years of technology delivery experience, transitioning from a hardcore Solution Architect or Principal Tech Lead background into a strategic leadership role. Top-tier educational background in Computer Science or a related engineering discipline is highly preferred.

• Core Technology Mastery: Deep, hands-on architectural knowledge of enterprise Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, and API Management ecosystems (e.g., MuleSoft, Apigee).

• Cloud Infrastructure: Practical, production-grade experience with AWS cloud services, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern CI/CD DevOps pipelines.

• Leadership Profile: You are an engineering-first leader. You must be technically formidable enough to command the respect of Band-level Tech Leads, while possessing the business acumen to negotiate with C-level stakeholders.

• Domain Agnostic: While financial services or B2B platform experience is beneficial, we are prioritizing pure technical excellence and delivery capability over specific industry backgrounds.

Why Apply To This Role: This is a rare opportunity to operate at a Director level where you retain ownership of the technical blueprint. You will not be sidelined into pure administration; instead, you will architect cutting-edge cloud frameworks and lead a massive engineering organization to deliver highly visible, mission-critical platforms for a global market leader.
