The primary objective is to secure a senior technical authority who can bridge the gap between complex AML regulatory requirements and technical execution. The hiring manager is looking for a T-shaped leader: deep expertise in AML/KYC domain logic (specifically Firco and cross-border payments) combined with strong system integration and architecture skills.

The ideal candidate must not only design robust solutions but also govern technical standards, manage vendor relationships (specifically with Firco), and lead distributed teams across the APAC region. This is a high-stakes role requiring immediate impact on regulatory compliance and system stability.

Experience: 15+ years in technical roles (Solution Design/Integration/Implementation).

Domain Specificity: Minimum 10 years in International Banking focusing specifically on AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your Customer), and Compliance.

Platform Expertise: Proven experience with Firco (or similar AML screening platforms) and cross-border payment products.

Regional Focus: Extensive exposure to Asia Pacific (APAC) markets, including experience in regional banking transformations.

Technical Integration: Deep knowledge of payment processing systems, high-value transactions, and integrating AML platforms with core banking systems.

Regulatory Knowledge: In-depth understanding of financial sector security, compliance, and regulatory requirements.

Language: Proficiency in English (essential for managing distributed APAC teams).

Preferred Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field.

Certifications: TOGAF or other Enterprise Architecture certifications.

Work Authorization: Must be a Singaporean, PR, or EP holder (Critical for visa/logistics).

Modern Tech Stack: Experience with APIs, Microservices architecture, and modern development methodologies

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership: Define AML platform architecture, establish technical governance, and lead development teams.

Integration & Design: Lead end-to-end implementation of AML solutions, ensuring seamless integration with core banking and payment platforms.

Vendor & Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary technical liaison for vendors (e.g., Firco) and senior management.

Risk & Compliance: Mitigate technical risks, conduct code reviews, and ensure solutions meet strict regulatory standards.

Team Development: Mentor technical talent and drive innovation in AML products.
