I am searching for a Director of Architecture for my client, a global B2B SaaS company operating in the fraud prevention and financial technology space. Their secure, high-scale platforms help financial institutions and enterprises protect against fraud, manage risk, and respond to emerging threats in real time.

This is a strategic and hands-on architecture role at the centre of their product evolution and innovation strategy. The successful candidate will work across three major platform areas :

• A mature platform used by large-scale enterprise clients in regulated environments
• A cloud-native product offering real-time fraud prevention and risk analysis
• A new machine learning platform being developed to support AI-native capabilities and data science experimentation

The role is split evenly between :

You’ll work closely with the CTO, Chief Architect, and Product and Engineering leadership to define platform direction, build and validate new technical concepts, and help translate AI opportunities into monetizable product features. This is a highly collaborative role requiring both architectural strategy and hands-on technical experimentation.

If you're an experienced architect with a track record of prototyping complex systems, working at scale, and exploring AI-led innovation, this is an opportunity to join a well-funded, product-led company at a pivotal point in its evolution.
