Lead Architect - Digital Assets

posted by: spj_bot

We are hiring on behalf of our client, an established, leading European regulated financial institution who is expanding its digital assets capabilities to build the next generation of financial market infrastructure. The organization is seeking a Lead Architect – Digital Assets to lead a zero-to-one build, bridging traditional capital markets with decentralised finance (DeFi).

This mandate involves architecting the core platform behind initial tokenised offerings across two major live initiatives currently in design:

  1. Tokenised Issuance, Trading, and Settlement Platform: Supporting equities, ETFs, and bonds with a 24/7 central limit order book, fractional trading, CCP-cleared trades, and end-of-day atomic DvP settlement on-chain.
  2. Tokenised Collateral-Management Platform: Designed for sovereign bonds to enable real-time repo, CCP-margin eligibility, and DeFi distribution of government securities through gated lending venues.

The architecture is built on core principles: the token serves as the direct financial instrument, one ISIN corresponds to one ledger, and tokenisation is driven directly by the CSD. The Lead Architect will turn these principles into a concrete, secure, resilient, and auditable infrastructure.
