• Proven ability to design scalable systems and clearly communicate architectural decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong business-oriented mindset, with the ability to connect technical decisions to product and organizational impact.
• Experience in payments, fintech, or digital financial systems is a plus.
