Chief Architect - Digital Banking
McLaren Strategic Solutions (MSS)
We’re seeking a Chief Architect to define and govern the technology ecosystem behind a next‑generation digital banking and stablecoin initiative. This role will unify modern banking, blockchain, and tokenized asset infrastructure into a single, secure, and scalable platform, connecting multiple best‑in‑class partners under a unified vision.
*Not open to C2C or external agencies.
Responsibilities
Define the overarching architectural vision and standards connecting multiple technology and banking partners into a cohesive, secure landscape.
Govern integration patterns and API frameworks to ensure interoperability, scalability, and data integrity across all platforms.
Drive the inclusion of partner‑delivered capabilities across blockchain, stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and traditional banking rails (ACH, cards, deposit accounts).
Establish and enforce standards for security, cryptography, scalability, observability, and reliability, leveraging cloud infrastructure (AWS / Azure / GCP) and Kubernetes orchestration.
Translate strategic business objectives into actionable architecture and ensure all partner solutions align technically and commercially.
Build trust and alignment across internal and external teams. Navigate complex partner relationships, driving architectural decisions without direct authority.
Create frameworks for documentation, compliance, and lifecycle management across a multi‑vendor ecosystem.
Required Experience
10+ years of experience in enterprise or solution architecture, including at least 5 years in financial services or retail banking.
Proven background in API‑driven integration, microservices, and cloud‑native architecture.
Hands‑on expertise with AWS, Azure, or GCP, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and enterprise‑grade security and encryption standards.
Strong understanding of payments, deposits, or digital banking systems and their integration with third‑party platforms.
Experience designing or governing multi‑partner ecosystems where data and services span multiple organizations.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior technical and business leaders.
