Distinguished Engineer - CTO (BFSI)

We are a Digital Product Engineering company that is scaling in a big way! We build products, services, and experiences that inspire, excite, and delight. We work at scale — across all devices and digital mediums, and our people exist everywhere in the world (18000+ experts across 28 countries, to be exact). Our work culture is dynamic and non-hierarchical. We are looking for great new colleagues. That is where you come in! ABOUT THE ROLE We are seeking an exceptional individual — one who has lived inside global financial institutions at the most senior technology and business levels and now wants to channel that expertise to shape the next wave of BFSI transformation at a global scale. As the "Thinker" on the leadership triad, you are the intellectual anchor of our BFSI Business Unit. This is not a consulting role. This is an influence role. You are the person who walks into a room with a Global CTO of a G-SIB and is immediately treated as a peer. You author the Points of View (PoVs) that shape how our clients think about their most pressing challenges. You are the compass that keeps our solutions authentic, differentiated, and commercially relevant. WHAT YOU WILL OWN Serve as the definitive BFSI domain authority for the BU, the go-to voice on banking, capital markets, insurance, payments, and wealth management. Co-develop and articulate compelling, differentiated BFSI Points of View (PoVs) on themes such as core banking modernization, AI-driven underwriting, real-time payments infrastructure, open banking, ESG risk frameworks, and embedded finance. Lead client advisory engagements at the CTO, CIO, CDO, and Chief Risk Officer level, helping clients navigate technology strategy, architecture decisions, and transformation roadmaps. Act as the intellectual sparring partner to the Hustler (Sales) shaping pursuit strategy, deal positioning, and executive narratives that resonate with sophisticated financial institution buyers.
