• Conduct post-release reviews to capture learnings, validate CPF compliance in production, and drive continuous improvement.
• Stay current with SAMA regulatory updates, proactively identifying implications for existing and upcoming product features.

• Hands-on experience with mobile banking applications, understanding the unique UX, compliance, and technical constraints of digital finance on iOS and Android.
• A technology background is essential; experience in software development, systems analysis, or front-end awareness is strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with UX/UI design principles and the ability to collaborate effectively with designers, understanding wireframes, user flows, and design systems.
• Strong command of Agile and Scrum practices within regulated delivery environments.
• Hands-on proficiency with:
