• Partner with engineers and architects to evolve custody services and integrations (APIs/events) to trading, settlement, and accounting platforms, with attention to resiliency, auditability, and operational controls.
• Contribute to custody security and control design by capturing control requirements in stories, partnering on threat/risk reviews, and supporting evidence collection for audits (e.g., MPC/HSM usage, access governance, segregation of duties).
• Own end-to-end feature delivery across custody workflows including UAT support, runbooks, and go-live readiness with operations.
• Support build-vs-buy evaluations by gathering requirements, comparing vendor capabilities, and documenting tradeoffs across security, regulatory expectations, resilience, cost, and time to market.
