The role ensures customers can onboard, authenticate, and transact securely and seamlessly, while protecting the bank from fraud, identity abuse, and financial crime.

• Engineering quality, resilience, and security-by-design
• Predictable delivery against time, cost, and risk
• Embed product-aligned, agile delivery with strong collaboration across Product, UX, Data, and Cyber.

• Drive continuous improvement through automation, CI/CD, and DevSecOps practices.

• Balance frictionless customer experience with strong authentication, authorization, and fraud controls.
• Enable risk-based and adaptive authentication aligned to customer behavior and transaction context.
• Ensure fraud detection capabilities support real-time decisioning with minimal false positives.
