Principal Consultant – FinTech Platform Delivery

Intellibus Consulting is a boutique engineering and AI transformation firm that builds mission-critical platforms for global financial institutions. We are hands-on builders who operate at the intersection of engineering excellence, business outcomes, and executive-level delivery. Every leader at Intellibus is expected to stay close to the technology and the client.

Job Description

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Technical Delivery Lead to drive large-scale fintech and banking platform programs under aggressive timelines.

You will work directly with C-level and VP-level client stakeholders, translate business goals into executable engineering plans, and ensure delivery across distributed teams meets enterprise standards for reliability, security, and performance.

Client & Executive Engagement

• Translate business priorities into technical delivery plans and milestones.

Consulting & Program Execution

• Lead large fintech programs in consulting environments.
• Navigate shifting priorities, scope changes, and regulatory pressures.

• Prior experience in engineering consulting environments is required.
• Proven track record in managing programs with tight regulatory and client deadlines.

Technical Depth

• Strong understanding of:
• Distributed systems and microservices
• APIs and event-driven architectures
• Cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
• CI/CD pipelines and release management
• Data pipelines, batch processing, and reconciliation flows
• Monitoring, alerting, and incident response
• Able to challenge architects and engineers on design and implementation.

Business & Leadership Skills
