[TRIBE Innovation] • 2026

Job Description:

The financial industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by Digital Assets, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), and next-generation data platforms. Euroclear is at the forefront of this evolution, building the foundations of a Digital Asset Platform that will power future market infrastructures.

The Innovation Tribe is responsible for delivering these transformative capabilities, shaping how digital assets are issued, managed, and exchanged across ecosystems.

We are looking for a Digital Asset System Architect (Platform Focus) who will define, evolve, and safeguard the vision of the Digital Asset Platform. You will act as the technical authority and guardian of the platform, ensuring that all teams contribute to a coherent, scalable, secure, and future-proof architecture.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of architecture strategy, platform governance, and innovation, where you will shape the long-term foundation of Euroclear’s digital asset capabilities while enabling teams to deliver efficiently and consistently.

Summary

In this role, you will drive the evolution of the Digital Asset Platform, ensuring alignment between strategic vision and day-to-day delivery.

You will work closely with engineering teams, solution architects, product leaders, and external partners, guiding architectural decisions, validating implementations, and continuously improving the platform’s capabilities.

Your mission is to ensure that the platform remains consistent, reusable, secure, and scalable, while enabling innovation and accelerating delivery across multiple initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Define & Own Platform Vision
  Define and maintain the target architecture and long-term vision for the Digital Asset Platform, ensuring alignment with business strategy and innovation goals.
• Drive Platform Evolution
  Continuously evolve platform capabilities (DLT, APIs, data, integration, security) to meet emerging business needs and technological opportunities.
• Architecture Governance & Assurance
  Ensure that all teams follow the platform architecture principles, standards, and patterns, validating designs and implementations against the defined vision.
• Act as Platform Design Authority
  Review solution designs, challenge inconsistencies, and ensure coherence across initiatives, acting as a trusted technical authority.
• Enable Teams & Provide Guidance
  Support engineering teams and solution architects by providing clear guidance, reusable patterns, and architectural best practices, enabling efficient and aligned delivery.
• Standardisation & Reuse
  Define reference architectures, reusable components, and “golden paths” to reduce fragmentation and accelerate delivery across teams
• Platform Integration & Ecosystem Alignment
  Ensure alignment across platform components (DLT, APIs, cloud, data, security) and integration with internal and external ecosystems.
• Security, Compliance & Resilience by Design
  Ensure the platform adheres to security, compliance, and operational resilience requirements, embedding these principles into architecture decisions.
• Stakeholder Collaboration & Influence
  Partner with product, engineering, GTS, CISO, and external providers to ensure alignment and adoption of platform standards.
• Innovation & Technology Watch
  Stay ahead of industry and technology trends (DLT, tokenization, digital assets), evaluating their impact and integrating relevant innovations into the platform.

Must Have

• Deep experience in platform architecture, preferably in cloud-native and distributed systems environments
• Strong knowledge of DLT / digital asset platforms / blockchain ecosystems. 
• Proven experience defining and governing architecture standards, patterns, and roadmaps
• Strong understanding of API-driven architectures, event-driven systems, and integration patterns
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure preferred), CI/CD, and DevSecOps practices
• Strong expertise in security-by-design, identity models, and compliance frameworks
• Ability to balance strategic vision with pragmatic delivery constraints
• Proven ability to guide multiple teams without direct authority
• Strong communication and influencing skills across business and technical stakeholders

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to AI agents / Agentic AI concepts, including how autonomous agents can orchestrate workflows and service flow
• Familiarity with financial services or market infrastructure

You Are:

• A visionary architect who can define a clear target state and inspire teams to align with it

• A pragmatic decision-maker, able to balance innovation, risk, and delivery speed
• A natural influencer and collaborator, able to align diverse stakeholders without formal authority
• Passionate about digital assets, DLT, and the future of financial market infrastructure
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, evolving environments, shaping direction while delivery is ongoing
• Eager to continuously improve the platform and the way teams build on top of it
