This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Director of Payments and Identity based in the Netherlands. In this role, you will build and lead a significant engineering domain responsible for the entire customer and money lifecycle. You will oversee approximately 30 engineers and engineering leaders across Payments, KYC/Identity, Anti-Fraud, and Core Ledger. The position combines organizational leadership, technical strategy, architecture, and operational excellence in a highly transactional environment. You will shape the integration of customer identity, fraud prevention, payment processing, and financial accounting into a cohesive ecosystem. Collaborating closely with Product, Finance, Compliance, Risk, Operations, and external providers, you will balance conversion, security, regulatory requirements, and financial integrity. This is a high-impact leadership opportunity to modernize critical systems and establish scalable engineering practices in a complex international setting.

Accountabilities

•

Build, scale, and lead the engineering domain covering Payments, KYC/Identity, Anti-Fraud, and Core Ledger.

•

Lead approximately 30 engineers and engineering leaders, defining organizational structures, team boundaries, leadership models, ownership areas, and reporting lines.

•

Establish the domain strategy, target architecture, and execution roadmap in close partnership with Product, Finance, Compliance, Risk, and Operations.

•

Ensure reliable interaction across the complete customer and money lifecycle, connecting KYC data, fraud controls, payment flows, and accurate financial records.

•

Improve the speed, quality, reliability, and predictability of integrations with payment service providers, KYC/AML vendors, and other external partners, particularly across regions with complex or inconsistent APIs.

•

Establish standards for resilient and observable external integrations, including fallback mechanisms, incident response processes, security controls, and integration quality.

•

Balance customer onboarding and payment conversion objectives with Anti-Fraud, AML, data protection, transaction monitoring, and traceability requirements.

•

Ensure Finance, Compliance, Risk, and Operations teams have reliable data, systems, and internal tools for reconciliation, investigations, exception management, and reporting.

•

Establish engineering standards across the domain covering architecture, software quality, secure development, observability, reliability, and continuous improvement.

•

Drive the modernization of business-critical systems and support the evolution toward a central, reliable, and authoritative Ledger architecture.

•

Define and monitor domain-level KPIs covering conversion, reliability, processing speed, fraud losses, reconciliation accuracy, engineering delivery, and cost efficiency.

•

Identify systemic technical and organizational risks and ensure they are addressed through sustainable architectural, process, and leadership improvements.

•

Align multiple senior stakeholders and external providers around competing priorities, ensuring clear ownership and effective execution.

Requirements

•

Proven experience leading a sizeable engineering organization or multiple cross-functional engineering teams, ideally involving around 30 or more people, including Engineering Managers, Team Leads, or senior technical leaders.

•

Demonstrated experience building or significantly scaling an engineering function, domain, or complex technology platform rather than solely managing an established organization.

•

Strong systems-thinking capabilities, able to connect customer journeys, product flows, technical architecture, operational processes, risk controls, and financial outcomes.

•

Extensive experience leading complex integrations and business-critical systems where correctness, availability, security, reliability, and auditability are essential.

•

Strong engineering and architectural foundations, with the ability to challenge technical decisions, guide senior technical leaders, and identify systemic risks.

•

Proven ability to improve engineering delivery predictability, software quality, technical standards, and operational effectiveness across multiple teams.

•

Strong stakeholder-management skills and the ability to align Product, Finance, Compliance, Risk, Operations, engineering teams, and external technology providers.

•

Fluent English and excellent communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

•

Experience in payments, fintech, banking, brokerage, crypto, wallets, marketplaces, or another high-volume transactional environment is highly valuable.

•

Experience integrating multiple regional payment service providers or financial providers, particularly in markets where integrations are less standardized than major global platforms.

•

Experience with KYC/Identity, AML, transaction monitoring, payment fraud prevention, reconciliation, or Ledger systems is a strong advantage.

•

Experience migrating fragmented or legacy accounting components toward a central Ledger or financial source of truth is beneficial.

•

Experience developing internal tools and workflows for Finance, Compliance, Risk, or operational back-office teams is a plus.

•

Strong organizational, strategic, and people-leadership capabilities, combined with a hands-on understanding of engineering and architecture.
