By combining deep sector expertise with modern infrastructure, we unlock liquidity across private equity, private credit, and real assets, transforming the industry and enabling investors to move faster and smarter.

We are looking for a Chief Architect to define and lead the technical vision behind Tangible’s platform and integration strategy with global banks and financial institutions. This role is ideal for a strategic yet hands-on technical leader with deep expertise in enterprise-grade integrations, financial protocols, security, and regulatory compliance. You will shape Tangible’s technical foundation — building scalable, secure, and interoperable systems that power liquidity across private markets.

*   Implement best practices for encryption, identity and access management (OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, SCIM), and overall data protection.
*   Define and uphold architectural standards, coding guidelines, and review processes to maintain quality and reliability across teams.

**Cross-Functional Collaboration**

*   Partner with product, engineering, compliance, and operations teams to translate complex business requirements into robust, scalable technical solutions.
*   Serve as the primary technical liaison in discussions with external partners, including banks, financial institutions, and vendors.

**Leadership & Mentorship**

*   Provide technical leadership and direction to engineering teams, ensuring architectural consistency and delivery excellence.
