Technical Project Manager

As a highly skilled Technical Project Manager, you will be responsible for leading the design, implementation, and delivery of a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) based system focused on auditability, data integrity, and tamper-evident recordkeeping without relying on traditional blockchain frameworks. Your role will involve managing full-stack engineering teams, collaborating with solution architects, and delivering secure, cryptographically verifiable data systems aligned with compliance and governance requirements. Key Responsibilities: - Lead end-to-end delivery of the ledger-database platform using append-only, tamper-evident data models (DLT architecture). - Coordinate with engineering, DevOps, and InfoSec teams to ensure timely, secure, and auditable releases. - Translate solution architecture into detailed sprint plans with measurable deliverables and governance checkpoints. - Enforce MakerChecker and CAB-style release approvals in line with audit and compliance standards. - Oversee the design and implementation of: - Append-only ledger event stores with cryptographic hash chaining and periodic Merkle checkpoints. - Off-chain document storage (AWS S3 with AES-256-GCM encryption), maintaining only sha256/sha512 digests on-ledger. - Manage key lifecycle operations (creation, rotation, archival) using KMS/HSM, recording cryptographic fingerprints in governance logs. - Guarantee immutability and tamper evidence through hash chaining and WORM storage policies. - Establish daily Merkle root computation and optional external notarization anchoring. - Maintain detailed audit trails for all configuration changes, validator versioning, and deployment bundles. - Oversee governance events such as key rotations, CAB approvals, and validator updates. - Define and oversee the certificate verification flow, including: - File hash validation: sha256(file_bytes) vs. on-ledger digest. - Signature verification using issuers public key. - Hash chain and Merkle root integrity verification. - Drive security testing, performance validation, and audit compliance across verification pipelines. Qualification Required: - 10+ years of experience in technical project delivery and engineering management, ideally within fintech, DLT, or audit-grade data systems. - Strong knowledge of cryptographic primitives: SHA256, AES-GCM, ECDSA, Ed25519, Merkle Trees. - Hands-on experience with AWS (S3, RDS, ECS, CloudWatch, IAM, KMS/HSM). - Familiarity with Node.js, PostgreSQL, React.js, and Python environments. - Proven experience in secure document storage, API governance, and append-only data systems. - Working knowledge of CAB/MakerChecker workflows and compliance-driven release governance. - Excellent stakeholder management, technical documentation, and communication skills.
