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.
This is not a PMO or reporting-only role. You are expected to understand systems deeply, challenge designs, drive technical decisions, and own outcomes.
