Overview
Open Finance is redefining how financial data is accessed, shared, and used. At Mastercard, we are building a global platform that gives consumers and businesses secure, intelligent control over their financial data—powering account aggregation, payments, and real-time decisioning.
This is a multi-region, market-facing platform operating across the US, Europe, and APAC with strict data residency requirements, high availability expectations, and strong trust guarantees. The architecture spans API gateways, identity and consent, distributed data systems, analytics platforms, and regulated integrations with financial institutions.

Architecture is central to how we solve these problems.
We are looking for a VP of Architecture to lead the technical direction of Open Finance platforms. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has built complex systems, made difficult trade-offs, and delivered real outcomes.
