Senior Reconciliation Engineer

Client of Hire Fellows

Main Responsibilities

Reconciliation Engine Ownership

• Lead the end-to-end implementation and fine-tuning of automated reconciliation engines (e.g. ReconArt, Gresham, TLM, or bespoke internal tooling).
• Define and continuously improve matching rule logic to maximise Straight-Through Processing (STP) rates and minimise manual intervention.

Remittance & FX Logic

• Design automated workflows to handle high-volume cross-border remittances across multiple corridors.
• Own the reconciliation of Instruction Amount vs. Settlement Amount, accounting for FX spreads, intermediary bank fees, value-date differences, and corridor-specific settlement rules.
• Develop sophisticated detection logic for 'hidden' fees and deductions that break standard matching.

Data Architecture & Integration

• Map and transform diverse message formats: ISO 20022 (XML), SWIFT MT103/MT202, SARIE, JSON feeds, and custom CSV bank statements from partner institutions.
• Collaborate with Engineering on API integrations to ensure upstream data quality at ingestion.

Stakeholder Liaison

• Serve as the primary translator between Finance (GAAP/IFRS requirements, audit readiness) and Engineering (API design, database management, system architecture).
• Own the definition of functional requirements for all reconciliation-related system changes.

Audit, Control & Reporting

• Build and maintain reporting dashboards that provide full transparency for internal audits and SAMA regulatory reviews.
• Establish documented controls and reconciliation policies as we scale toward formal audit and compliance frameworks.
