Duties Description The Department of Financial Services (DFS) is seeking to fill the position of Financial Technology Attorney with significant experience in the emerging financial technology sector. Financial Technology (“fintech”) is evolving outside the traditional financial and banking system, largely driven by non-bank entities, including venture capital-backed fintech startups and emerging companies, as well as non-traditional providers. These entities are often experimenting in an unregulated environment. Fintech innovation changes a customers’ experience and expectations by promoting a client-centric and interactive approach to financial and banking services.

DFS seeks to evaluate existing rules to better address both the opportunities and challenges presented by new technologies, while simultaneously protecting consumers, markets, and investors. The selected candidate will assess risks from fintech innovation as they are identified and address them, while simultaneously promoting innovation and encouraging ongoing dialogue with the fintech industry. The candidate will examine existing regulations and draft proposals of new regulations to enable more effective supervision of the fintech sector. The ideal candidate will be able to analyze and compare the rapidly evolving domestic and global fintech legislative and regulatory frameworks, analyze legal questions arising under the Banking and regulatory laws relating to the financial industry, and effectively interact with state-chartered banks, licensed branches and agencies of foreign banking corporations, etc.
