To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:
Significant experience leading full stack software engineering teams in enterprise environments.
Strong hands-on or leadership experience across frontend, backend, APIs, middleware, databases, and cloud/infrastructure-integrated application architecture.
Proven ability to lead large-scale platform enhancements, modernization, or transformation programs.
Experience managing engineering delivery in regulated, control-focused, or operationally critical environments.
Strong understanding of software engineering practices including system design, CI/CD, automated testing, code review, and production support.
Demonstrated ability to work across business, operations, and technology teams in a matrixed organization.
Experience using or promoting AI-enabled software engineering practices such as intelligent coding assistance, AI-supported testing, workflow automation, knowledge retrieval, or operational analytics.
Strong communication skills with the ability to engage senior stakeholders and articulate engineering outcomes in business terms.
Experience in people leadership, coaching, and performance management.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in financial services, asset servicing, trust, custody, or adjacent platform-based enterprise domains.
Exposure to domain modernization involving workflow controls, exception reduction, auditability, and service resilience.
Familiarity with event-driven architecture, microservices, API-first design, and modern UI engineering practices.
Experience with data-driven engineering management, platform metrics, and operational insight tooling.
Understanding of AI governance, responsible AI usage, and practical enterprise adoption patterns.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
The ideal candidate is a strong engineering leader who can balance delivery, architecture, people leadership, and platform control needs. They bring an AI-first mindset not as a buzzword, but as a practical operating model—using AI to improve how teams build, test, support, and evolve software. They are comfortable leading in a complex enterprise setting and can connect engineering execution to operational resilience, modernization, and business impact.
