As an expert in your field, your insights influence budget and technical considerations to advance operational efficiencies and functionalities.

Job responsibilities

- Sets and scales operating practices for enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering and SDLC/TLM automation across multiple teams to improve delivery speed, quality, and operational outcomes; establishes measurable expectations (e.g., throughput, defect reduction, reliability) and ensures consistent validation, security, resiliency, and reuse of proven patterns.

- Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to drive efficiency and support capacity unlock initiatives across teams, prioritizing reuse of existing firm technology assets.

- Lead and develop a team of full-stack engineers delivering Java/Spring Boot services and React/Angular UI experiences.

- Own delivery outcomes (scope, timelines, quality, operational readiness) and manage execution through Agile planning and sprint ceremonies.

- Establish and enforce engineering standards: secure coding, code reviews, test strategy, CI/CD quality gates, and observability.

- Drive platform reliability and operational excellence: incident response readiness, root-cause analysis, preventative controls, and reduction of repeat issues.

- Partner with Product, Design, Data & Analytics, and dependent platform teams to refine requirements, manage dependencies, and deliver iteratively.

- Influence architecture and technical strategy across services and domains; ensure scalability, resiliency, and performance objectives are met.

- Coach and mentor engineers and technical leads; build a strong talent pipeline through hiring, onboarding, and performance management.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills

- Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience . In addition, 2 + years of experience leading technologists to manage and solve complex technical items within your domain of expertise

- Strong background in full-stack development: Java/Spring Boot microservices and React or Angular (TypeScript/JavaScript).

- Experience with event-driven architectures and integrations (e.g., Kafka producers/consumers), including retries, idempotency, DLQs, error handling, failure recovery, and operational readiness.

- Experience with cloud and platform technologies (e.g., AWS and/or Cloud Foundry, containers, CI/CD pipelines).

- Strong engineering fundamentals in automated testing, performance, observability and monitoring tools, and operational stability.

- Demonstrated ability to lead cross-team delivery, manage competing priorities, and drive alignment across stakeholders.

- Strong experience in providing software solutions using SQL and No SQL databases and performance tuning.

- Working knowledge of secure engineering practices and designing to meet Cyber Security and Technology Control requirements (e.g., authentication/authorization, secure APIs, data protection, dependency hygiene).

- Experience leading multi-team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and delivery tools, including defining governance/ways of working (human-in-the-loop validation, quality gates), measuring outcomes, and ensuring secure handling of sensitive inputs/outputs.

- Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, resiliency/security implications, and control expectations; ability to coach managers/leads and influence leaders on safe scaling patterns.

- Practical cloud native experience
