  • Coordination between other development teams and shared services teams including Platform and Security.

What You’ll Bring:

  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering and 4+ managing engineers; still comfortable in the code and familiar with CI/CD pipelines
  • Hands-on experience with AI coding tools in production workflows and informed views on AI in regulated financial services
  • Track record leading teams whose success depends on tight cross-team coordination and high quality delivery
  • Strong full-stack background with some combination of Java, Ruby, Javascript, and React and experience with microservice-based architectures on AWS or GCP
  • Fluency with Agile delivery, preferably with scaled models such as SAFe
  • Positive attitude and exemplary communication skills
