Job responsibilities
  • Executes creative software solutions, design, development, and technical troubleshooting with ability to think beyond routine or conventional approaches to build solutions or breakdown technical problems
  • Develops secure and high-quality production code, and reviews and debugs code written by others
  • Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team.
  • Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation.
  • Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall operational stability of software applications and systems
  • Leads evaluation sessions with external vendors, startups, and internal teams to drive outcomes-oriented probing of architectural designs, technical credentials, and applicability for use within existing systems and information architecture
  • Owns the architecture and multi-quarter technical roadmap for a multi-service observability platform running on Kubernetes, including the shared internal library contracts every service consumes and the versioning and migration strategy across consumers
  • Designs the data layer end to end: schema and query design against distributed SQL and large-scale Oracle datasets, plus the migration tooling and rollback strategy that keeps changes safe in production
  • Defines the observability model, owning how the platform emits and publishes metrics, logs, and traces, and setting the standard for what constitutes a meaningful signal versus noise
  • Serves as the senior technical voice to leadership, control partners, and internal audit, translating platform evidence into decisions and control requirements into engineering work
 
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience
  • Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability
  • Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security.
  • Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices
  • Proficient in all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle
  • Advanced understanding of agile methodologies such as CI/CD, Application Resiliency, and Security
  • In-depth knowledge of the financial services industry and their IT systems
  • Practical cloud native experience
 
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
  • Hands-on depth with observability tooling at an advanced level: OpenTelemetry instrumentation, Prometheus-compatible metric backends, Splunk, and Grafana, including alert rule design, datasource configuration, and custom dashboarding beyond out-of-the-box panels.
  • Production experience with Kubernetes and Helm in a regulated enterprise environment, distributed SQL (CockroachDB or another Postgres-compatible distributed database), advanced SQL against large relational datasets, and schema migration tooling such as Liquibase.
  • Working knowledge of Identity and Access Management concepts including entitlements, certifications, provisioning and revocation, and SCIM, paired with experience building systems whose output is consumed by internal audit, regulators, or a formal control framework.
