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

- Fluency with Agile delivery, preferably with scaled models such as SAFe
