• Lead delivery from discovery through production adoption and ongoing operation.
• Translate strategic objectives into a roadmap with milestones, dependencies, risks, and ownership.

• Ensure APIs represent clear business capabilities rather than internal system complexity.
• Promote pragmatic reuse and challenge unnecessary abstraction and duplication.
• Establish engineering practices across design, coding, testing, security, documentation, observability, and production operations.
• Apply situational leadership and protect the team from unnecessary organizational noise.
• Partner with Principal and Lead Engineers while keeping implementation ownership within the team.
• Clarify ownership for semantics, source data, contracts, implementation, reliability, and support.
• Collaborate across Application Foundation, Platform, Architecture, Product, Data, Security, and domain teams.

• Track record delivering secure, reliable, production-grade software.
• Technical depth to challenge architecture and implementation constructively.
• Strong C#/.NET and backend engineering knowledge, with experience across APIs, cloud, testing, CI/CD, observability, and distributed systems.
• Ability to navigate distributed ownership, influence across boundaries, and communicate clearly.
• Personal accountability and comfort making decisions with incomplete information.

GOOD TO HAVE

• Financial systems, capital markets, investment management, or another regulated domain.
• Establishing a new engineering team or capability.
• Platform capabilities used by multiple products.
• Familiarity with SimCorp One, SimCorp Dimension, or comparable platforms.

BENEFITS

• Empowerment: We believe all voices are valuable and should be heard. You will be involved in shaping our technical direction and ways of working.
