Qualifications Required

• 1. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2. A minimum of 5 years of professional software engineering experience, including team leadership or supervisory responsibilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience delivering in a regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, insurance, or equivalent) where change control, audit trails, and examination readiness constrain how software ships
• Experience leading or working daily with globally distributed engineering teams across time zones
• Hiring and performance management fundamentals: structured interviewing, calibrated feedback, development planning, and the willingness to make hard calls on performance
• Agile delivery management: sprint planning, backlog hygiene, and flow metrics (cycle time, change failure rate, time to recover) used as improvement tools rather than scorecards
• Written communication strong enough to run an engineering team across time zones: decisions, handoffs, and status that hold up without a meeting
• Hands‑on background in the team’s core stack, current enough to review work credibly: Terraform and Ansible, Python or PowerShell scripting, Git‑based workflows, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps)
• Working knowledge of hybrid infrastructure: at least one major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) plus on‑premises virtualization (vSphere/ESXi, Nutanix AHV, or Hyper‑V)
• Working understanding of policy‑as‑code (OPA/Gatekeeper, Sentinel, Kyverno) and secrets management (Vault or cloud‑native equivalents), and why both are engineering disciplines rather than after‑the‑fact compliance gates
• Familiarity with orchestration and ITSM integration (ServiceNow ITOM, event‑driven automation, CMDB) sufficient to manage delivery against them
• Working understanding of how LLM‑assisted and agentic automation behaves in production: failure modes, evaluation, cost profiles, and the guardrails that keep agent‑initiated changes safe
• Experience managing, or shipping as a senior IC, at least one AI‑assisted capability through to production, including the operational questions that prototypes do not reveal
• Fluency with AI governance concepts (NIST AI RMF, model risk management basics) sufficient to manage compliance‑ready delivery without owning the risk framework
• Experience standing up or scaling a team in a Global Capability Center or offshore engineering hub, including the early mechanics of onboarding, knowledge transfer, and earning delivery trust - Prior Lead‑or Staff‑level individual contributor experience in automation or platform engineering
• Experience delivering an internal developer platform or self‑service portal (Backstage or equivalent), treating internal engineers as customers of the platform
• Experience with NIST CSF 2.0 or the FFIEC IT Examination Handbooks as working constraints on delivery
• AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or HashiCorp certifications; formal management or leadership training
• Experience partnering in a product operating model
