As a Senior Director of Software Engineering on a platform engineering team at a leading global financial institution, you lead multiple technical areas, manage the activities of multiple departments, and collaborate across technical domains to shape the future of how software is architected and developed across the enterprise. Your expertise is applied cross-functionally to drive the adoption and implementation of reusable frameworks and technical methods, and to keep the organization at the forefront of industry trends, best practices, and technological advances. AI has reset the clock on how fast large organizations must adapt, and it raises both the stakes and the payoff of getting reuse right. We design our components to be agent-native (consumable by LLMs, agents, and modern developer tooling by default, with living documentation), so the building blocks engineers and agents reach for tomorrow are the ones we create today. This is a chance to work on genuinely hard problems and build solutions that scale across one of the largest technology organizations in the world. We offer opportunities for career advancement, impactful work using a range of modern technologies, and a supportive, inclusive environment where your ideas matter. Join us to make a difference for our customers and the engineering community.
