We are seeking a hands-on Vice President, Senior Full Stack Engineer to design and deliver business-critical applications while providing technical leadership across the engineering lifecycle. This is an individual-contributor role for an experienced engineer who remains deeply engaged in coding while guiding architecture, mentoring engineers, strengthening code quality, and partnering with stakeholders across business and technology functions.
The successful candidate will combine strong execution with sound judgment—evaluating architectural and implementation options, articulating trade-offs, identifying risks and dependencies early, and helping teams reach pragmatic decisions that support both near-term delivery and long-term platform health.
Role emphasis
: This is not a people-manager position. It is a senior technical IC role with significant ownership, influence, mentoring responsibility, and hands-on delivery expectations.
Design, develop, test, and deliver high-quality full-stack software solutions using Java, Spring Boot, Angular, Python, APIs, relational and non-relational data stores, and cloud-native technologies.
Remain hands-on with coding, debugging, automated testing, performance tuning, production troubleshooting, and implementation of complex or high-risk components.
Provide technical leadership for complex initiatives, shaping solution architecture, implementation strategy, integration patterns, and delivery approach from concept through production.
Evaluate architecture and technology options and clearly communicate trade-offs involving scalability, performance, security, resilience, maintainability, delivery speed, operational complexity, and total cost of ownership.
Lead and contribute to code reviews, design reviews, and engineering discussions, ensuring solutions meet quality, security, testing, observability, and supportability standards.
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pair programming, design discussions, troubleshooting, and practical guidance that improves technical judgment and independent ownership.
Partner with stakeholders across product, operations, risk, compliance, architecture, platform engineering, and business functions to understand objectives and translate them into pragmatic technology solutions.
Communicate technical concepts, delivery options, constraints, and recommendations in a clear manner tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Proactively identify technical, delivery, operational, security, and cross-team dependency risks early; assess potential impact, escalate appropriately, and drive mitigation plans before commitments are affected.
Coordinate dependencies across teams, platforms, shared services, and external partners to maintain alignment and predictable delivery.
Drive continuous improvement in engineering practices, including automation, testing, CI/CD, observability, reliability, security, developer experience, and production readiness.
Contribute to modernization efforts involving cloud adoption, containerized platforms, API-first design, event-driven architecture, reusable UI capabilities, workflow automation, and AI-enabled engineering practices.
Strong proficiency in Java and Spring Boot, with practical experience developing RESTful APIs, microservices, integrations, and distributed systems.
Strong front-end development experience with Angular, TypeScript, modern state-management patterns, responsive design, and component-based architecture.
Working proficiency in Python for application development, automation, data processing, or engineering productivity use cases.
Demonstrated experience making architecture and design decisions and explaining the reasoning, assumptions, risks, and trade-offs behind those decisions.
Experience with cloud-native platforms, containers, Kubernetes or OpenShift, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and secure software delivery practices.
Demonstrated ownership of complex initiatives, cross-team dependencies, production issues, and risk mitigation.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
Experience in financial services, wealth management, investment platforms, or another highly regulated environment.
Experience with event-driven systems, messaging platforms, asynchronous workflows, and resilient integration patterns.
Experience with application security, enterprise authentication and authorization, data protection, auditability, and regulatory controls.
Delivers complex, business-critical capabilities with strong quality, security, scalability, and operational stability.
Raises engineering standards through thoughtful code reviews, mentoring, reusable patterns, and disciplined production practices.
This role is best suited for a senior engineer who wants to remain close to the code while operating with broader organizational influence. The individual is expected to lead through technical depth, sound judgment, collaboration, and measurable delivery—not through direct people management.
