VP, Full Stack Engineering Lead (Equity), Wealth Management Technology, Group Technology

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Architectural Leadership & Evolution: Drive the technical vision and evolution of the equity execution ecosystem into a cloud-native, microservices-based architecture of shared capabilities on modern container platforms such as OpenShift or Kubernetes.
• Equity Product Alignment: Identify architectural commonalities across Cash Equities, Equity Swaps, Listed Derivatives, and Structured Equity products, designing reusable services that address shared execution, pricing, and platform needs.
• Hands-on Technical Execution: Lead, mentor, and guide engineering squads while driving common engineering standards, reusable code patterns, and unified design reviews across equity product lines.
• High-Throughput Streaming & Messaging: Design and optimize low-latency equity transaction flows, real-time market data distribution, and event-driven architectures using WebSockets and modern messaging platforms such as AMQ or Kafka.
• Full-Stack Platform Delivery: Champion resilient server-side architectures using Java, Spring Boot, and Python, alongside interactive ReactJS frontends that support real-time operational workflows, equity risk views, and trade lifecycle flows.
• Market Data & Analytics Integration: Orchestrate real-time equity market data ingestion from sources such as Bloomberg, Reuters, and exchange feeds, and integrate pricing models, volatility surfaces, and analytics engines into the equity transaction lifecycle.
• Ecosystem Innovation: Evaluate and deploy emerging technologies—including AI coding assistants, NLP applications, and LLM integrations—to improve developer productivity and modernize the equity engineering ecosystem.
• Stakeholder Partnership: Serve as a key technical advisor to product owners, business heads, and senior leadership across equity desks, translating business needs into cohesive technical roadmaps and execution plans.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Proven Track Record: 9+ years of experience in enterprise financial environments such as Tier 1 investment banks or institutional FinTechs, with proven success leading Agile engineering squads focused on equity trading platforms.
• Full-Stack Technical Mastery: Expert-level, hands-on engineering capability across Java (Spring Boot), ReactJS, and Python.
• Cloud-Native & Container Depth: Practical experience architecting and migrating platforms to modern container orchestrators (such as Kubernetes or OpenShift), with strong CI/CD automation expertise.
• Shared Services Mindset: Demonstrated ability to identify overlapping business and technical requirements across equity product desks and consolidate them into robust, reusable services.
• High-Availability Systems Design: Proven success designing and delivering high-performance, low-latency equity platforms such as electronic order management systems (OMS/EMS), algorithmic execution hubs, real-time risk platforms, or equivalent high-throughput streaming systems for equities.
• Deep Equity Domain Knowledge: Strong expertise across Cash Equities, Equity Swaps, Delta-One, and Listed/Exotic Equity Derivatives, with a clear understanding of trade lifecycles, STP, and electronic distribution.
• Resilient Engineering Practices: Strong commitment to software craftsmanship, including TDD, automation, memory profiling, performance stress testing, and clean-code architectural patterns.
• Innovation-Driven: Active experience or strong interest in leveraging AI assistant coding tools and LLMs to optimize team delivery and software engineering lifecycles.
• Academic & Professional Credentials: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline. Agile or cloud certifications such as PMI-ACP or CKAD are preferred.
