## Description

We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Sr. Associate Director, Software Engineering.

The Opportunity We're seeking a Sr. Associate Director, Software Engineering to set AI-enabled engineering direction across platform and product. This role focuses on practical patterns and tooling - including agent-based approaches - that improve how teams build, test, release and operate software.

You’ll partner closely with engineering, product, architecture, operations and Risk, InfoSec and compliance to embed AI responsibly in production with the right controls and operational readiness.

A key part of the remit is delivering AI-enabled improvements across Product Control and Valuation control workflows such as IPV, price testing and breaks and exceptions.

You’ll also strengthen developer experience through better tooling, automation and self-service.

Success means scalable patterns that teams adopt easily with measurable improvements in quality, productivity, reliability and risk outcomes.

Responsibilities:

- Set AI-enabled engineering patterns and agent-based tooling approaches that improve SDLC outcomes across teams

- Embed AI capabilities into production services with appropriate controls, operational readiness and explainability where relevant

- Strengthen developer experience through developer tooling, CI/CD optimisation, test automation, observability standards and self-service enablement

- Standardise evaluation of AI proof of concepts then run pilots with clear measures across quality, productivity, reliability and risk

- Industrialise successful pilots into reusable components, templates, accelerators and golden path implementations for squads to adopt

- Govern architecture and technical design through reviews and trade-offs across resilience, performance, maintainability, security, cost and pace

- Embed secure-by-default delivery by automating IT controls and evidence capture in engineering patterns and CI/CD pipelines

- Advance AI-enabled delivery in Product Control and Valuation controls including audit-ready evidence capture, lineage, approval trails and repeatable checks

- Establish data quality and reconciliation patterns to validate valuation inputs, detect anomalies and automate reconciliations to reduce manual effort

Requirements:

- Bring substantial hands-on software engineering experience within complex enterprise or financial-services environments

- Demonstrate experience operating as a senior technical individual contributor such as Senior Technical Lead, Principal Engineer or Lead Developer

- Build reference implementations and reusable engineering assets that squads can adopt with minimal friction

- Apply strong software engineering fundamentals across design patterns, data structures, algorithms and system architecture

- Implement AI-enabled software engineering approaches at scale including agent-based and AI tooling across build, test, release and run

- Establish end-to-end evaluation approaches from proof of concept to production with measurement frameworks and operational readiness

- Design and deliver cloud-native architectures on platforms such as GCP or AWS with scalable modular patterns

- Automate IT control compliance within products and CI/CD pipelines and operate effectively in audit-ready environments

- Partner effectively across engineering, product, architecture, operations and Risk, InfoSec and compliance with clear written and verbal communication
