Description
We are seeking a senior technology leader to partner closely with the Head of Technology for Enterprise Solutions in shaping the technology direction of a complex, regulated financial-services estate.
This is a hands-on principal engineer and architect role, not a pure governance or advisory architecture function. The role exists to ensure technology strategy is grounded in engineering reality, deep domain understanding, and operational outcomes.
Responsibilities:
- Work directly with the Head of Technology to shape and refine strategy, stress-testing ideas against engineering, regulatory, and operational constraints.
- Engage closely with senior engineering leaders, platform teams, and product partners to turn strategy into real designs that can be built and run.
- Get involved early in complex or high-risk initiatives and step in when it matters most, including during major incidents and recovery efforts.
- Act as the engineering authority across Enterprise Solutions, leading primarily through influence rather than line management.
- Balance long-term strategy with near-term delivery constraints, operational resilience, and regulatory expectations.
Requirements:
- 25+ years of technology leadership experience in tier-1 banking, capital markets, or other highly regulated, mission-critical environments.
- Proven expertise in enterprise architecture and technology strategy, including defining multi-year roadmaps and architectural governance.
- Strong technical depth in distributed, event-driven, data-intensive systems, cloud platforms, security, resilience, and regulatory compliance.
- Deep domain knowledge of financial services and emerging technologies.
Benefits:
- Health & Wellness: Health care coverage designed for the mind and body.
- Flexible Downtime: Generous time off helps keep you energized for your time on.
- Continuous Learning: Access a wealth of resources to grow your career and learn valuable new skills.
- Invest in Your Future: Competitive pay, retirement planning, and financial wellness programs.
- Family Friendly Perks: Perks for your partners and little ones, too.
