About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Architect and hands-on build the new ASP.NET Core / C# online banking platform - system design, service boundaries, data modeling and API contracts.
Design and implement critical features and platform components; lead code and design reviews, setting the technical bar.
Lead and mentor a small agile team - run sprints, unblock engineers, own delivery commitments, coach through 1:1s and pair programming.
Partner with Finance Group technology leaders, product, QA and security to translate business and regulatory needs into robust solutions.
Collaborate with the Embrace Technology group on shared architecture, cloud and CI/CD standards and with Venture Labs / Embrace AI Group to embed AI capabilities (AI-assisted dev, predictive insights, fraud/risk monitoring) into the platform.
Drive engineering best practices - testing, CI/CD and adoption of modern AI dev tools.
Operate as a forward-deployed engineer - embed with internal product partners to co-design solutions, then rapidly conceptualize, prototype and launch new products, compressing concept-to-production from quarters to weeks.
Lead AI-first, new-product development end-to-end - design and ship LLM- and agent-powered capabilities using services such as Google Vertex AI / Gemini, OpenAI (and Azure OpenAI) and orchestration frameworks like LangChain, with disciplined evaluation, guardrails and cost / latency management.
Build full-stack and real-time - modern, accessible UX/UI, public REST APIs and live experiences via SignalR on .NET Core / C# control plane, with event-driven services through Azure Service Bus / messaging, etc.
Own the cloud and delivery foundation - infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, CI/CD on GitHub (Actions) and containerized, repeatable deployments across Azure and/or AWS.
Engineer security and compliance in by design - identity and access management (OAuth2 / OIDC, SSO, MFA), secrets management and data protection aligned to PCI DSS, SOC 2 and FFIEC, with auditability from day one.
Build and empower the team - recruit, coach and unblock a small squad of progressive FDEs, giving them the autonomy, tooling and technical bar to ship safely and fast.
