Senior Vice President, Full-Stack Engineer
About the role
This role is in Pittsburgh, PA. You will set the engineering bar for AI-first development, architect cloud-native systems in Azure AKS, and ensure our platforms meet stringent performance, availability, stringent security requirements. This role blends hands-on coding with technical leadership and system architecture.
Responsibilities
- Lead architecture and implementation of scalable, resilient full stack systems using Java, Spring Boot microservices, Angular, Kafka, and Azure AKS.
- Champion AI-first engineering: establish best practices for AI-assisted development, code reviews, test generation, secure-by-default patterns, and documentation.
- Define system design for high availability and high transaction throughput: multi-zone deployments, stateless services, horizontal scaling, distributed caching, and robust failover strategies.
- Embed NIST 800-53 control alignment into the SDLC: security controls mapping, automated checks, secrets and key management, and continuous compliance.
- Drive end-to-end reliability engineering: observability strategy, performance SLOs, capacity planning, chaos/resilience testing, and incident response improvements.
- Mentor engineers and influence cross-functional teams; lead technical design forums, architecture reviews, and platform modernization initiatives.
- Collaborate closely with product leaders and stakeholders to translate client needs into secure, scalable solutions; manage technical risk and deliver measurable outcomes.
- Elevate engineering excellence: enforce TDD, clean architecture, code quality, and modern CI/CD practices.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer science engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience required.
- 10-14 years of experience in software development required; experience in the securities or financial services industry is a plus.
- Expert-level mastery of Java, Spring Boot, microservices architecture, Angular, and event-driven systems (Kafka).
- Significant experience designing and operating services on Azure AKS, with deep understanding of cloud-native patterns, networking, and security.
- Track record of architecting highly available, fault-tolerant, and high-throughput systems in production.
- Strong grounding in NIST 800-53 controls and secure software delivery; experience integrating controls into pipelines and runtime guardrails.
- Leadership in reliability engineering, performance tuning, and observability at scale.
- Exceptional communication, influencing, and mentorship skills; ability to align teams around architecture and execution.
