Senior Vice President, Full-Stack Engineer

About the role

The role of Senior Vice President, Full Stack Engineer is located in New York, NY. This role is responsible for setting architecture strategy and reference patterns for resilient, high throughput platforms bridging post trade/ledgering with institutional digital assets, leading multiple Agile pods, defining Java 17+ Spring Boot microservices on Kubernetes, owning the API platform, championing event-driven architectures, architecting secure digital asset custody at scale, integrating off-chain services with Ethereum/Web3 and permissioned ledgers, driving secure delivery for Web/UI and Mobile, and enforcing holistic security and operability.

Responsibilities

• Set architecture strategy and reference patterns for resilient, high throughput platforms bridging post trade/ledgering with institutional digital assets, owning reliability, performance, and regulatory compliance end to end.
• Lead multiple Agile pods and their managers (20+ engineers), instituting bar-raising standards, hands-on design/code reviews, secure-by-default practices, and measurable SDLC outcomes.
• Define Java 17+ Spring Boot microservices on Kubernetes with reactive designs, circuit breakers/bulkheads/backpressure, multi-region active-active HA/DR, and BCP alignment.
• Own the API platform: low latency REST/GraphQL/gRPC with strict versioning, OAuth2/OIDC, mTLS, signed request verification, RBAC/least privilege, rate limits/abuse controls, and consistent contracts.
• Champion event-driven architectures (Kafka, CQRS/event sourcing) with idempotency, replay safety, deterministic processing, and strong data consistency across transactional and streaming paths.
• Architect secure digital asset custody at scale: MPC/HSM key lifecycle (generation/rotation/recovery), wallet orchestration and policy controls, tamper-evident audit logs, segregation of duties, and break glass governance.
• Integrate off-chain services with Ethereum/Web3 and permissioned ledgers; operationalize AML/KYC/Travel Rule exchanges, sanctions screening, and auditable compliance workflows.
• Drive secure delivery for Web/UI and Mobile: Angular/TypeScript and native apps with device attestation, secure storage/keystores, jailbreak/root detection, protected approval flows, CSP, and WebCrypto where appropriate.
• Enforce holistic security and operability: secure SDLC (threat modeling, SAST/DAST/IAST, dependency scanning/SBOM, container/image signing), secrets hygiene and KMS, WAF/DDoS protections, runtime hardening, vulnerability management/patch SLAs, pen tests, incident response, and tabletop exercises.
