This includes integrated web and desktop experience platforms, design systems, shared component libraries and core UI frameworks that power applications across Asset Management.\nAs a senior engineering leader, you will balance people management responsibilities-including hiring, mentoring, performance management, and talent development-with strong engineering craftsmanship. You are expected to remain deeply engaged in technical decision-making, design, code quality standards, and engineering best practices, setting a high bar for how software is designed, built, tested, and operated.\nYou will partner closely with engineering, architecture, UX, and product leaders to shape technical direction, influence platform strategy, and ensure teams are aligned on engineering standards, modern delivery approaches, and disciplined execution. You will actively guide teams through complex technical trade-offs, design reviews, and platform evolution, while coaching engineers grow both technically and as leaders.\nWe are looking for a leader who is committed to continuously advancing both their own technical depth and the capabilities of their teams-bringing modern engineering thinking, innovation, and a culture of continuous improvement to the organization. This role is ideal for an engineering-first leader who thrives on developing people, strengthening engineering discipline, and delivering foundational platforms that enable business outcomes at scale.\nIf you are a passionate and experienced engineering leader with a strong track record of hands-on technical leadership, people development, and delivery of high-quality platform solutions, we encourage you to apply and help advance our capabilities.\nEnsuring engineering talent, skills, and team composition are aligned with the strategy, long-term technical direction, and organizational priorities, enabling delivery of scalable, secure, and reliable platform capabilities.\nSupporting, mentoring, and empowering engineers to deliver their best work while growing deep expertise across UI platforms, Java, Spring Boot, API engineering, distributed systems, and cloud technologies.\nDriving an agile, learningoriented engineering organization that adopts continuous improvement, collaboration, adaptability, and iterative delivery.\nChampioning a culture of engineering excellence, with high standards for reliability, performance, resilience, security, accessibility, and craftsmanship.\nContributing to and reinforcing engineering best practices, coding standards, design patterns, and platform guidelines, ensuring consistency, maintainability, and quality.\nBringing strong curiosity and an engineering mindset-consistently asking “why,” challenging assumptions, and ensuring delivered solutions provide clear technical and business value.\nActing as a senior engineering leader who actively innovates, experiments, and evaluates emerging technologies, including cloud-native patterns, platform modernization, and improved approaches to building APIs and services at scale.\nLeading the adoption of modern engineering approaches, including cloud-native architectures, DevOps practices, event-driven systems, and emerging technologies such as AI/ML where appropriate.\nBuilding trusted, collaborative relationships with architecture, product leaders, UX partners, and peer engineering teams to ensure alignment on platform strategy and execution.\nServing as an inspiring engineering leader by sharing knowledge, participating in technical forums, promoting thought leadership, and advocating for modern engineering practices across the broader organization.\nThe Expertise You Bring\nProven experience leading enterprise integrated experience platforms, owning strategy and execution for web and desktop UI foundations.\nDemonstrated ownership of design systems and shared UI component libraries, including governance, adoption, and long-term evolution across multiple product teams.\nDeep background in modern UI and desktop experience architecture, including scaling component-driven micro-frontend platforms and enabling consistent, high-quality user experiences across applications.\nStrong experience with desktop interoperability platforms and standards, including FDC3, and related interop products, enabling application composition, context sharing, and cross-application workflows.\nExperience integrating AI-enabled capabilities into interoperability platforms, such as contextual intelligence, workflow automation, smart routing of intents, and AI-assisted cross-application experiences.\nStrong understanding of desktop containers, inter-application communication patterns, and orchestration models, including how AI services can enhance real-time decisioning and user productivity.\nTrack record of leading engineering talent, while setting clear technical direction and accountability.\nSolid full-stack foundation enabling effective leadership across platforms and supporting backend services, ensuring seamless end-to-end integration.\nRecognized ability to influence enterprise engineering standards and platform strategy, particularly across experience platforms, interoperability, and shared UI services.\nSustained commitment to engineering excellence, talent development, and continuous improvement in large, complex environments.\nBachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related technical field, demonstrating a solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, systems design, and core engineering principles preferred\nThe Skills You Require\nAbility to coach, mentor, and provide technical guidance to engineers working across platforms, interoperability layers, and AI-enabled capabilities.\nStrong hands-on understanding of Angular, TypeScript, and component-driven UI development, including modern build, testing, and performance optimization practices.\nAbility to design and evolve UI frameworks and shared frontend capabilities that support both browser-based and desktop-hosted experiences.\nPractical experience with FDC3 and desktop interoperability platforms (OpenFin / Interop), including context sharing, intents, app discovery, and cross-application integration.\nKnowledge of desktop containers, windowing models, and interop standards, enabling seamless multi-application user experiences.\nAbility to design AI-enhanced interoperability workflows, such as intelligent context propagation, AI-driven intent resolution, recommendation services, and workflow automation across applications.\nExperience integrating UI and interop platforms with backend and AI services through well-designed APIs, with working knowledge of Java, Spring Boot, REST, OpenAPI, and OAuth2/JWT.\nFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines supporting frontend assets, shared UI libraries, desktop-integrated applications, and AI-enabled services.\nUnderstanding of cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes-based deployment models supporting experience platforms, interop services, and AI workloads.\nStrong operational mindset, including observability, reliability, incident response, and performance tuning, with particular focus on end-user experience and workflow continuity.\nCuriosity and adaptability, with an ongoing focus on modern experience platforms, desktop interoperability, cloud technologies, and AI-enabled development practices (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code).\nThe Team\nArchitecture and Technology Foundation (ATF) team is a central team within Asset Management that provides ready-to-use solutions composed of standard technology stacks, development frameworks, reusable software components and services.
