  • Plan, refine, prioritize, and assign engineering work with developers, business analysts, users, and line-of-business partners.
  • Define solution architecture, technical decisions, acceptance criteria, validation controls, monitoring, operational procedures, and production-support practices.
  • Strengthen code review, continuous integration and continuous delivery, automated testing, security, documentation, and release-management controls.
  • Mentor engineers and establish practical standards that support shared ownership, early collaboration, continuous improvement, and dependable production outcomes.

Your team

Treasury IT is modernizing its technology platforms to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable capabilities that support Treasury and Financial Markets initiatives. You will work closely with technical leadership, developers, business analysts, users, and line-of-business partners in an agile, proactive, and collaborative environment.
