SHAPE ECONOMIES.\nAt SGX Group, we create markets. We turn ideas into products and expand access to new opportunities. We are building the future of the exchange in-house: from architecture and platforms to the critical systems that power markets. The biggest decisions are still open to people who join us now.\nThe opportunity\nAs Vice President, Software Engineer, you will lead engineering across multiple teams and domains. You will set direction, strengthen engineering discipline and take accountability for how services are designed, delivered, operated and improved.\nThe challenge is to increase agility without compromising resilience, security or operational reliability. In a mission-critical environment, engineering decisions have real consequences, and you will need to make sound trade-offs across architecture, delivery, risk and business priorities.\nThere are strong foundations to build on, and a significant amount still to do. The engineering model, tooling and ways of working will keep changing. If you want to inherit a mature engineering organisation, this is not that one yet. It will suit someone who enjoys complexity, is comfortable leading through change and wants to build capability that lasts.\nThe Software Engineering team\nSoftware Engineering builds, runs and evolves the applications and platforms behind SGX Group's business and market infrastructure.\nThe team works closely with product, architecture, platform, security and delivery colleagues to turn business priorities into secure, resilient and scalable services. Its remit spans the full engineering lifecycle, from technical design and delivery through to production ownership and continuous improvement.\nOur next phase is about strengthening engineering ownership, modernising platforms and practices and building consistency across teams without flattening the different needs of each business domain.\nWhat you will do\nOwn the outcome\nLead engineering with accountability for delivery quality, security, resilience and production performance.\nTranslate business and technology strategy into clear engineering plans, partnering with product, project and programme leaders to align priorities, resources, delivery milestones and investment decisions.\nPartner with product, architecture, platform, and delivery leaders to shape solutions and manage trade-offs, rather than simply executing against requirements.\nSet the engineering standard\nSet technical direction and strengthen architecture, engineering standards and solution governance across your remit.\nEvolve platforms through lifecycle planning and steady work on technical debt, using modern design practices where they earn their place.\nImprove SDLC, DevOps, site reliability engineering, automation, testing, observability and service ownership so that delivery is dependable and sustainable.\nBuild the function\nBuild engineering teams through hiring, coaching, succession planning and honest performance conversations.\nRaise accountability and technical judgement across the teams you lead.\nLead through major incidents and engage senior stakeholders on strategic priorities, trade-offs, delivery progress, risk and investment decisions.\n\nWhat we are looking for\nEssentials\nExperience leading software engineering across multiple teams, platforms or business domains in a complex, high-availability, security-sensitive or regulated enterprise environment.\nStrong engineering judgement, with the ability to balance architectural quality, resilience, security, delivery and business priorities.\nExperience setting technical direction, leading architecture reviews and evolving platforms while managing technical debt and operational risk.\nA solid grounding in software and platform engineering, including microservices, event-driven systems, API design, resilience patterns and observability.\nExperience with DevOps, site reliability engineering, automation, testing discipline, end-to-end service ownership and incident leadership.\nStrong people and stakeholder leadership, from team development and hiring through to working with senior business and technology leaders.\nYou should be comfortable with Kubernetes, AWS EKS, PagerDuty, CI/CD, modern observability tools and infrastructure as code.\nWhat may set you apart\nYou have led change somewhere platforms had to stay dependable while the technology and ways of working kept moving.\nYou combine technical depth with curiosity about the business, its products and what drives its revenue.\nYou have built teams, platforms or engineering practices that kept creating value after you moved on.\nA degree in computer science, engineering, information and communications technology or a related field is useful. Equivalent practical experience is valued just as highly.\nWhy this role matters\nYou will work on technology that underpins critical market infrastructure, where engineering decisions have direct consequences for the business, its customers and the markets it serves. Not many engineering roles carry that weight.\nThe mandate is real. You will shape how platforms are engineered, owned and evolved, and what software engineering becomes at SGX Group. The work is demanding and the organisation is still changing, which is exactly where the opportunity sits. There are not many chances in a career to build something that outlasts you.\n About SGX Group\nSGX Group is one of the world's most trusted international marketplaces, known for its stability and openness.
