Someone who can take ownership of two high-visibility teams building the operational backbone of SimCorp One, and who is ready to help define how we see, detect, and resolve issues across the company before clients feel them.\nWHAT MAKES US, US\nJoin some of the most innovative thinkers in FinTech as we lead the evolution of financial technology. If you are an innovative, curious, collaborative person who embraces challenges and wants to grow, learn and pursue outcomes with our prestigious financial clients, say Hello to SimCorp!\nAt its foundation, SimCorp is guided by our values - Caring, Customer success-driven, Collaborative, Curious, and Courageous. Our people-centered organization focuses on skills development, relationship building, and client success. We take pride in cultivating an environment where all team members can grow, feel heard, valued, and empowered.\nIf you like what we’re saying, keep reading!\nWHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US\nThe AI & Insights area is building the foundation for reliable, intelligent operations of SimCorp's offerings. When something breaks in our systems, we need to know immediately, and our teams need to quickly be able to understand the root cause. Ideally, we see the signals in advance, initiate self-healing, and avoid interruptions for our clients. Observability and Monitoring are how we enable that.\nThe Observability team owns the data foundation: a standard, Open Telemetry-based way for every SimCorp system to emit logs, traces, and metrics, collected on a central Operational Data Platform that SREs, monitoring, and AI agents can all use. The Monitoring team owns what we do with that data: one governed monitoring standard with a single alert funnel, a standard alert payload, and one Grafana instance for dashboards and alert rules. Together, the two teams are the data and signal layer for AIOps: AI-assisted root-cause analysis, proactive resolution, and self-healing workflows.\nYou will partner closely with the Product Managers for Observability and Monitoring and with the architect to turn the roadmap into delivery, and you will report directly to the Senior Director of Engineering. You will also be part of the AI & Insights leadership team, contributing to the broader deliveries and growth of the area.\nWHAT WILL YOU BE RESPONSIBLE FOR\nTeam leadership and development\nLead and grow the Observability and Monitoring teams, distributed across multiple locations, creating clear priorities and a supportive, engaged culture \nDevelop individual engineers through regular 1:1s, coaching, and honest feedbac \nBuild one coherent engineering group across two domains, with the right composition, skills, and no single-person dependencies \nHire and onboard new engineers into fast-moving workstreams as scope grows \nDelivery and operations\nOwn delivery of the Observability and Monitoring roadmaps \nHold a high bar on quality, security, and operational readiness \nManage day-to-day prioritisation, capacity, and engineering health across both teams, keeping delivery and engagement strong \nRemove blockers before they slow the team down, including the ones involving other teams \nStakeholder and cross-team collaboration\nPartner with the Product Managers to translate product strategy into an executable delivery plan \nWork with the architect on technology direction, from the OpenTelemetry data plane to the alerting and visualisation stack \nCollaborate with SREs, Operations, SaaS reliability, and the product development teams who instrument their code and consume the data, and translate technical work into clear updates for non-technical stakeholders \nAlign with the Senior Director of Engineering on priorities and risks \nStrategy and growth\nHelp shape SimCorp's observability, monitoring, and AIOps strategy as scope expands from collecting data to automated root-cause analysis and self-healing \nAnticipate where the teams need to grow in skills, headcount, and tooling, and advocate for it \nBring an informed point of view on measuring what matters, such as monitoring maturity, SLOs, and incident detection and resolution times, rather than coverage alone \nMake AI agents part of how the teams work and how SimCorp operates, with people orchestrating, reviewing, and holding the bar. \nWHAT WE VALUE\nOwnership and independence You take responsibility without being told to, dig in when things are unclear, and are comfortable deciding with incomplete information and following through.\nManagement experience You have led engineering teams before, ideally in a platform context, with a genuine track record of accountability for team outcomes and engagement.\nTechnical grounding in observability and monitoring engineering You have a background in software or platform engineering and engage comfortably with telemetry (logs, traces, and metrics), instrumentation standards such as Open Telemetry, alerting, SLOs, and incident response. You are curious about how AI can speed up root-cause analysis and operations. You will not write production code, but you understand what your engineers build, ask the right questions, and spot when something is off.\nCommunication clarity You write and speak in plain, precise English, can explain a complex platform decision to a non-technical stakeholder, and represent your team with confidence in senior forums.\nBENEFITS\n· Flexible working hours and hybrid model - 2 days in the office, 3 days remote\n· Modern office (next to Wilanowska metro station) with quiet zones and ergonomic workstations\n· Base salary with annual bonus structure\n· Holiday allowance upon a 2-week vacation\n· Occasional remote work across Poland and international options available (up to 24 days domestic, 20 days international per year - subject to internal policy)\n· Employer-paid Medicover Platinum healthcare package (employee-paid family upgrade available)\n· MyBenefit Cafeteria with a monthly budget provided by SimCorp, which can be used to finance a Multisport card (with a 25% employee contribution) or choose other lifestyle options\n· Unum group life insurance (employee-paid upgrade available)\n· Medicover travel insurance for private trips and global business travel insurance\n· Possibility to join Deutsche Börse Group Share Plan (eligible after 1 year)\n· Copyrights program for certain roles\n· Possibility to develop your career in an international environment\n· Professional training and courses provided by SimCorp\n· Polish language classes for foreign employees; German and English classes based on business needs\n· Integration events, volunteering initiatives and employee-led clubs\nCompensation ranges are being disclosed at the initial stage of candidate engagement.\nVisit our career pages to learn more about working at SimCorp: www.simcorp.com/career\nNEXT STEPS\nPlease send us your application in English via our career site as soon as possible, we process incoming applications continually.
