About the Role

An elite US Bank is seeking a Distinguished Engineer to join our Developer Tools & Productivity team. This role is critical to enabling engineering excellence across the organization by designing, building, and optimizing tools, frameworks, and platforms that empower thousands of developers. You will be a hands‑on technical leader, driving innovation and best practices in developer experience, build systems, and cloud‑native workflows.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop high‑performance developer tools, frameworks, and automation solutions to improve productivity and code quality.
  • Lead technical strategy for developer experience initiatives, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security across the enterprise.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to identify pain points and deliver solutions that streamline development, testing, and deployment.
  • Architect cloud‑native solutions leveraging AWS services for CI/CD pipelines, build orchestration, and developer environments.
  • Champion best practices in software engineering, including code quality, performance optimization, and secure development.
  • Mentor and influence senior engineers and stakeholders through technical leadership and thought partnership.
Required Qualifications
  • 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of delivering complex systems at scale.
  • Expert‑level Java development skills, including deep knowledge of JVM internals, performance tuning, and modern frameworks.
  • Strong AWS experience, including services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS, and IAM.
  • Hands‑on experience with CI/CD systems (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CodePipeline) and build tools (e.g., Maven, Gradle).
  • Proficiency in automation and scripting (Python, Bash, or similar).
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Exceptional problem‑solving skills and ability to influence technical direction without formal authority.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with developer productivity platforms or internal developer portals.
  • Familiarity with observability tools and performance monitoring.
  • Contributions to open-source projects or thought leadership in developer tooling.

This is an onsite position working 5 days per week onsite in the firm’s Jersey City or Palo Alto office. At this time the team is unable to provide visa sponsorship.
