About the Role

The Company is in search of a VP of Software Development to spearhead a large-scale, global engineering organization. The successful candidate will be tasked with leading and scaling a team of over 300 engineers across multiple regions, with a primary focus on driving product innovation, platform evolution, and AI integration. This executive-facing role demands a leader with a strong technical background, particularly in the areas of real-time, high-throughput systems, and consumer-facing platforms. Experience in fintech, payments, or regulated financial systems is highly valued, as is a proven track record in platform modernization, cloud adoption, and system migration. The ideal candidate will have at least 10 years' experience in software engineering, with a significant portion spent in senior leadership roles, and a background in AI/ML or LLM-driven product or engineering initiatives. Responsibilities for the VP of Software Development at the company include owning the delivery of customer-facing applications and backend systems, overseeing the integration of new products into a unified platform ecosystem, and championing the adoption of AI and LLM-driven capabilities. The role requires a leader with a strong executive presence, capable of influencing senior stakeholders and driving change, and who is motivated by the opportunity to shape the future of a global platform. The candidate should be technically credible, operate with urgency and a focus on measurable outcomes, and be comfortable navigating ambiguity and leading through large-scale transformation.
