Senior Technical Lead

Job Description

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

Job Summary:

Leading a team of senior developers in designing, modernizing, and scaling the foundational framework for global suite of regulatory applications. This position requires a leader who can balance hands-on technical execution with strategic architectural vision.

Key Responsibilities

• Team Leadership: Direct, mentor, and manage a team of senior developers. Establish engineering best practices, conduct rigorous code reviews, and foster a culture of technical excellence.
• Architectural Ownership: Design and build the foundational, reusable core framework that powers our global regulatory applications, ensuring it meets diverse business and compliance requirements.
• System Modernization: Lead the architectural design and execution of migrating the legacy on-premise big data stack (Hadoop, Hive, Spark, Camel) to a modern, secure, and elastic cloud-native architecture on AWS and GCP.
• Pipeline Management: Deliver low-latency, event-driven pipelines for real-time regulatory reporting while optimizing robust distributed processing engines for high-volume batch reporting.
• AI Integration: Pioneer the adoption of Agentic AI models within the team's workflow and application architecture to accelerate software delivery, automate operational tasks, and lower the total cost of ownership.
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with Compliance, Legal, and Business teams to translate evolving regulatory requirements into robust and compliant technical solutions.
• B2B Integration: Architect and maintain high-performance, secure B2B interfaces for seamless data exchange with external regulators, clearinghouses, and institutional clients.
