It is day 1 for us. We are laser focused on automating compliance processes today. This is not just focused on driving efficiencies by automating manual processes, but reimagining what processes and systems must look like in a fully AI driven automated world, and then bring that vision to reality, working across cross functional teams to offer a delightful customer experience, improve compliance posture and deliver outsized shareholder value.

  • Partner with and influence Operations and Compliance organizations to maximize impact.
  • Build and manage engineering teams in the Compliance domain, to guide the development of features, services, and infrastructure.

  • Create and enforce processes to improve engineering quality, AI adoption and high impact delivery of each team member
  • Be a thoughtful technical voice within the team, aiding in diligent architectural decisions and fostering a culture of high-quality code and engineering processes. Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure successful delivery and operation of multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • At least 10 years of experience in software engineering.
  • At least 5 years of engineering management experience, and 2 years of experience managing Managers.

  • Execution focused with an ability to navigate ambiguity.
  • Ability to do both long term thinking and short term planning.
  • Experience creating, delivering, and operating multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
