About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will lead software engineering strategy and execution for the Issuer Solutions portfolio by designing scalable patterns, advancing engineering standards, and enabling durable modernization across mainframe and distributed platforms.
You will work with engineering teams, enterprise platform partners, and senior technical leaders to improve quality, reliability, and delivery outcomes.
Your work helps teams adopt practical innovation, including artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted engineering, in ways that support business goals and client needs.
Set and evolve engineering standards across the portfolio, including code quality, architecture patterns, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices, and application security controls.
Conduct architecture reviews, code reviews, and technical design consultations for teams building with Java, Spring, .NET, Angular, Python, and related technologies.
Define reusable engineering patterns, reference implementations, and technical decision frameworks that teams can adopt across multiple products and delivery environments.
Translate enterprise platform direction from cloud engineering, security, and AI enablement teams into actionable guidance for software delivery teams.
Champion adoption of AI-assisted engineering workflows by evaluating tools, leading pilots, and coaching teams on measurable use cases that improve quality and throughput.
Remain hands-on by prototyping solutions, building internal tools, and contributing to critical-path engineering work when needed to reduce delivery risk or accelerate execution.
Drive measurable improvements in code quality, defect escape rate, lead time, resiliency, and production stability through tooling, process improvement, and technical coaching.
Mentor senior engineers and build communities of practice that strengthen architectural consistency, production ownership, and cross-team engineering alignment.
