Role Description

The Sr Software Developer designs, develops, and enhances complex technology solutions across software, data, infrastructure, and operational domains, driving high-impact initiatives through technical planning, automation, and system optimization while ensuring quality, security, and compliance standards. The role partners closely with architects, product owners, and business/finance stakeholders to deliver scalable, maintainable solutions.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and enhance technology solutions across software, data, infrastructure, and operations, delivering complex work independently as a technical lead accountable for quality and outcomes.

• Investigate and resolve complex, high-impact application, infrastructure, and data issues through root cause analysis, including technical discovery/spike work on ambiguous problems (e.g., API authentication, multi-environment architecture, DAST strategy).
• Own security and compliance hygiene for assigned applications: certificate/credential lifecycle management, encrypted database connections, and completion of Cybersecurity Risk Assessments (CSRAs).
• Evaluate and recommend improvements to testing, deployment, and CI/CD pipeline design to optimize release quality and reliability.
• Partner with the team to leverage approved AI tools for productivity and automation, adhering to governance and security requirements.
• Partner with architects, product owners, and cross-functional teams (Finance, Treasury, Accounting, Compliance, DNA) to plan, estimate, and deliver initiatives; proactively communicate progress, risks, and issues.
• Provide technical mentorship to engineers and conduct technical reviews of designs, code, and configurations to promote quality and consistency.
• Identify and mitigate technical, operational, and security risks; drive reliability and operational maturity improvements through analysis of system behavior and metrics.
• Participate in on-call support rotations to provide 24x7 coverage as needed; perform additional duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience in software development, data engineering, infrastructure, or related discipline.
• Experience in Azure/AWS or GCP.
• Demonstrated expertise in modern programming languages, cloud platforms, automation tools, or data technologies; proficiency with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP) required.
• Experience designing and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, source control workflows, and deployment practices preferred.
• Applied knowledge of information security principles, secure development practices, and risk management required.
• Proven ability to resolve high-impact technical issues, drive root cause analysis, and implement systemic solutions.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence decisions across technical and non-technical audiences preferred.

Requirements

• ETL/SSIS development and deployment, including encrypted database connections preferred.
• Azure DevOps pipeline engineering, release branching, and change control; Bicep/Infrastructure-as-Code experience preferred.
• Python tooling support and certificate/credential lifecycle management across environments preferred.
• Experience supporting CSRAs and compliance documentation for finance-adjacent applications preferred.
• Networking/environment coordination (DNS, secure subnet configuration) and cross-team technical support preferred.
• Familiarity with core banking/finance platforms such as DNA, FDM, Bancware, PeopleSoft, Concur, OneStream, or Tax Documents API is a plus.
