This is a hands-on role for a Senior engineer who leads by building. You'll lead engineering on a multi-year programme to modernize and migrate a large portfolio of middle-office applications to AWS. You'll write production code across the full stack but will be primarily responsible for Backend (Java back ends, DevOps, CI/CD pipelines).

You'll also set up and run the programme's AI-augmented delivery model, using AI agents and assistants to speed up discovery, code conversion, testing and deployment while meeting the control standards a global custodian needs.
