The Role

As theGlobal Headof Technology Excellence and Resiliency you willberesponsible forensuring theintegrity security and uninterrupted sub-second operationof all S&P 500 and global index calculation and dissemination systems. This role is foundational to the firms credibility and performance demanding an executive-level technologist who can meld thearchitectural rigor of a Principal Engineerwithoperational scale and risk focus.You will lead the newly unified Technology Excellence and Resiliency function which encompassesCyber and Security Engineering Quality Engineering (QE) and System Reliability Engineering (SRE). Your core mandate is toeliminatesingle points of failure institutionalize security-by-design and elevate the performance and reliability of our mission-critical low-latency index infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Engineering Leadership & Organizational Excellence

• Vision & Strategy:Define the strategic roadmap and organizational structure for technology excellence cyber security quality assurance and system resiliency ensuring alignment with the CTOs vision and the firms businessobjectives.

• Organizational Fusion:Lead the successful consolidation and harmonization of Cyber QE and SRE teams creating a single cohesive function. Establishunified operational metrics(e.g. DORA metrics SLIs/SLOs) to measure and drive continuous improvement across all domains.

• Talent and Culture:Recruit mentor and develop a world-class team of engineers and architects fostering a culture oftechnical rigor blameless post-mortems and proactive risk mitigation. Serve as the top-tier technical escalation point driving deep architectural reviews.

System Reliability Engineering (SRE) & Core Resiliency

• Zero-Downtime Mandate:Beultimately accountablefor theoperational stability and near-zero latency performanceof all index calculation engines and dissemination platforms directly mirroring the standards of market technology.

• Proactive Architecture:Drive the adoption of advanced SRE practices including rigorous Error Budget management disaster recovery architecture and end-to-end observability (monitoring logging tracing) to ensure resilience against all modes of failure.

• Incident Management & Prevention:Own the major incident response process. Lead post-incident reviews to ensuresystemic preventative engineering improvementsare prioritized and implemented globally drastically reducing Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR).

Cyber & Security Engineering

• Security-by-Design:Institutionalize a security-first mindset across all engineering teams. Oversee the development and implementation of security controls threat modeling and automated compliance into the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) aligning with the high-bar security posture of institutions likeGoldman Sachs.

• Threat & Vulnerability Management:Direct the security engineering function in architecting and implementing advanced protective detection and response measures to secure critical financial data intellectual property and proprietary index methodologies.

• Compliance & Audit:Ensure all technology systems adhere to stringent internal regulatory and financial industry governance standards related to cyber risk and operational continuity.

Quality Engineering (QE) & Engineering Standards

• Continuous Quality Assurance (CQA):Championashift-left quality transformation moving beyond traditional QA to implement automated continuous and performance testing across the entire CI/CD pipeline reducing defects in production.

• Engineering Standards:Define and enforce high-bar engineering standards architectural patterns and developer tooling (e.g. Infrastructure-as-Code immutable infrastructure) to maximize productivity maintainability and code quality.

• Responsible AI Leverage:Oversee theresponsible and governed use of AI and Machine Learning (ML)for practical functions such as anomaly detection in system metrics predictive maintenance and enhancing system diagnostics and log correlation.

Required Skills and Experience:

• Technical Depth:15 years in hands-on high-volume low-latency software or systems engineering with 7 years in senior executive leadership or Principal/Distinguished Engineer roles.

• Financial/Exchange Tech (Mandatory):Deep experience in a firm where technology is the core product specifically with real-time data low-latency systems and critical market infrastructure.

• Architectural Expertise:Expert-level command of distributed systems cloud architecture (AWS/GCP) data pipelines and securing high-volume APIs. Ability to design and enforcehighly availablearchitectures to meet RPO/RTO targets.

• Integrated Functions:Proven ability to successfully lead and integrate SRE Cyber and QE functions. Strong understanding of risk frameworks and engineering metrics (SLOs MTTD MTTR).

• Leadership:Exceptional executive presence communication and influencing skills. Demonstrated success in managing large global engineering teams and translating complex technical risks into clear business impacts for the CTO and CEO.

• Risk & Compliance:Strong familiarity with financial regulatory expectations concerning Operational Resilience Business Continuity (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) having navigated regulatory reviews or internal/external audits at a major financial institution.
