Lead Software Engineer Application Owner & Release Manager

Build solutions that matter in a highly regulated environment where resiliency and security are as important as innovation. Youll partner across engineering cyber risk and resiliency to keep critical analytics platforms healthy and compliant while enabling teams to deliver change safely. This role offers breadth across cloud data and software engineering plus the opportunity to lead through influence and strong execution. Youll help reduce toil through automation and create space for engineers and data scientists to do their best work. Join a team that values inclusion growth and pragmatic problem-solving.

As a Lead Software Engineer Application Owner and Release Manager in the Wholesale Credit Risk Technology Analytics team you will own day-to-day governance risk posture and operational resiliency for the Wholesale Credit Risk Analytics application estate. Youll keep the system-of-record accurate guide work through firm controls and ensure releases move to production safely with minimal disruption. Youll operate at the intersection of engineering cyber resiliency and risktranslating firm-wide mandates into clear executable actions for application teams. You dont need to write every line of code but you understand the platform end-to-end and own outcomes. Youll partner closely with product owners data scientists and machine learning engineers site reliability engineering and business stakeholders to deliver stable scalable cloud-native analytics.
