As a Lead Software Engineer within the Commercial & Investment Bank – Digital & Platform Services team, you will serve as a core technical contributor delivering secure, scalable technology products. You will lead the end-to-end delivery of full-stack features involving ReactJS frontends and Java or Python backends, while managing SQL persistence and Kafka event streaming. Your role involves designing REST APIs, building AWS components using S3 and Lambda, and managing containerized services via Docker and Kubernetes with Terraform for infrastructure. You will drive the adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices to improve code quality and delivery speed. Key responsibilities include spec-driven development, mentoring engineers, and implementing LLM-based solutions like RAG. This role addresses complex technical challenges within a regulated financial services environment, specifically focusing on commercial lending and robust software lifecycle standards.

What you'll do

  • Develop high-quality production code across full-stack technologies including ReactJS, Java/Python, SQL, and Kafka.
  • Drive team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices to improve code quality and delivery speed.
  • Lead end-to-end delivery of features by maintaining executable specifications as the source of truth for APIs and data contracts.
  • Design and implement scalable REST APIs and AWS-based components using S3 and Lambda.
  • Build and operate containerized services using Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
  • Manage infrastructure-as-code using Terraform to ensure repeatable environment provisioning.
  • Develop LLM-based implementations including RAG and tool calling with appropriate monitoring and security controls.
  • Mentor engineers and establish SDLC standards for code reviews, automated testing, and operational readiness.

What we're looking for

  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience.
  • Hands-on practical experience delivering system design, application development, testing, and operational stability.
  • Demonstrated experience leading the use of approved AI-assisted software development tools while ensuring security and performance standards.
  • Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity and secure handling of inputs/outputs.
  • Strong backend development experience with Java (Spring Boot) and/or Python (FastAPI/Flask).
  • Strong frontend development experience with ReactJS using modern patterns and TypeScript or JavaScript.
  • Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, SQL, and AWS services including S3 and Lambda.
  • Experience with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code and spec-driven development using tools like OpenAPI or AsyncAPI.
  • Experience with relational databases such as DB2 or PostgreSQL (preferred).
  • Financial services knowledge and experience in regulated environments requiring risk management (preferred).
