TL;DR · Software Engineering Manager & AI Lead, M&A & Partner Integration

VPII, Software Engineering Manager & AI Lead - M&A & Partner Integration leads a specialized team to manage the Tenant Engine, an AI-powered static-analysis and remediation framework. This role is responsible for the day-to-day operations, roadmap, and delivery performance of the engine, which supports a high-visibility, portfolio-scale multi-tenant migration. The manager oversees regeneration cycles involving scanning, noise filtering, LLM validation, and remediated-code generation while managing a team of AI engineers and analysts. Key responsibilities include governing noise-filter rules, approving prompt updates, and coordinating cross-track handoffs with engineering leads. The role requires expertise in production LLM/GenAI systems, including experience with AWS Bedrock, S3, Step Functions, and infrastructure-as-code. The position addresses the technical challenge of improving code remediation quality, scan throughput, and operating costs across a large repository portfolio within a regulated financial services environment.

What you'll do

  • Own the Tenant Engine roadmap and operating rhythm for remediation automation and portfolio-scale scanning.
  • Direct regeneration cycles including scan, noise filtering, LLM validation, and remediated-code generation.
  • Govern and approve noise-filter rules and prompt iterations to balance false-positive reduction with coverage.
  • Manage a team of AI engineers and analysts by setting goals and removing operational blockers.
  • Oversee large-scale scan operations across 900+ repositories while ensuring SLA performance and cost efficiency.
  • Coordinate cross-track handoffs between the engine and database, application, and quality engineering teams.
  • Report key metrics regarding quality, throughput, and unit costs to senior leadership and governance forums.
  • Establish runbooks and processes to ensure the system can scale without constant executive intervention.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is required, with a Master's degree preferred.
  • Experience in software, AI, ML, platform, or data-intensive engineering.
  • Experience in AI/ML or platform technical leadership.
  • Experience directly leading engineering teams.
  • Experience owning production LLM/GenAI systems including prompt pipelines and evaluation on platforms like AWS Bedrock.
  • Experience managing technical roadmaps for large-scale or regulated programs with strict deadlines.
  • Experience leading large-scale code analysis, automated remediation, and developer tooling projects.
  • Familiarity with AWS-native infrastructure such as Bedrock, EKS, Neptune, S3, and Step Functions is preferred.
