We're seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Vice President,

Principal Full Stack Engineer to join our Performance Product Engineering team.

This role is located in Boston, MA.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

Note on scope: Our platform operating model separates organizational leadership

from technical leadership by design. Managers focus on people, delivery

execution, and team effectiveness. This role provides leadership for the

technical system, shaping architecture, defining standards, and setting

direction across multiple teams and platforms. The two leadership functions work

in close partnership, each bringing a distinct and complementary form of

accountability. If you are the person that a large engineering organization

consistently relies on to make critical architectural decisions, and you're

looking for a role where that influence is formally recognized, this opportunity

is for you.

This is the senior technical leadership role for Performance Product

Engineering, an organization of ~100 engineers building the performance

measurement and attribution calculation platform underneath our wealth

management and asset servicing products. You will operate as the solution

architect for the organization: setting technical direction across teams, owning

the cross-cutting design decisions that no single team can make alone, and

partnering directly with the Director of Engineering as the org's principal

technical voice. You will write code on the hardest parts of the system. As your

scope expands, the focus shifts from individual execution to organizational

outcomes. Your success will be measured by the results the entire organization

achieves through your influence, direction, and technical leadership.

* Own the architecture end to end. Define and evolve the target-state design

for the calculation platform: data model, computation engine, orchestration,

APIs, and the interfaces our client-facing applications depend on. Make the

build/buy/refactor calls and defend them in writing.

* Work across every team in the org. Lead cross-team design reviews, establish

the patterns teams build against, and personally take on the integration

problems that fall between teams and would otherwise go unowned.

* Be the technical partner to leadership. Sit with the Director of Engineering

and product leadership before roadmap commitments are made, not after.

Translate business intent into a technical strategy, and translate technical

constraints into terms leadership can act on.

* Prototype and prove out new technology. We are actively investing in AI and

ML, both in the product surface and in how we build. You will lead evaluation

and adoption: what's real, what's hype, what we pilot, and what we take to

production.

* Raise the engineering bar. Mentor senior engineers and tech leads. Set

standards for design documentation, testing, performance, and correctness in

a domain where a wrong number is a client-reportable event.

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:

* 10+ years building and operating production software, with real depth on at

least one side of the stack and genuine credibility on the other.

* Demonstrated architectural ownership of a system used by multiple teams. You

have defined the design others built against, and lived with the

consequences.

* Strong background in data-intensive, distributed, or high-throughput systems.

Correctness and performance both matter here at scale.

* A track record of technical influence without formal authority. You have

changed the direction of an organization through a design document, a

prototype, or a well-argued review.

* Comfort with ambiguity and legacy. Much of this work is evolving a system

that is already running and cannot stop running.

* Financial services, capital markets, or investment performance/attribution

domain experience is a strong plus, not a requirement. We can help you build

domain expertise. What matters most is the judgment and leadership you bring

to the role.

Where this role can lead: This is a growing space with an expanding scope. For

those who want to deepen their impact as individual contributors, it offers

broader architectural ownership across adjacent platforms and a path toward our

most senior technical roles. For those interested in management, there is an

opportunity to build and lead a team in the areas you've already helped shape.

Several of our current leaders followed that path. Management is an option, not

an expectation, and remaining an individual contributor is not a constraint. In

either case, the scope, impact, and influence of the role continue to expand.

Technology: Python and modern JVM languages. Polars and columnar compute.

Snowflake and cloud data platforms. Azure and Kubernetes. Workflow

orchestration. Angular/TypeScript front ends. CI/CD and infrastructure as code.

Applied AI and LLM tooling. Exploring Rust. We care more about how you reason

about systems than about which of these you have used.
