* Collaborative, systematic problem solver with the ability to set architecture and direct the tech stack
* Strong stakeholder leadership and clear communication skills and experience, delivering complex solutions across multiple teams
* Background as a Software Engineer in front office, regulatory, or financial services is valuable
