Job Summary
We are seeking a
technical heavyweight to join as AVP/VP of Software Development. This is a
"Player-Coach" role—you will not just manage spreadsheets and timelines; you will architect solutions, review code, and actively contribute to the codebase while leading a team of high-performing specialists. You are expected to bridge the gap between strategic leadership and tactical execution, driving the delivery of complex financial software solutions through
hands-on engineering and expert mentorship.
Key Responsibilities
- Hands-On Delivery & Engineering

- Code Reviews: Act as the final gatekeeper for complex pull requests, ensuring clean, efficient, and secure code.
- Debugging & Firefighting: Lead the triage of critical production incidents, utilizing deep system knowledge to diagnose root causes that junior engineers cannot resolve.
- Proof of Concepts (PoC): Personally build and validate PoCs for new technologies (AI/ML integration, Cloud migration) before handing them off to the team for scaling.
- Architecture & Technical Strategy
- System Design: Architect scalable, high-availability solutions for investment management workflows, making authoritative decisions on microservices vs. monolith, data consistency models, and cloud-native patterns.
- Tech Roadmap: Define the long-term technical vision, ensuring the platform evolves from Cloud (AWS) server architecture to serverless .
- Innovation: evaluate and implement cutting-edge tools (e.g., AI-driven analytics, Serverless compute) to maintain competitive advantage.
- Team Leadership & Mentorship
- Technical Mentorship: Go beyond "people management" by specifically coaching developers on how to write better code, optimize queries, and structure applications.
- Culture of Excellence: Foster a "builder's culture" where engineering rigour is paramount.
- Resource Management: Optimize team allocation, identifying skill gaps and personally conducting technical training sessions where necessary.
- Delivery Management & Stakeholder Alignment
- Project Execution: Own the full SDLC. Translate high-level business goals from executive leadership into executable technical specs.
- Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with Product Managers and Operations Heads to manage expectations, balancing feature requests with technical debt reduction.
- Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify architectural risks and single points of failure, implementing code-level safeguards.
Required Skills
- Experience: 10-20 years in software development, with at least 5+ years in a hybrid Lead/Architect role
- Strong technical background with expertise in application development using technologies like python, react/nodejs, analytics, cloud technologies .
