Own execution and prioritization across taking over existing systems/tools and delivering new capabilities as requirements evolve. Maintain a high engineering bar through coding standards, testing practices, code reviews, AI adoption, and maintainable design.
Responsibilities
Provide technical and people leadership for a new team responsible for SOX compliance tooling, including hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance development. Define architecture and drive design reviews for scalable, reliable, and secure distributed systems that support SOX control execution and evidence generation. Ensure operational excellence: on-call readiness, operational health metrics, incident response, and continuous improvements to reliability and resiliency. Build security monitoring, auditing, and reporting capabilities that enable transparency, accountability, and continuous compliance at global scale. Implement robust control mechanisms aligned to access/change/operations controls while meeting regulatory, security, privacy, and SOX requirements. Partner with cross-functional stakeholders across engineering, compliance, and audit to define requirements and deliver auditor-ready artifacts. Contribute to long-term technical strategy and roadmap, ensuring compliance is embedded by design. Use data-driven insights to improve governance workflows and reduce toil for engineering teams executing controls.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, and 9+ years of hands-on software engineering experience. 3+ years of technical leadership experience (e.g., engineering manager, team lead, or equivalent), including mentoring and driving execution across multiple workstreams. Proven ability to design, build, debug, and operate distributed systems with a strong focus on reliability, security, and privacy. Hands-on coding experience in one or more of: C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and/or React. Experience with data platforms and services such as Synapse, Azure Data Explorer (ADX), Cosmos DB, and/or SQL. Experience building compliance-driven solutions that support evidence collection, auditing, and reporting workflows. Track record of establishing operational processes (e.g., operational readiness, monitoring, and incident response) for business-critical services. Experience partnering with compliance and audit stakeholders to translate control requirements into engineering deliverables. Experience using data-driven insights and/or AI/ML approaches to improve governance workflows.
