Senior Application Development Lead-Senior Vice President

As the App Dev Senior Tech Lead Analyst, you will be responsible for the technical vision, architecture, and execution of this greenfield platform. You will lead a world-class engineering team from the ground up, while remaining deeply technical and contributing to the core development of the platform. This is a unique opportunity to blend strategic leadership with hands-on engineering to build a product that will have a direct and measurable impact on the front lines of our business. **Key Responsibilities** - **Platform Architecture & Development:** Lead the design, architecture, and hands-on development of a scalable, secure, and resilient agentic AI platform from concept to production. - **Technical Leadership & Hands-On Engineering:** Serve as the lead engineer and technical authority, guiding critical decisions on frameworks, technologies, and infrastructure. You will be expected to write code, build prototypes, and lead by example. - **Strategic Roadmapping:** Partner closely with product management and senior business leaders in banking to define the product strategy and technical roadmap. Translate complex business needs into elegant technical solutions. - **Cross-Functional Collaboration:** Partner effectively with horizontal AI platform teams, enterprise architecture, and external vendor partners to leverage existing capabilities, influence roadmaps, and accelerate delivery. - **AI & ML Integration:** Drive the strategy for integrating and operationalizing Large Language Models (LLMs), agentic frameworks (e.g., Google ADK, LangChain,), and other AI/ML technologies to solve real-world banking challenges. - **Operational Excellence:** Implement and champion best-in-class engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, infrastructure-as-code, and robust monitoring to ensure enterprise-grade reliability. - **Business Impact:** Define, measure, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to platform adoption, user productivity, and the ultimate impact on business outcomes like wallet share growth. - **Compliance & Security:** Ensure the platform adheres to the highest standards of data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance required in the banking industry. **Qualifications & Experience** - **Education:** Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. - **Experience:** 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 4+ years in a leadership role, leading high-performing engineering teams. - **Hands-On Leader:** Proven experience as a "player-coach" who can lead from the front, contribute to the codebase, and mentor junior and senior engineers. - **Platform Building:** A strong track record of designing, building, and launching scalable, distributed, cloud-native platforms from the ground up. - **Domain Knowledge:** Experience in the financial services industry (Corporate Banking, Investment Banking, FinTech) is a significant plus. An understanding of banking workflows and data is highly desirable. - **Communication Skills:** Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and to articulate a clear technical vision that aligns with business goals. **Technical Skills** - **AI / GenAI /Agentic AI** - LLM & Agentic Frameworks: Deep expertise in building production-grade agentic systems using GCP as primary (ADK, Vertex AI) - Multi-Agent Systems: Hands-on experience designing and implementing multi-agent architectures(task decomposition, coordination, orchestration, and agent-to-agent (A2A) interaction patterns) - Model Context Protocol (MCP) & Integrations: Experience integrating agents with enterprise tools and data sources using MCP or equivalent context-sharing patterns - Knowledge Graphs & Reasoning: Building and leveraging knowledge graphs for context enrichment, reasoning, and workflow automation - RAG & Knowledge Systems: End-to-end RAG pipelines using enterprise search + vector store…
