Job Description:
As Vice President of Software Engineering for our Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) portfolio, you will lead a global organization of engineers across multiple product lines that finance teams rely on to plan, close, consolidate and report. You will own how that portfolio is built, shipped and run.
2027 is a transformation year. We are modernizing established applications, building new SaaS and multi-tenant capabilities, moving to an agentic software development lifecycle, and putting AI directly into the hands of our customers. We need a leader who can deliver all four at once without compromising the quality and reliability our customers depend on for their most critical financial processes, and who measures success with the same discipline our customers apply to their numbers.
We enjoy our work as much as we enjoy working together, and we want leaders who get things done while having a positive influence on our workplace environment.
What you will deliver in 2027
Modernize legacy applications
Define and execute a modernization strategy for the EPM portfolio, choosing deliberately between re-platform, re-architect, strangler-pattern migration, and retirement for each product and component
Sequence modernization to deliver customer value incrementally, avoiding big-bang rewrites and protecting customers already in production
Reduce technical debt measurably, with a visible debt register, investment targets and progress reported to executive leadership
Plan and execute customer migrations from on-premise and single-tenant deployments with clear data-integrity, cutover and rollback plans
Build SaaS and multi-tenant capabilities
Lead the design and delivery of cloud-native, multi-tenant services, including tenant isolation, data partitioning, configuration and extensibility models
Build the shared platform capabilities that product teams rely on: identity, observability, metering, tenant provisioning, and self-service environments
Own SaaS operational excellence: SLOs and error budgets, on-call and incident management, capacity planning, cost efficiency, and disaster recovery
Embed security, privacy and compliance (for example SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR) into architecture and delivery pipelines rather than treating them as downstream gates
Deliver with an agentic SDLC
Lead the shift from AI-assisted coding to an agentic software development lifecycle, where AI agents participate in planning, coding, testing, code review, documentation and operations
Establish the guardrails that make this safe: human review policy, test and evaluation gates, provenance and traceability of AI-generated changes, and secure handling of code and data
Redesign team workflows, roles and skills for agentic delivery, and coach engineering managers and engineers through the change
Measure the impact rigorously, proving gains in flow, quality and reliability rather than tracking adoption alone
Build customer-facing AI features
Partner with Product to deliver AI capabilities that finance users trust, such as natural-language analysis, forecasting assistance, anomaly detection and agentic workflows across planning, close and reporting
Build the engineering foundations for production AI: model and prompt management, retrieval over governed financial data, evaluation frameworks, and monitoring for accuracy, drift and cost
Apply responsible-AI practices appropriate to financial data, including explainability, auditability, tenant data isolation, and clear human-in-the-loop controls
Ship AI features on the same delivery standards as the rest of the portfolio: tested, observable, reversible and measured against defined quality bars
Raise the bar on quality and DORA outcomes
Own engineering outcomes against the DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, failed deployment recovery time, and rework rate), with transparent baselines and quarterly improvement targets for every product line
Build quality in: test automation across the pyramid, continuous integration on every change, trunk-based development, feature flags, and progressive delivery Make reliability a product feature through service-level objectives, error budgets that inform prioritization, and blameless post-incident reviews that lead to lasting fixes Shift security left with automated scanning, dependency and vulnerability management, and secure-by-default pipelines
Report development status, quality, operations and system performance to executive management using a consistent engineering scorecard, and act quickly and decisively to resolve customer-impacting issues
Leadership responsibilities Lead multiple software development teams and product lines, including staffing, mentoring, and building high-performing teams across multiple disciplines and geographies
