AI Transformation: Drive the adoption of an AI-first architecture, integrating automation and machine learning to enhance trading intelligence, operational efficiency, and user personalization.
Engineering Excellence: Establish world-class engineering standards, implement robust DevOps practices, and champion a security-first culture across the organization.
Talent & Culture: Build, mentor, and lead a global, multi-regional engineering team, fostering a culture of innovation, ownership, and technical excellence.

Required Qualifications

Experience: 12+ years of software engineering experience, with a minimum of 5 years in senior leadership (VP, SVP, or CTO) within a high-growth tech or fintech environment.
