Lead Software Engineer - Wealth R&D, VP

Overview

As an Application Delivery Technical Analyst, you will design, prototype, and scale modern web and mobile applications that power next-generation wealth management experiences. You will work with engineers and use cases across the full stack—frontend, backend, APIs, and data—partnering closely with product, design, and platform teams to turn concepts into secure, production-ready applications. This role blends hands-on engineering with solution design, enables rapid prototyping and solution evaluation, and ensures the proposed technical designs maintain enterprise-grade quality, performance, and scalability.

This role is ideally suited for someone with a firm understanding of software development and a keen interest and curiosity in defining the future of mobile financial applications.

The Wealth Research & Development (R&D) team is a strategic innovation hub focused on building next-generation wealth management solutions. We operate at the intersection of application engineering, AI-enabled capabilities, and human-centered design, rapidly designing, prototyping and validating solutions that can scale across the organization.
