Senior Vice President, Full-Stack Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Vice President, Full-Stack Engineering Lead in New York City to own the technical direction, delivery, and operational health of the Wove Trading & Rebalancing platform.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will write code, review architecture, lead incident response, and mentor engineers, while also driving the strategic roadmap with Product and Business stakeholders. You will be responsible for a platform that must be correct (it moves money), resilient (market hours are non-negotiable), and scalable (the client base is growing rapidly across multiple wealth management firms).

Architecture & System Design

• Own the technical roadmap for the Trading & Rebalancing platform — from rebalancing compute engines and order generation pipelines to advisor-facing trading dashboards.
• Design and evolve a multi-persona, multi-custodian entitlements architecture that supports advisors, home office users, portfolio managers, and asset managers — each with distinct data hierarchies, trading discretions, and custody constraints.
• Drive the "One BFF" initiative: consolidating functional and data entitlements resolution into a unified NestJS GraphQL middleware layer using strategy patterns, guard chains, and per-persona data scoping.
• Make architecture decisions across the full stack — Angular micro frontends, NestJS services, Spring Boot microservices, Kafka consumers/producers, Hazelcast distributed caching, and the Data Lake API persistence layer.

Full-Stack Engineering

• Build and maintain high-performance backend services in Java 21 / Spring Boot 3.x — order generation engines, rebalancing workflows, allocation services, validation engines, custodian rules engines, and trade automation pipelines.
• Develop and extend Angular microfront ends using Module Federation — trading worksheets, order review screens, overview dashboards, trading rules configuration, tax harvesting, sleeve allocation, and custom rebalance UIs.
• Design and operate a NestJS GraphQL BFF that resolves entitlements from EMS and Admin Center, orchestrates downstream service calls, and delivers persona-aware data to the frontend.
• Implement secure service-to-service communication using mTLS certificates, OAuth2/JWT, and Kerberos authentication — all integrated with BNY's API Gateway and marketplace token exchange.

Trading & Rebalancing Domain

• Deliver capabilities for portfolio rebalancing workflows, model management, proposed order generation, order review, and order submission — supporting equities, fixed income, and multi-asset sleeve strategies.
• Build systems that handle multi-custodian complexity:
  Pershing, Schwab, and bank custody — including cross-hierarchy custodian bindings where different firms route through different custodians.
• Implement per-client trading discretion configuration (e.g., one firm can trade true UMA while another is restricted to SMA/URPM only).
• Ensure platform compliance with regulatory, audit, and risk requirements in a financial services environment.

AI-Enabled Engineering

• Champion AI-assisted development across the SDLC — design, coding, testing, code review, documentation, and production support.
• Drive engineering productivity through AI-powered tools for automated test generation, release impact analysis, and incident root cause identification.
• Lead adoption of agentic AI workflows that integrate with the team's existing CI/CD, Sonar Qube quality gates, and Git Lab pipelines.

Operational Excellence

• Own production readiness across the service catalog — availability, resiliency, observability (Splunk, Dynatrace), and platform health.
• Lead major incident resolution and root cause analysis. Market-hours downtime is not acceptable.
• Reduce operational burden through automation, intelligent monitoring, and self-healing patterns.
• Drive continuous improvement in deployment frequency, change failure rate, and mean time to recovery.

People Leadership

• Lead and mentor engineers across frontend, backend, BFF, and platform disciplines.
• Foster a culture of ownership, engineering excellence, and continuous learning.
• Support hiring, talent development, and organizational growth.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of software…
