Software Engineer Lead

About Mobility Global

S&P Global has recently announced the intent to separate our Mobility Segment into a standalone public company.

The Software Engineer Lead will own and drive major corporate platform initiatives—modernizing and enhancing core enterprise systems, migrating platforms and workloads, and consolidating tools/technology stacks to improve reliability, security, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Working with the Heads of Corporate Platform teams and the functional business owners, you will lead technical delivery end-to-end: architecture, execution, quality, and operational readiness.

• Technical Leadership & Delivery – Lead the technical strategy and execution for platform enhancement, migration, and consolidation programs (e.g., application rationalization, shared services adoption, legacy retirement). Own end-to-end delivery: requirements discovery, solution design, implementation, testing, cutover, and post-migration stabilization. Set engineering direction through reference architectures, patterns, standards, and guardrails (performance, resiliency, observability, security). Drive technical decision-making with a bias for measurable outcomes (availability, latency, cost, deployment frequency, incident reduction).
• Architecture, Modernization, and Consolidation – Design solutions to reduce duplication across corporate systems, including consolidation of services, data stores, CI/CD pipelines, and operational tooling. Guide modernization efforts such as service decomposition, API standardization, event-driven patterns, and cloud/platform adoption where appropriate. Lead integration strategies across identity, access, data, and enterprise applications.
• Migration & Cutover Excellence – Define migration approaches (rehost, replatform, refactor) and execute with minimal downtime and risk. Create and run cutover plans, including rollback strategies, runbooks, verification checklists, and stakeholder communications. Manage data migration planning: mapping, transformation, validation, reconciliation, and retention/compliance considerations.
• Engineering Management (Technical Lead Scope) – Lead a team of engineers (directly or matrixed): provide technical guidance, unblock delivery, and uphold high engineering standards. Own code quality practices: design reviews, code reviews, test strategy, and technical documentation. Mentor engineers; build a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational ownership.
• Reliability, Security, and Operations – Ensure production readiness. Partner with security and compliance to implement secure-by-design practices (threat modeling, least privilege, auditability, secrets handling). Drive post-launch improvements using operational insights: incident learnings, performance bottlenecks, and customer feedback.
• Stakeholder & Program Collaboration – Partner with Corporate platform teams, product, enterprise architecture, infrastructure, IT, and business stakeholders to align roadmap, scope, and sequencing. Translate business goals into technical plans; proactively manage risks, dependencies, and delivery trade-offs. Communicate progress through concise status updates, technical demos, and executive-ready summaries.

• Core Engineering – Strong proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (Java, C#, Python, Go, Type Script). Deep experience building distributed systems: APIs, services, asynchronous processing, caching, and data persistence. Experience configuring and customizing SAAS applications. Strong SDLC discipline: version control, branching strategies, testing pyramids, and release management.
• Platform, Migration, and Consolidation Expertise – Proven success leading large-scale migrations (apps and/or data), including phased rollouts and zero/low-downtime strategies. Hands-on experience with legacy modernization and platform consolidation (decommissioning, dependency mapping, migration waves).
• Leadership & Communication – Strong technical writing: architecture docs, ADRs, runbooks, operational readiness checklists. Ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across multiple…
