We're seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Vice President, Principal Full Stack Engineer to join our Performance Product Engineering team. This role is located in Boston, MA. In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways: Note on scope: Our platform operating model separates organizational leadership from technical leadership by design. Managers focus on people, delivery execution, and team effectiveness. This role provides leadership for the technical system, shaping architecture, defining standards, and setting direction across multiple teams and platforms. The two leadership functions work in close partnership, each bringing a distinct and complementary form of accountability. If you are the person that a large engineering organization consistently relies on to make critical architectural decisions, and you're looking for a role where that influence is formally recognized, this opportunity is for you. This is the senior technical leadership role for Performance Product Engineering, an organization of ~100 engineers building the performance measurement and attribution calculation platform underneath our wealth management and asset servicing products. You will operate as the solution architect for the organization: setting technical direction across teams, owning the cross-cutting design decisions that no single team can make alone, and partnering directly with the Director of Engineering as the org's principal technical voice. You will write code on the hardest parts of the system. As your scope expands, the focus shifts from individual execution to organizational outcomes. Your success will be measured by the results the entire organization achieves through your influence, direction, and technical leadership. Own the architecture end to end. Define and evolve the target-state design for the calculation platform: data model, computation engine, orchestration, APIs, and the interfaces our client-facing applications depend on. Make the build/buy/refactor calls and defend them in writing. Work across every team in the org. Lead cross-team design reviews, establish the patterns teams build against, and personally take on the integration problems that fall between teams and would otherwise go unowned. Be the technical partner to leadership. Sit with the Director of Engineering and product leadership before roadmap commitments are made, not after. Translate business intent into a technical strategy, and translate technical constraints into terms leadership can act on. Prototype and prove out new technology. We are actively investing in AI and ML, both in the product surface and in how we build. You will lead evaluation and adoption: what's real, what's hype, what we pilot, and what we take to production. Raise the engineering bar. Mentor senior engineers and tech leads. Set standards for design documentation, testing, performance, and correctness in a domain where a wrong number is a client-reportable event. To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following: 10+ years building and operating production software, with real depth on at least one side of the stack and genuine credibility on the other. Demonstrated architectural ownership of a system used by multiple teams. You have defined the design
