About This Role:
The Commercial Corporate & Investment Bank Technology (CCIBT) Infrastructure Solutions organization is seeking a hands-on Lead Engineer to design and deliver practical technology solutions within highly regulated, large-scale enterprise environments. This role requires strong technical depth and the ability to translate business and functional requirements into secure, resilient, and scalable solutions aligned with enterprise standards.
This Lead Engineer will operate across both solution design and hands-on implementation, partnering with stakeholders, developers, infrastructure teams, and security partners to drive solutions from concept through execution. The ideal candidate is a strong problem solver who can work across diverse technical areas, including middleware, infrastructure, networking, DevSecOps, and enterprise platform integration.
Key Responsibilities:

• Solution Definition & Technical Translation
• Partner with business, technology, and platform stakeholders to understand functional requirements, technical constraints, risk considerations, dependencies, and success criteria
• Translate business needs into practical technical designs, implementation approaches, and engineering work packages that can be delivered in a large-scale enterprise environment
• Evaluate solution options and communicate trade-offs across performance, resiliency, scalability, security, compliance, cost, maintainability, and delivery timelines
• Help convert ambiguous problem statements into actionable technical direction for developers, engineers, and platform teams
• Hands-on Engineering & Technical Leadership
• Team with developers, engineers, architects, and infrastructure partners to design, build, test, validate, and deliver technical solutions
• Provide engineering-level triage and solution direction for complex issues spanning application, middleware, compute, network, automation, DevSecOps, and operational readiness domains
• Review designs, identify gaps, challenge assumptions, clarify dependencies, and help remove technical ambiguity that blocks delivery
• Produce and maintain engineering design artifacts, implementation notes, operational runbooks, decision records, readiness documentation, and knowledge-transfer materials
• Performance, Resiliency & Problem Investigation
• Investigate and help resolve a wide array of technical problems, including low-latency application concerns, batch-processing challenges, environment issues, platform integration gaps, and production-readiness risks
• Analyze complex technical symptoms, identify likely root causes, engage the right technical partners, and drive toward practical remediation options
• Support engineering decisions in multifaceted situations using strong technical judgment, data-driven analysis, and enterprise risk awareness
• Promote resilient, secure, observable, and maintainable designs that support production operations and long-term platform health

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of Technology Infrastructure Engineering and Solutions experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience with middleware platforms, APIs, Linux/Windows infrastructure, container platforms, network services, storage, monitoring, or enterprise automation
• Experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, configuration management, vulnerability scanning, secure SDLC, and production-release controls
• Experience with performance analysis, latency-sensitive applications, high-volume batch workloads, capacity considerations, and resiliency design.
• Experience with distributed systems, APIs, integration, and operationally resilient system design
• Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into practical technical designs and implementation plans
• Demonstrated hands-on troubleshooting experience across multiple technology domains
• Experience working in highly regulated, risk-conscious, or large financial services environments
• Experience in a collaborative Agile working environment; Scrum experience preferred
• Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar technologies to improve developer productivity, code quality, and solution delivery
• Detail-oriented, self-directed, and able to manage multiple priorities while consistently meeting delivery commitments
• Strong analytical skills, learning agility, curiosity, and willingness to investigate unfamiliar technical areas
• Strong communication skills with the ability to build credibility across developers, engineers, architects, product owners, operations, vendors, and leadership stakeholders
• 4-year degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or related field
