Senior Software Engineer

$150K-$175K base + bonus

Midtown NYC

The software engineering and technology function is split between 4 domains: Investment, Portfolio Operations and Data; Distribution and Product; Corporate and Digital.

In addition there are teams which operate as shared services to provide Technology Infrastructure, Production Services (production support, release and access control), Quality Assurance, Information Security and Business Management (change management, assurance and reporting).

The Global Technology vision is to ensure a stable operating environment that can leverage Agile to effectively deliver enhanced business benefits that focus on value delivered to our external and internal customers.

With a culture of excellence through collaboration, innovation and continuous improvement, Global Technology will enable us to deliver the best outcomes for clients and shareholders.

Overview of role

Senior Software Engineers are core members of the Capability aligned Agile delivery team, responsible for contributing to all aspects of the analysis, design, development, building and testing of solutions within a sprint cadence.

Each team member is aligned to a single Capability aligned Agile team and, while the Analyst Developer core contribution will be leading software development and engineering tasks, they also significantly contribute to analysis and testing activities.

They are also responsible for managing their own work, estimating its complexity and size, determining technical design (within architectural guidelines) and contributing to the continuous improvement of their Agile team.

The team members rely heavily on collaboration and communication and must place great emphasis on Agile Values and Principles in order to achieve a sustainable high performing status.
