Sr Director of Software Engineering - Cyber and Business Resiliency

Job Description

• Leads multiple technology and process implementations across departments to achieve firmwide technology objectives
• Provides leadership and high-level direction to teams while frequently overseeing employee populations across multiple platforms, divisions, and lines of business
• Acts as the primary interface with senior leaders, stakeholders, and executives, driving consensus across competing objectives
• Design and develop scalable, production-grade software for risk modelling, inference engines, and simulation frameworks
• Collaborate with cybersecurity teams, risk analysts, data scientists and resiliency stakeholders to define model inputs, risk scenarios, and system architecture requirements
• Translate mathematical and statistical models (e.g. Bayesian networks, probabilistic graphical models) into performant software modules.
• Develop data ingestion and transformation pipelines to source data from internal systems and threat intelligence sources
• Lead the architecture design for modular, explainable, and extensible risk modelling systems
• Ensure robustness, auditability, and version control of all models and underlying code per company and regulatory standards
• Build APIs and tools that enable integration with business intelligence dashboards, threat platforms, GRC systems and reporting pipelines
• Partner with enterprise risk and enterprise control management teams to ensure the model outputs are interpretable and actionable for executive decision-makers

• Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and expert applied experience. In addition, expert experience leading technologists to manage, anticipate and solve complex technical items within your domain of expertise.
• Experience developing or leading large or cross-functional teams of technologists
• Demonstrated prior experience influencing across highly matrixed, complex organizations and delivering value at scale
• Experience leading complex projects supporting system design, testing, and operational stability
• Extensive practical cloud native experience
• Strong programming skills in Python (especially scientific libraries: PyMC, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, etc.) and experience working with probabilistic programming frameworks (e.g. PyMC, Stan, TensorFlow Probability).
• Experience designing and deploying Bayesian networks, Monte Carlo simulations, or other probabilistic models in complex real-world systems.
• Demonstrated experience developing enterprise-scale data modelling platforms or risk analysis tools
• Solid knowledge of software architecture principles, cloud-native design (e.g. AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD best practices
• Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate across cross-functional teams

• Strong academic background with an advanced degree in either Mathematics, Data Science, Engineering, Computer Science or another quantitative field.
• Background in graph theory, decision theory, or risk quantification is a plus
• Understanding of cybersecurity risks, operational resilience, or business continuity frameworks in regulated industries (preferably financial services)
• Experience in modelling cascading failures, supply chain risk, or complex interdependency networks
• Proven ability to build strong, cohesive partnerships with key stakeholders, including external vendor partners with the ability to work effectively in a matrix organization
