A leading global investment firm is seeking an experienced Vice President of Backend Engineering to join its growing Technology & Engineering organisation. This is a senior-level position with both technical and leadership responsibilities, playing a key role in designing scalable backend systems and managing a high-performing engineering team.
The successful candidate will contribute to the development of mission-critical platforms that support portfolio management, investment strategy, and business operations. You’ll work within a cloud-native environment, leveraging technologies such as Python, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD practices.
This role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership, including responsibility for mentoring engineers, driving architectural decisions, and collaborating closely with cross-functional stakeholders.
RESPONSIBILITIES
* Lead the design, development, and deployment of scalable backend services using Python and modern cloud-native patterns.
* Architect systems using microservices, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance.
* Write, review, and maintain clean, efficient code and promote engineering best practices.
* Manage, mentor, and grow a team of backend engineers, providing technical guidance and fostering a culture of excellence.
* Participate in and lead agile ceremonies, including planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.
* Collaborate with engineering, product, and business teams to align technical efforts with strategic priorities.
* Drive initiatives related to system observability, availability, and maintainability.
* Take ownership of the full software lifecycle—from design through to production support.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
* 10+ years of software engineering experience, including significant time spent in backend development roles.
* Demonstrated leadership experience, including managing direct reports, mentoring junior developers, and influencing cross-functional teams.
* Strong expertise in Python or a similar object-oriented programming language.
* Hands-on experience building and maintaining microservices and deploying to containerised environments (e.g., Kubernetes).
* Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps principles.
* Familiarity with frontend technologies such as React is a plus but not essential.
* Strong understanding of databases, data pipelines, and service-oriented architecture.
* Experience working in or a strong interest in the financial services, fintech, or investment management sector.
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and align technical solutions with business needs.
* A strategic mindset with a hands-on approach to problem-solving and technical delivery.
