As a technical Director, you will remain deeply hands‑on—shaping products and capabilities, guiding implementation, and ensuring delivery of high‑quality, scalable end‑to‑end solutions. You will collaborate closely with architecture, UX, product, and engineering partners to modernize experience platforms and advance intelligent, data‑driven user experiences, including AI‑augmented desktop workflows.
Drive the technical direction and evolution of platforms and capabilities used across Asset Management.
Establish and reinforce engineering standards, patterns, and guidelines for frontend and experience platforms.
Partner with architecture, UX, and product leaders to ensure platforms align with business outcomes and user needs.
Enable data‑driven and insightful decision making through effective use of analytics and AI.
Deliver scalable, maintainable solutions that improve developer productivity and platform adoption.
Ensure experience platforms meet high standards for quality, resilience, security, and usability.
Lead complex technical initiatives and resolve architectural trade‑offs with clarity and sound judgment.
Serve as a senior technical leader who advances modern engineering practices and a culture of continuous improvement.
The Expertise You Bring
Experience designing and delivering enterprise‑scale platforms supporting multiple products and teams.
Deep expertise shaping modern frontend platform architectures, with an emphasis on Angular‑based ecosystems.
Ownership of design systems and shared UI component libraries, including long‑term evolution, governance, and adoption at scale.
Proven ability to deliver consistent, high‑quality user experiences across web and container‑based desktop environments.
Experience defining and evolving desktop interoperability platforms (Openfin, Inerop), including FDC3‑aligned standards and cross‑application workflows.
Track record crafting data-intensive applications, enabling high-performance grids, data-driven analysis, and interactive visualization at scale.
Leadership incorporating AI‑augmented capabilities into user experiences, enhancing workflows through contextual intelligence and assisted decision‑making.
Experience defining AI‑augmented experience patterns that are explainable, performant, and appropriate for regulated enterprise environments.
Strong understanding of end‑to‑end platform architecture, spanning UI frameworks, integration layers, and backend services.
Demonstrated ability to influence engineering standards, architectural direction, and best practices across organizations through expertise and collaboration.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
The Skills You Require
Strong hands‑on experience with Angular, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS.
Experience building and maintaining shared frontend frameworks and reusable UI component libraries used across multiple teams.
Practical use of state management and reactive programming patterns, including NgRx and RxJS, within large‑scale Angular applications.
Strong hands‑on experience designing and implementing desktop interoperability, including context sharing, intent‑based actions, and cross‑application workflows.
Experience working with interoperability standards and platforms such as FDC3 within container‑based desktop environments; FCFP Certification is a plus.
Experience with enterprise UI tooling such as AG Grid for complex, high‑performance data grids and rich data visualization using libraries such as Plotly.js, Highcharts, or similar.
Hands‑on experience implementing usage analytics and behavior analytics, including event instrumentation, user journey tracking, funnel analysis, and adoption metrics across interoperable workflows.
Hands‑on experience embedding AI capabilities into UI and desktop platforms, particularly within interoperable user workflows.
Working knowledge of LLM tools and frameworks, including orchestration or agent frameworks, prompt engineering, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, and tool or function calling patterns.
Hands‑on experience building and integrating backend services using Java and Spring Boot.
Understanding of cloud‑native platforms, containerized deployments, CI/CD and operational considerations.
Continuous engagement with modern engineering practices, evolving interoperability standards, emerging UX paradigms, and AI‑assisted development tooling.
The Team
Architecture and Technology Foundation (ATF) team is a central team within Asset Management that provides ready-to-use solutions composed of standard technology stacks, development frameworks, reusable software components and services. As part of ATF, you will work closely with engineering and product teams to ensure these capabilities meet evolving business and user needs while remaining secure, scalable, and resilient.
