Ensure data quality, integrity, and consistency are preserved during upgrades and migrations.

Guide architectural decisions to balance scalability, performance, and operational stability.

Risk, Compliance & Governance

Identify and mitigate technical, operational, and data risks associated with change and upgrades.

Ensure compliance with data governance, audit, and regulatory expectations, including segregation of environments.

Maintain strong documentation, traceability, and audit readiness for all changes.

People Leadership & Talent Development

Lead and develop engineering, QA, and release/change professionals.

Drive performance management, career growth, mentoring, and succession planning.

Foster a culture of accountability, quality, continuous improvement, and psychological safety.

Stakeholder & Customer Alignment

Partner with product, operations, compliance, and customer-facing teams to align priorities.

Communicate change scope, risks, timelines, and outcomes clearly to stakeholders.

Support escalations with data-driven analysis, corrective actions, and preventive improvements.

Process Excellence & Continuous Improvement

Continuously improve change, release, and validation processes to reduce defects and recovery time.

Promote standardization, automation, and repeatability in upgrade execution.

Track delivery and operational metrics to improve predictability and quality.

Required Experience & Capabilities

Proven experience managing engineering teams in complex, data-centric environments.

Strong understanding of data platforms, releases, and change governance.

Demonstrated ability to balance technical depth, people leadership, and stakeholder management.

Experience applying automation and AI-assisted practices in engineering or operations is a strong advantage.

WHAT WE VALUE

14–15 years of overall software engineering experience with significant time in .NET/C# ecosystems.

5+ years leading engineers (direct people leadership), owning delivery and engineering standards.

Proven ability to work effectively in large, distributed, international organizations and across levels.

Technical Experience

.NET / C# Core Expertise

Strong C# fundamentals and deep experience with Microsoft .NET Framework, including emphasis on:

WPF, WCF, WWF

Strong understanding of async programming, concurrency, and performance considerations

Modern Services & Cloud-native

Strong experience with Web API, .NET Core, and modern architecture patterns:

Microservices

Docker / container-based applications

Azure DevOps Pipelines

Hands-on experience designing and operating Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, including quality gates and release orchestration.

Code Reviews & Engineering Standards

Demonstrated ability to drive high-quality, efficient code reviews, enforce standards, and mentor engineers.

AI Elements (Required Mindset + Practical Application)

To align with SimCorp’s emphasis on engineering excellence and scalable delivery, we expect the Engineering Manager to lead responsible adoption of AI-assisted practices in day-to-day engineering

AI-assisted Engineering Productivity (Developer Experience)

Establish team practices for AI-assisted coding (e.g., suggestions, refactoring support, unit-test generation assistance) with clear review accountability and secure usage patterns.

Build “definition of done” expectations for AI-assisted output (tests, security checks, performance impact review, documentation).

AI for Quality, Risk & Reliability:

Use AI-assisted approaches to improve:

test prioritization and regression optimization

anomaly detection in logs/telemetry

root-cause analysis acceleration during incidents

knowledge search across engineering artifacts (runbooks, RCA history, design notes)

Domain Experience (Strong Plus):

Experience in Capital Markets is a plus, preferably with Buy-Side firms (asset managers, pension funds, investment managers), and understanding of data workflows typical in investment operations and analytics.
