Senior Engineering Manager

Job description

Senior Engineering Manager, IT Solutions — Noida SMBS · Development & Scaling · Reports to the AVP, Development & Scaling WHAT MAKES US, US Join some of the most innovative thinkers in FinTech as we lead the evolution of financial technology. If you are an innovative, curious, collaborative person who embraces challenges and wants to grow, learn and pursue outcomes with our prestigious financial clients, say Hello to SimCorp! At its foundation, SimCorp is guided by our values — caring, customer success-driven, collaborative, curious, and courageous. Our people-centered organization focuses on skills development, relationship building, and client success. We take pride in cultivating an environment where all team members can grow, feel heard, valued, and empowered. If you like what we’re saying, keep reading! WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US SimCorp's Managed Business Services (SMBS) runs investment operations for some of the largest financial institutions in the world. Within SMBS, Development & Scaling is establishing a new IT Team in Noida to build the operational tooling, applications, integrations and data solutions that let our services scale — a cornerstone of our 2026 scalability agenda. This is a founding role. You will be the first hire: you set the technical direction, define the roles, hire and grow a team of ~5–6 full-stack developers, and own what the team ships. You are both the people manager and the team's Tech SME / Solution Architect — this is deliberately not a purely managerial role. You stay hands-on: designing solutions, reviewing code, and contributing to build on complex or foundational work, increasingly using an AI-assisted SDLC. The team builds traditional software — operational tooling, applications, front ends and integrations (for example with SimCorp's product platform) — with a strong data-platform component built on Snowflake. You will work closely with the SMBS AI team, the Change & Upgrade engineering team (which provides shared QA), and SimCorp Platform & Infrastructure. WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR • Founding and leading the new IT Team: defining roles, hiring, onboarding and growing ~5–6 full-stack developers, with responsibility for staffing and team development. • Acting as the team's Solution Architect — owning the technical solution framework, standards and design principles; ensuring solutions are secure, maintainable, scalable and reusable. • Translating business needs into technical designs for tooling, applications, front ends and integrations, working closely with SMBS service and delivery leaders. • Owning the data-platform build on Snowflake — fast, reliable data in/out and integration patterns. • Staying hands-on: solution design, code reviews, and production code on complex or foundational paths. • Leading the day-to-day delivery cadence and release management of the team (no separate scrum/release role), with responsibility for both short-term deliverables and long-term improvements. • Coordinating QA through the SMBS Change & Upgrade QA capability rather than a dedicated in-team function. • Collaborating with other engineering leaders — the SMBS AI team and SimCorp Platform — on integration patterns, quality, security and delivery, keeping clear boundaries: application builds sit with this team, AI/agent solutions with the AI team. • Establishing coding standards, testing practices and deployment patterns; providing input to the strategic direction of the IT capability in SMBS. WHAT WE VALUE • You are an engineer at heart, with strong professional software development experience. • You have 5–8 years' experience leading software engineers, and demonstrated experience building or scaling a team. • You take pride in delivering sound, production-grade software solutions. • You have a deep understanding of core engineering practices — testing methodologies, coding, CI/CD, AI-assisted development, security and architecture — and can comprehend and guide your team's daily work. • You have a bias for delivery: you get solutions from concept to production quickly without compromising quality. • You build a collaborative and open culture, and work effectively across a large, international organisation at various levels. Technical Skills • Extensive experience with the .NET ecosystem (C#, .NET 6+, ASP.NET Core, Web APIs) building scalable, enterprise-grade applications. • Full-stack proficiency: solid understanding of web application architecture (RESTful services, microservices / modular monolith, event-driven systems) plus working knowledge of modern UI frameworks (Angular, React or similar) — the team hires full-stack developers rather than dedicated front-end specialists. • Data-platform experience, ideally Snowflake — data modelling, SQL, and building data integration and pipelines; Python for automation and integration. • Experience building and operating solutions on Microsoft Azure; cloud-native design principles, CI/CD pipelines, observability, resilience and scalability. • Strong software-engineering practices — API design, secure coding, performance optimisation, distributed system design. • Familiarity with data storage technologies (SQL Server, NoSQL, caching strategies). Good to Have • Exposure to financial systems / capital-markets platforms or high-volume transactional systems. • Experience with AI-assisted development tooling in the SDLC (e.g. Copilot, Claude).
