Define the strategic roadmap and organizational structure for technology excellence, cyber security, quality assurance, and system resiliency, ensuring alignment with the CTO's vision and the firm's business objectives
Lead the successful consolidation and harmonization of Cyber, QE, and SRE teams, creating a single, cohesive function. Establish unified operational metrics (e.g., DORA metrics, SLIs/SLOs) to measure and drive continuous improvement across all domains
Recruit, mentor, and develop a world-class team of engineers and architects, fostering a culture of technical rigor, blameless post-mortems, and proactive risk mitigation. Serve as the top-tier technical escalation point, driving deep architectural reviews
Be ultimately accountable for the operational stability and near-zero latency performance of all index calculation engines and dissemination platforms, directly mirroring the standards of market technology
Drive the adoption of advanced SRE practices, including rigorous Error Budget management, disaster recovery architecture, and end-to-end observability (monitoring, logging, tracing) to ensure resilience against all modes of failure
Own the major incident response process. Lead post-incident reviews to ensure systemic, preventative engineering improvements are prioritized and implemented globally, drastically reducing Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)

Champion a "shift-left" quality transformation, moving beyond traditional QA to implement automated, continuous, and performance testing across the entire CI/CD pipeline, reducing defects in production
Define and enforce high-bar engineering standards, architectural patterns, and developer tooling (e.g., Infrastructure-as-Code, immutable infrastructure) to maximize productivity, maintainability, and code quality
Oversee the responsible and governed use of AI and Machine Learning (ML) for practical functions such as anomaly detection in system metrics, predictive maintenance, and enhancing system diagnostics and log correlation

Proven ability to successfully lead and integrate SRE, Cyber, and QE functions. Strong understanding of risk frameworks and engineering metrics (SLOs, MTTD, MTTR)
Exceptional executive presence, communication, and influencing skills. Demonstrated success in managing large, global engineering teams and translating complex technical risks into clear business impacts for the CTO and CEO
