We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Vice President, Fullstack Engineer to join our Custody Enterprise Platform team. This role is located in Pittsburgh, PA

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways:

• Consult with Product to provide high-level application software development services and technical support.
• Program well-designed, testable, efficient code and integrate software components into fully functional software systems.
• Analyze, design, and develop tests and create automated test cases and documentation to satisfy requirements and solutions.
• Maintain software functionality and currency, actively participate in code reviews, and apply security and privacy principles.
• Core Java, Spring, and Spring Boot: REST controllers, dependency injection, configuration management, data access (JPA/JDBC), concurrency basics, and exception handling.
• Implement well-architected Java/Spring Boot microservices and APIs: build features, fix defects, and deliver production-ready code with strong automated testing.
• Apply AI-assisted coding and AI coding practices to speed up development (prompting, code suggestions, test generation), while ensuring code quality, security, and maintainability.
• Integrate AI features in applications (e.g., inference endpoints, prompt orchestration, RAG flows, embeddings) with guardrails, input/output validation, and auditability.
• Contribute to data access design and performance (RDBMS basics): write efficient queries, tune connection pools, and implement transactional integrity and error handling.
• Collaborate closely with tech leads and product partners to refine requirements, acceptance criteria, and sprint goals; maintain clean documentation (API contracts, ADRs, readmes).
• Support CI/CD pipeline tasks (builds, tests, artifacts, environment configs) and contribute to automated quality gates and release safety.

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience required
• 5 - 9 years of hands-on experience building software with Java/Spring/Spring Boot
• Demonstrated use of AI-assisted coding tools and integration of AI features with responsible-use practices.
• Working knowledge of RDBMS (Oracle or equivalent) and secure, performant data access in services.
• Experience contributing to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and observability.
• Prompt engineering for code/tests with verification steps; avoid blind acceptance of generated code.
• Implement guardrails for AI-enabled features (policy checks, content filters, PII safety) and robust telemetry of prompts/responses.
• Design deterministic wrappers around model calls (timeouts, retries, backoff, caching) and capture traceability for audit/compliance.
• Collaborate on evaluation harnesses for AI features (quality metrics, latency budgets, failure modes).
• MUST HAVE - thorough knowledge and experience of both frontend and backend development in Angular, Java, NodeJS, CSS, JSON and JavaScript
• Proficiency in application frameworks and containerization, with broad experience in multi-platform development tools and toolkits
• Prior lead experience selecting and implementing vendor-specific methodologies and prior consulting experience with structured methodologies
• Experience in the securities or financial services industry is a big plus
