WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT TO US

The DMS Change team is part of the SimCorp Managed Business Services Team. The team works directly with Data Management Service Business Operations using Data Management Platform, which is a single instance, software as a service (SaaS) based product. It provides Reference Data Management and Valuation solutions for many of the world's leading and most innovative financial institutions, including regional and global banks and asset management firms.

The Lead Software Engineer in the DMS Change Team owns the technical direction for the customer layer of the product, drives design and architecture decisions, and leads a group of developers responsible for building, testing, and ensuring compatibility with the broader enterprise and solutions architecture through modern development technologies.

The Lead Software Engineer will also define and drive new capabilities that support Data Management Service Business Operations, set technical standards across the team, and engage with multiple development teams sitting in different service stacks to align delivery and design.

WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Own the technical design and architecture for assigned areas of the platform, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise architecture standards.
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of DMS Change developers — providing technical guidance, conducting design/code reviews, and setting engineering best practices.
Grasp the concepts of the system via design documents and drive the team to speed on ongoing SaaS efforts; act as the technical escalation point for the team.
Support and guide Data Advisory, DMS Operations and QA team members in understanding platform capabilities and constraints, acting as the primary technical point of contact across multiple stacks.
Communicate priorities, negotiate trade-offs, and align work items assigned to the team with business and program objectives.
Drive advanced debugging and root-cause analysis to resolve complex issues in SIT, UAT and PROD environments, and coach others in doing the same.
Champion the creation of tools and automation that reduce effort and time spent on repeated activities, and showcase these to a wider audience across teams.
Bring enterprise-level software leadership experience to the table, driving optimizations, streamlining, and modernization of processes and systems.
Own the team's testing strategy in partnership with QA — ensuring strong test coverage, promoting TDD/BDD practices, and supporting testers on technical queries.
Lead RCA and retrospective meetings with a strong sense of ownership, drive continuous improvement actions to closure, and foster a culture open to feedback.
Contribute to hiring, onboarding, and performance feedback for team members.

WHAT WE VALUE

The expectations of a lead software test engineer's behavioural skills are centred around an agile mindset of leading and working in teams. Business knowledge requirements vary across business units but are overall within the financial sector.
