About the role

Software Engineer Lead overseeing enhancement, migration, and consolidation of corporate platforms at S&P Global. Leading technical delivery while collaborating with diverse teams for operational readiness.

Responsibilities

Lead the technical strategy and execution for platform enhancement, migration, and consolidation programs (e.g., application rationalization, shared services adoption, legacy retirement).
Own end-to-end delivery: requirements discovery, solution design, implementation, testing, cutover, and post-migration stabilization.
Set engineering direction through reference architectures, patterns, standards, and guardrails (performance, resiliency, observability, security).
Drive technical decision-making with a bias for measurable outcomes (availability, latency, cost, deployment frequency, incident reduction).
Design solutions to reduce duplication across corporate systems, including consolidation of services, data stores, CI/CD pipelines, and operational tooling.
Guide modernization efforts such as service decomposition, API standardization, event-driven patterns, and cloud/platform adoption where appropriate.
Define migration approaches (rehost, replatform, refactor) and execute with minimal downtime and risk.
Create and run cutover plans, including rollback strategies, runbooks, verification checklists, and stakeholder communications.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in a lead role (tech lead, staff/lead engineer, or engineering manager with hands-on delivery).
Demonstrated delivery of enterprise-grade platform initiatives involving migration and/or consolidation with measurable outcomes.
Strong proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Java, C#, Python, Go, TypeScript).
Deep experience building distributed systems: APIs, services, asynchronous processing, caching, and data persistence.
Experience configuring and customizing SAAS applications.
Strong SDLC discipline: version control, branching strategies, testing pyramids, and release management.
Proven success leading large-scale migrations (apps and/or data), including phased rollouts and zero/low-downtime strategies.
Hands-on experience with legacy modernization and platform consolidation (decommissioning, dependency mapping, migration waves).
