About This Job
This role reports onsite to Axos Bank's HQ in San Diego, CA. Remote work is not available.
The SVP, Head of Engineering is the senior engineering leader for Axos's Consumer, Securities & Wealth, AUC, and Philippines-based development organizations: four engineering groups totaling 400+ engineers, spanning software development, quality assurance, and business analysis across customer-facing web and mobile applications as well as back-office applications. This is a hands-on technical leadership role as much as a strategic one. This leader sets the multi-year development strategy and application architecture direction for these organizations, and is just as comfortable stepping personally into a struggling delivery to diagnose the problem and get it back on track. They own the operating model that makes delivery predictable, partner with the Centers of Excellence to bring AI-driven delivery (AIDLC) into day-to-day work, and hold the quality bar for every customer-facing experience these teams ship.
Axos Bank is a federally chartered, digital-first bank with over $28B in assets and no physical branches. Every customer interaction across our Consumer and Securities segments happens through software these teams build and own. We move with the urgency of a fintech and the stability of a regulated institution, and we're at a pivotal moment of scale: investing heavily in AI-driven delivery and seeking the engineering leader who will set the strategy and define how these teams deliver in Axos's next chapter.
Why Join Axos:
Axos is a rare environment: the scale of a major bank, the velocity of a fintech, and direct executive authority over both the strategy and the delivery of a 400+ engineer organization. You'll join as Axos's AIDLC moves from pilot to competitive advantage, and you'll be the leader who sets the direction and makes it real across Consumer, Securities & Wealth, AUC, and Philippines-based delivery. If you're motivated by setting strategy, staying technical, and building something consequential you can measure in outcomes, this is an exceptional opportunity.
Target Range:
$240,000.00 /Yr. - $325,000.00 /Yr.
Actual starting pay will vary based on factors including, but not limited to, geographic location, experience, skills, specialty, and education.

Development Strategy & Technical Direction

Own application architecture and engineering standards across your four engineering groups, replacing legacy technical debt with modern, maintainable patterns such as API-first design and service-oriented design.
Set the technology and tooling direction for your organization, ensuring teams build on modern, well-supported platforms that scale, run reliably at low latency, and support 24x7 uptime.
Keep your organization on the cutting edge of relevant technology, evaluating and adopting new tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns ahead of the industry curve rather than after they become standard.
Make build-versus-buy and platform investment decisions for your organization, weighing speed, cost, and long-term technical health.
Partner with peer technology verticals to implement the platform and tooling…
