Job Description
The Opportunity
FIS is transforming how we build and operate Capital Markets technology, moving from vertically aligned products toward a platform-oriented engineering model built on shared capabilities, modern architecture, common standards, and strong engineering accountability. This is an opportunity to shape the next generation of technology supporting some of the world’s most complex financial markets and institutions.
The Head of Product Engineering for Capital Markets leads technology across a portfolio of businesses spanning trading, treasury, risk, lending, asset management, and post-trade. Partnering closely with Product, this leader translates market strategy and client needs into differentiated, resilient, and scalable products. The role owns how these products are architected, built, secured, modernized, and operated, while evolving the portfolio toward reusable platforms and shared capabilities that improve speed, quality, and economics.
A central part of the mandate is AI transformation. The leader will drive how AI changes the way we engineer products, from software development and testing through modernization and operations, while partnering with Product to embed AI capabilities into our products and client experiences where they create meaningful value.
The role combines stewardship of highly critical financial technology with the opportunity to shape its future. That means protecting the reliability, performance, security, and control our clients depend on while simplifying the technology estate, modernizing platforms, reducing duplication, and making thoughtful enterprise-first decisions about where we invest, standardize, reuse, and retire technology.
As a core member of the Technology leadership team, this leader will help shape FIS’s broader technology direction and engineering culture. We are looking for someone who can lead at scale, build exceptional engineering teams, bring together deep domain and technology expertise, challenge established approaches, and translate technology strategy into measurable outcomes for our clients and business.
