The successful candidate will shape how application development teams use GenAI to improve software delivery, modernize engineering practices, and evolve organizational operating models in a controlled, scalable, and enterprise-ready manner.This role requires deep hands-on credibility in software architecture and development, strong knowledge of the rapidly evolving GenAI coding ecosystem, and the leadership presence to drive cultural and process change across a large banking technology organization.**Key Responsibilities:**GenAI Strategy and Adoption* Lead the education, enablement, and adoption of GenAI tools and practices across software development teams within Business Enablement Technology.* Define and communicate a clear GenAI software engineering strategy and roadmap aligned to organizational priorities, risk standards, and delivery objectives.* Serve as the senior subject matter expert on the evolving landscape of GenAI for software development, including tooling, models, market direction, and emerging practices within financial services.Software Development Transformation* Evolve software development practices, standards, and team workflows to incorporate and optimize the use of GenAI in the engineering lifecycle.* Identify and recommend changes to engineering processes, development governance, and delivery models to maximize the value of AI-assisted development.* Address complex questions related to AI-enabled engineering operating models, including code review approaches, team composition, developer responsibilities, productivity models, and product team interaction patterns.* Help define what enterprise-grade software delivery should look like in a future where a significant portion of code is AI-generated.Organizational and Cultural Change Leadership* Drive cultural and organizational change required for successful adoption of GenAI development tools at scale.* Partner with technology leaders and engineering managers to build practical adoption models, capability development plans, and change management approaches.* Educate and influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders on the opportunities, limitations, and implications of GenAI-enabled software development.Governance, Risk, Compliance, and Security Alignment* Work closely with risk, compliance, and security teams to evolve controls, standards, and oversight frameworks for AI-assisted software development and deployment.* Help define how software engineering governance must adapt as AI-generated code becomes a significant component of enterprise application delivery.* Ensure GenAI adoption approaches are aligned with the control environment and regulatory expectations of a large banking institution.Cross-Functional Partnership and Industry Engagement* Engage with central engineering and architecture teams to represent the needs, priorities, and realities of application development teams using GenAI tools.* Collaborate with peers across application development organizations to share lessons learned, coordinate initiatives, and promote consistency where appropriate.* Monitor external industry developments, particularly within banking

current GenAI coding tools, models, and development platforms, and a strong understanding of their practical application in enterprise software engineering.* Experience building or guiding the delivery of enterprise-grade software systems using GenAI-assisted development approaches.* Proven experience leading large-scale technical transformation and cultural change initiatives within a complex enterprise environment, preferably in a large and/or global bank.* Strong understanding of software development governance, risk management, security controls, and compliance considerations within regulated environments.* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to educate, influence, and evangelize technical transformation strategies to senior technical

frameworks at scale.* Familiarity with secure software development, model governance considerations, and control frameworks relevant to AI-enabled engineering.* Experience working across global or multi-regional organizations.* Demonstrated ability to balance innovation, speed, quality, and control in enterprise technology environments.**Ideal Candidate Profile:**The ideal candidate is both a senior technologist and a transformation leader: someone with deep engineering credibility, strong knowledge of GenAI’s impact on software development, and the judgment to apply that knowledge in a practical, enterprise-ready way. This person should be equally comfortable advising senior executives, influencing engineering teams, and partnering with risk and control functions to shape the future of software delivery in a banking environment.**Other:*** As per MUFG’s Return to Office policy, a candidate must work onsite for 4 days and 1 day remotely out of Jersey City, NJ.* The typical base pay range for this role is between $212K - $231K depending on job-related knowledge, skills, experience and location.
