XVA-LeadSoftwareEngineer

Join Citi's XVA Technology team in London as a Lead Software Engineer at Vice President level, and take on a role at the intersection of advanced software engineering and AI-driven innovation — at a firm where your code, your decisions, and your ideas operate at global scale. This role is built for a hands-on engineer with deep AI and software development expertise who can independently set and drive a technical agenda — building production systems, embedding intelligent tooling, and owning project outcomes across a complex, high-impact domain. You will work alongside high-calibre engineers and engaged business partners to architect, build, and deliver solutions that redefine how XVA risk is calculated and managed globally. **Responsibilities** * Design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance software solutions for XVA risk systems, writing and reviewing production-quality code while ensuring alignment with enterprise architecture standards. * Build and integrate AI and Machine Learning solutions into core XVA workflows — applying Generative AI tooling to automate processes, improve analytical accuracy, and measurably accelerate engineering output. * Take end-to-end ownership of technology projects — from initial design and development through to production release — coordinating across engineering, business, and operations teams to keep projects on track. * Lead and run technology projects with confidence, managing timelines, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations while keeping the engineering team focused and unblocked. * Translate complex business requirements from Risk, Operations, and Technology partners into clear functional specifications, well-structured solution designs, and working software. * Drive Agile delivery practices across cross-functional and distributed teams, facilitating sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and release coordination. * Define project scope and ensure all solutions meet regulatory and compliance requirements, p
