We are seeking a Director, Software Engineering to lead the technology strategy, planning, design, and development of key initiatives within the Marketplace domain of Experian Consumer Services. You are an engineer at heart—someone with a proven track record of building cloud-native platforms, working across a broad range of technologies, and evolving from hands-on engineering roles into a well-rounded, strategic leader. You will collaborate closely with Product Managers, Architects, and cross-functional engineering teams to deliver high-quality, scalable, cloud-based solutions as we build our next-generation Marketplace platform.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the sizing, architecture, design, development, and testing of key programs within Marketplace Engineering.
• Guide the development of technical solutions that are scalable, high-performing, and built with a strong emphasis on quality and maintainability.
• Lead a globally distributed team of engineers, driving hiring, onboarding, training, and performance management while fostering continuous feedback, skill development, and career growth to build and retain top talent.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders, product management, and the PMO to align on product roadmaps and quarterly planning.
• Ensure stable and efficient production operations with a focus on uptime, performance, and reliability.
• Be hands-on when needed, encouraging innovation and experimentation with emerging technologies to drive platform evolution.
• Represent engineering in executive forums, providing clear and concise updates on progress, risks, and strategic initiatives.
• Oversee engineering budgets, resource planning, and vendor relationships to optimize delivery and operational efficiency.
• Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory standards across all engineering initiatives.
• Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure engineering effectiveness, delivery velocity, and system health.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role managing teams.
• Proven experience designing and delivering scalable, cloud-native systems using containerized environments and orchestration tools (e.g., Kubernetes, ECS).
• Deep understanding of microservices architecture, event-driven systems, data pipelines, and modern backend frameworks.
• Familiarity with Server-Driven UI (SDUI) patterns and GraphQL APIs for dynamic, flexible front-end integration.
• Strong grasp of software design principles, architecture patterns, and engineering best practices, including test-driven development and CI/CD.
• Hands-on experience with security-first design and implementation in cloud environments.
• Demonstrated ability to build, lead, and inspire geographically distributed engineering teams.
• Passion for innovation, mentoring, and fostering a culture of learning and excellence.
