SVP, Engineering Delivery & Excellence

Responsibilities

• Delivery Leadership & Organizational Management
• Lead, develop, and hold accountable senior development and engineering leaders and their organizations, collectively responsible for software delivery across all Axos customer-facing platforms.
• Own delivery predictability as an organizational capability - improve the cadences, rituals, and accountability structures that make on-time, on-scope delivery the norm.
• Define and operate cross-team dependency management: surface coupling risks proactively across co-dependent platforms and resolve conflicts before they become delivery failures.
• Build and maintain engineering culture, career frameworks, and talent standards across development, QA, and BA disciplines, in partnership with HR and the Centers of Excellence.
• Lead project rescue missions to ensure key projects are restored to health from a budget and timeline perspective through proactive monitoring and active intervention when required.
• Agentic SDLC & AI-Driven Delivery
• Lead Axos' maturation to an agentic software development lifecycle - moving beyond AI-assisted coding to autonomous agents that participate actively in building, testing, reviewing, and shipping software.
• Define and execute the multi-year agentic SDLC roadmap, including agent-driven code generation, self-healing test automation, intelligent PR review, automated requirement decomposition, and pipeline orchestration.
• Measure the impact of agentic tooling in delivery terms: cycle time, defect escape rate, engineer throughput, and time-to-production - not adoption percentages.
• Evaluate, select, and integrate AI and agentic tooling in partnership with the Centers of Excellence, ensuring adoption is scalable, secure, and compliant with regulatory requirements.
• Quality & Customer Experience Standards
• Set and enforce the engineering quality bar for all customer-facing platforms across Consumer, SMB, Commercial, Wealth, and Securities segments.
• Own performance standards for all customer-facing products - zero-latency response times, reliability SLAs, accessibility compliance, and UX consistency are delivery criteria, not aspirational targets.
• Build QA into the delivery pipeline as a continuous, automated function - not a gate at the end. Champion shift-left testing and AI-augmented quality practices across all teams.
• Establish and track customer-facing performance benchmarks, using data to drive engineering investment decisions and communicate quality posture to executive stakeholders.
• Strategic Platform & Capability Foresight
• Provide strategic input on platform architecture and capability investment - anticipating where today's technical decision
