Apps Dev Tech Sr Lead Analyst Java SVP at Citi. Own and drive end-to-end migration of legacy Mainframe workloads to modern Java-based microservices, reduce technology operating costs, lead engineering teams, and champion generative AI and agentic development in a regulated financial services environment.
Job Responsibility:
Own and drive end-to-end migration of legacy Mainframe workloads (COBOL, JCL, CICS, IMS, DB2/z) to modern Java-based microservices deployed on enterprise container platforms (OpenShift / Kubernetes)
Conduct application assessments to identify migration candidates, define target-state architectures, and produce sequenced migration roadmaps with risk registers and rollback plans
Establish reusable migration patterns, tooling, and runbooks to accelerate successive migration waves
Leverage AI-assisted code translation tools (e.g., autonomous AI coding agents such as Devin) to automate COBOL-to-Java conversion at scale, with human-in-the-loop review gates
Identify and quantify cost-reduction opportunities across MIPS consumption, software licensing, infrastructure footprint, and operational overhead
Build and maintain a technology cost model
track savings realisation against committed targets on a monthly cadence
Drive rationalisation of redundant systems, decommission end-of-life platforms, and consolidate tooling to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Partner with Finance and Vendor Management to renegotiate contracts and optimise spend through right-sizing, reserved capacity, and FinOps practices
Introduce engineering efficiency metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR) to demonstrate productivity gains that translate to measurable cost avoidance
Actively contribute to code reviews, architecture design sessions, and technical spike investigations as a practitioner — not just an observer
Define and enforce engineering standards: coding conventions, API design (REST / gRPC), CI/CD pipeline standards, and security-by-design principles
Lead adoption of modern Java ecosystem tooling: Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Maven/Gradle, JUnit 5, Mockito, and Testcontainers
Oversee containerisation and orchestration using Docker, Helm, and OpenShift / Kubernetes
govern CI/CD pipelines built on Tekton and Harness
Ensure observability best practices: structured logging (Splunk), distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry ), and metrics dashboards (Prometheus / Grafana)
Govern secrets management via HashiCorp Vault and enterprise M2M authentication standards (OAuth 2.0 / OIDC)
Champion the adoption of enterprise AI tooling across engineering teams
Drive agentic development using Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) and MCP (Model Context Protocol) to build multi-agent workflows that automate test generation, documentation, incident triage, and code migration tasks
Evaluate and pilot AI coding assistants (Devin and equivalents) for autonomous code generation and refactoring
establish guardrails and human-in-the-loop review processes
Ensure all AI tooling usage complies with data classification policies, enterprise authentication standards, and AI governance frameworks applicable in a regulated financial services environment
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4-10 engineers across multiple squads, fostering a high-performance engineering culture
Represent the India technology team in global forums, steering committees, and executive briefings
communicate programme status, risks, and decisions with clarity
Build strong partnerships with global counterparts across the US, UK, and APAC to align on architecture decisions and delivery priorities
Drive Agile / SAFe delivery practices: sprint planning, backlog grooming, retrospectives, and PI planning
Requirements:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical discipline
12–16 years of progressive software engineering experience, with at least 5 years in a senior technical leadership role (Tech Lead, Staff Engineer, principle)
Demonstrated experience leading or significantly contributing to at least one large-scale Mainframe modernisation or legacy platform migration programme
Prior experience in financial services, banking, or a similarly regulated industry strongly preferred
