We are seeking a transformative technology leader to serve as the Global Head of Index Build Technology Portfolio. This is a senior leadership role responsible for re-imagining and rebuilding the entire technology platform that powers the S&P Dow Jones Indices business. You will own the vision, strategy, and execution for the full index lifecycle-from initial research and prototyping to high-frequency calculation and global launch. Your mission is to build a highly scalable, automated, and resilient platform that enables SPDJI to dramatically accelerate its pace of innovation and expand its business into new markets and asset classes.

  • Develop Technical Vision & Strategy: Define and evangelize a long-term technical strategy to modernize the entire index creation, calculation, and rebalancing ecosystem. Your vision will directly enable the growth of the index business.
  • Lead Platform Re-architecture: Spearhead the greenfield re-design and automation of the end-to-end index lifecycle. This includes building common, reusable services for prototyping, back-testing, corporate action processing, and real-time calculation.
  • Drive Engineering Excellence: Foster a culture of high-throughput, engineering excellence inspired by best practices at top technology firms. Implement rigorous standards for code quality, and operational observability.
  • Build and Mentor a World-Class Team: Attract, retain, and develop exceptional engineering talent. You will be a hands-on mentor to senior engineers and managers, guiding their careers and cultivating a culture of innovation and continuous learning.
  • Partner with Business & Product: Act as a senior technology partner to the heads of Product, Index Design & Research, and Operations. Work directly with our most strategic clients to understand their needs and translate complex business requirements into a concrete technical roadmap.
  • Champion Modern Technology: Drive the adoption of a modern, cloud-native technology stack (AWS/GCP), leveraging serverless containerization, and streaming data technologies to build a low-latency, high-availability platform.
  • 15+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 7+ years in a senior leadership capacity (e.g., Director, Sr. Director, VP).
  • Demonstrable experience in designing and operating low-latency, high-throughput distributed systems. Direct experience in high-frequency trading (HFT), quantitative finance, market data distribution, or large-scale index construction is strongly preferred.
  • Proven track record of leading complex, multi-year platform modernization and automation initiatives from concept to completion.
  • Deep expertise in cloud architecture on either AWS or Google Cloud Platform. You should be fluent in designing systems using services like Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), serverless functions (Lambda/Cloud Functions), streaming data platforms (Kafka/Kinesis), and scalable databases.
  • Strong command of distributed systems principles and architecture patterns.
  • A firm grasp of SRE principles and experience building highly reliable and observable systems.
  • An exceptional ability to craft a compelling vision and inspire teams to execute on it.
  • A keen eye for talent and a genuine passion for mentoring engineers and leaders.
  • Outstanding communication skills, with the ability to engage in deep technical discussions with engineers and articulate strategy to executive-level business stakeholders and clients.
  • A strong product mindset with a history of building technology that drives tangible business outcomes.
  • Health & Wellness: Health care coverage designed for the mind and body.
  • Flexible Downtime: Generous time off helps keep you energized for your time on.
  • Continuous Learning: Access a wealth of resources to grow your career and learn valuable new skills.
  • Invest in Your Future: Secure your financial future through competitive pay, retirement planning, a continuing education program with a company-matched student loan contribution, and financial wellness programs.
  • Family Friendly Perks: It's not just about you. S&P Global has perks for your partners and little ones, too, with some best-in class benefits for families.
  • Beyond the Basics: From retail discounts to referral incentive awards-small perks can make a big difference.
