As part of Corporate Engineering, you will lead the engineering organization responsible for the platforms that protect identity and payment methods across wires, cheques, cards, and emerging payment channels. This is a senior leadership role for a hands‑on, technically credible engineering leader who combines deep Fraud domain expertise with modern software, data, and AI engineering capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Fraud Engineering Leadership

• Define and execute the global engineering strategy for BNY’s Fraud Hub, acting as the single engineering owner for Fraud platforms, standards, and delivery.
• Build, lead, and inspire a high‑performing global engineering organization with strong technical depth, clear ownership, and a relentless focus on quality and outcomes.
• Establish engineering standards for availability, resiliency, security, model risk management, and operational excellence across all Fraud technology.

Platform, Architecture, and AI Ownership

• Own the end‑to‑end architecture, build, and operation of scalable, real‑time Fraud detection and decisioning platforms.
• Design and operate streaming, event‑driven systems for real‑time Fraud detection, monitoring, and response across high‑volume payment and transaction flows.
• Integrate emerging AI‑driven systems for anomaly detection, behavior analysis, alert prioritization, investigation, and remediation.  Solutions must include biometrics, video and voice analytics.
• Develop retrospective and “after‑event” analytics capabilities to continuously improve models, controls, and defenses against emerging Fraud threats.
• Anticipate new Fraud vectors and proactively evolve platforms, data, and AI capabilities using a 360 mindset to stay ahead of the threat landscape.

Delivery, Operations, and Performance

• Provide full lifecycle ownership for Fraud platforms, including build, run, resiliency, incident response, and continuous improvement.
• Establish, track, and report KPIs and OKRs including uptime, MTTR, change success rate, SLA adherence, throughput, and operational risk indicators.
• Champion modern DevSecOps and MLOps practices, ensuring safe, repeatable, and auditable deployment of software and AI into production.

Enterprise Partnership and Influence

• Partner closely with Risk, Compliance, Cyber, Legal, Operations, and Product teams to translate regulatory and risk requirements into actionable engineering outcomes.
• Serve as a trusted engineering leader to senior executives and stakeholders, influencing investment, prioritization, and strategic direction.
• Provide a firmwide hub of Fraud engineering expertise, intelligence, and best practices, enabling consistent, high‑quality outcomes across the enterprise.

Qualifications & Experience

Required

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 5 years delivering Fraud, Financial Crime, or large‑scale risk analytics platforms.
• Proven experience building and deploying AI/ML‑driven solutions for Fraud detection, anomaly detection, or real‑time risk decisioning.
• Demonstrated success leading and scaling global engineering teams responsible for mission‑critical, regulated technology platforms.
• Hands‑on technical credibility and use of emerging AI tools: able to design systems, review code, evaluate architectures, and build working prototypes when needed.
• Experience operating AI in production environments, including model lifecycle management, monitoring, drift detection, explainability, and governance.
• Strong understanding of modern distributed systems, event‑driven architectures, streaming platforms, and cloud‑native design patterns.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity practices, identity and access management, logging/SIEM integrations, and secure‑by‑design engineering.

Preferred

• Experience working with industry Fraud platforms, vendor ecosystems, or participation in industry working groups.
• Experience operating in highly regulated financial environments and partnering with Compliance, Risk, and Audit teams.
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder‑management skills; comfortable influencing across lines of business and technology.
• You are energized by building platforms, not just managing teams.
